On the way back, among the many hills, we looked for a small mountain shaped like an upside-down bowl called “Komezuka.” Komezuka has a cute conical shape and is covered in lush green, making it look like matcha pudding. It also resembles Taiwan’s “Matcha Mountain.”
You can’t just park along the road, so we could only admire it from afar, but its distinctive appearance has left a deep impression on me.
The first time I saw Komezuka, I was struck by its unusual shape. The entire mountain looks like an upside-down rice ball or a little green hat. Its cone-shaped slopes are covered in lush grass, making it look adorable. Our guide explained that Komezuka was formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago, which made me appreciate the power of nature even more.
Viewed from a distance, Komezuka stands against vast grasslands, blue skies, and white clouds. The scenery is spectacular and incredibly refreshing. This trip not only allowed me to enjoy Aso's distinctive natural landscape but also taught me about volcanic landforms. I learned a lot. I hope to return to Aso someday to enjoy the scenery in different seasons and make more wonderful travel memories.
This is a famous little mountain in Aso—it looks just like an upside-down bowl of rice, which is super cute and charming! You can't climb it, but it's really impressive to see from the side. The perfectly round shape is so unique. The scenery around here is beautiful too, and it's great for photos. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!
Komezuka has such a unique shape—it really looks like a perfect little volcano! The whole thing is covered in green grass, which makes for a view you just don't see anywhere else.
