A giant onsen symbol was created on a green field of Minamioguni Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, to attract more tourists to its hot-spring district. Five locals drew the 40-meter wide symbol with a mower inside one of the town’s designated areas for drone flights. Visitors can purchase ‘Minamioguni Drone Tegata’ (drone permit) for ¥3,000 per day to enjoy shooting movies and photos of the remarkable nature of Aso. Source: Asahi
