Things to do in Kumamoto City

Kumamoto Castle is full of ingenuity. In my mind, the castle ruins are truly magnificent. Most astonishing are the piles of stones beneath the walls. They were rolled down during the Kumamoto earthquake. While progress is slow, they will one day be rebuilt.

One of my favorite areas and attractions in Kitakyushu. The whole Aso area is beautiful. We were lucky enough to see horses in Kusasenri and go to the crater. It might be the off-season, but there were not many people in the view restaurant. You can sit as you like. It's so friendly. I want to bring my kids back in the summer to see the green scenery. I highly recommend Aso! You can also go to Kurokawa Onsen, which is great.

This time, I bought the Kyushu FunPASS Kumamoto 2-day ticket, which is perfect for exploring Kumamoto. It gives you direct entry to Kumamoto Castle and the Wakyu-za Theater, which are truly beautiful. I highly recommend it. You can also exchange it for an extra 1,100 yen worth of shopping street tickets, which is a great deal. We also went to the Yatai Village in the evening, where we could exchange it for alcohol and drinks.

It is a very beautiful park in Kumamoto city. There are yukata to wear. You can rent them to wear and take pictures. The price is okay. Japanese shoes are included. The atmosphere is cold and windy. When I went, there was a little snow. There are food for sale. Japanese purple sweet potatoes are very delicious. 10/10

The mascot of Kumamoto City, the last person to speak, is always crowded wherever he goes, all wanting to see him! That is Kumamon, known as the Minister of Bear! The office is always empty, because he is on patrol!

The Kumamoto Revitalization Plan is an activity that aims to become the driving force for the revitalization of Kumamoto under such circumstances. For example, bronze statues of characters from the popular manga "One Piece" by local manga artist Eiichiro Oda have been set up in various places in Kumamoto Prefecture. Currently, there are three statues, including Luffy, Sanji, and Trickster. Anime fans will surely enjoy visiting the statue sites. Be sure to stop by when you come to Kumamoto for sightseeing.
