Planning a trip to Mount Aso is a dream for many travelers to Kumamoto, but the most daunting question is often: "Is it possible to explore Mount Aso in depth without driving?" The answer is yes! As long as you choose the right accommodation, you can enjoy maximum freedom even without a car. MOVA Villa's Yuanshui series villas are designed for those who appreciate a slower pace and love railway travel.
Why is Yuanshui District such a perfect teammate for "railway enthusiasts" and "driverless passengers"?

Dragging heavy luggage through transfers in Kyushu can be a challenge. MOVA Villa Haramizu is just a 3-minute walk from JR Hohi Main Line's Haramizu Station . From getting off the train to stepping into your home, it only takes the time it takes to listen to a song, allowing you to completely free your hands and start your journey with elegance.

Starting from Haramizu Station, you can take a direct train to Aso-Aso Station without complicated transfers. You can also book the super popular "ASO BOY!" special train and transfer at Higo-Otsu Station, the next stop after Haramizuzu. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kusasenri outside the window while taking in a railway bento – this is the true ritual of traveling in Kyushu.
