Senomoto plateau, Highland plateau between Kumamoto and Oita Prefecture, Japan
The Senomoto Plateau extends across 50 kilometers of straight roads connecting Aso region with Yufuin through natural grasslands and mountain ranges.
The area developed as a vital connection point between Kumamoto and Oita prefectures, forming part of the Yamanami Highway transportation network in the 1950s.
The plateau serves as a central point for seasonal flower festivals, featuring millions of flowers including tulips, lavender, and cosmos throughout spring to autumn.
Visitors can access the Senomoto Rest House for go-karting activities, with sessions available daily and height requirements starting at 110 centimeters.
The plateau experiences annual migrations of Chestnut Tiger Butterflies during mid to late October as they pass through on their seasonal journey.
