A large-scale exhibition of Anpanman's creator, Yanase Takashi (1919-2013). Yanase, who was a manga artist, poet, picture book author, illustrator, designer, editor, and other diverse artists, was also an entertainer of the highest order. His greatest joy in life was "making people happy."
Yanase, who endured harsh wartime experiences, parting ways with his family, and meeting various people, continued to ask himself "Why was I born and what do I live for?" He arrived at the image of a hero who, even if it was uncool, could give a piece of bread, or "anpan," to someone who was truly in need.
This exhibition commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Yanase Takashi Memorial Museum Anpanman Museum in 2026, and will unravel his works on the themes of "Takashi Yanase Anatomy," "Manga," "Poetry," "Picture Books/Yanase Fairy Tales," and "Anpanman," focusing on approximately 200 original drawings.

Kumamoto Castle

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.

Mount Aso

Aso has a unique weather and is home to flowers, birds and butterflies. More than 2,500 mm of rainfall falls on the grassland every year, seeping into the vast land and becoming the source of six first-level rivers, providing water for about 2.3 million people in Kyushu. There are as many as 1,500 places in Aso that are known as &quot;famous water&quot;. Because the grassland is fertile and the grass grown is suitable for grazing, the milk produced here is also very fresh. Let&#39;s drink this glass of milk from Mount Aso🥛

Kumamon Square

There are two performances every day, from 2:00 to 2:30 in the afternoon, which is very suitable for parent-child activities. Of course, adults are also very happy. Minister Bear is cute, lively and interactive. Not bad 👍

Aso Boy

Princesstt

This is a sightseeing train from Kumamoto Station to Sankaku Station. The calm and majestic black color is embellished with a golden exterior, with angel-carved glass, a wooden ceiling inlaid with a golden logo, velvet seat covers with classical patterns, and colorful icy glass everywhere.

Next to Kumamoto Castle is Sakura-no-Baba. It&#39;s not a big place, it&#39;s actually a small market with food and shopping. There are quite a lot of people. You can find a place to sit down and eat something. If you don&#39;t eat, you can basically finish the shopping in 20 minutes. It&#39;s not a must-visit place, but because it&#39;s right next to Kumamoto Castle, it&#39;s nice to stop by and take a look.
