Kumamoto Plain, Alluvial plain in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.

The Kumamoto Plain stretches across central Kyushu with an elevation of zero meters, featuring sediment deposits from multiple river systems flowing through the region.

The formation of Kumamoto Plain occurred through geological processes spanning thousands of years, creating fertile grounds that supported agricultural development in Higo Province.

Local communities throughout the Kumamoto Plain maintain agricultural traditions through seasonal festivals that connect residents with their farming heritage and natural environment.

The flat terrain and nutrient-rich soil of Kumamoto Plain provide excellent conditions for crop cultivation, making it a major agricultural center in Kyushu.

The plain sits within view of Mount Aso, an active volcano reaching 1,592 meters, creating a geographical contrast between the flat lands and mountainous surroundings.
