Connected to the ocean yet sheltered from the waves, Shirakawa Springs is an excellent place to sit in contemplation and get some artistic photos of the scenery.
This area of shallow water is often on the itineraries of visitors to Minamiaso. But Shirakawa Springs isn't the area's only drawcard. Mount Aso, Kusasenri Observatory, and Aso Highland Museum Park are some other worthwhile attractions close by.
