[Kumamoto Prefecture/Kumamoto Castle]

The Kumamoto Castle Hospitality Samurai Troop's stage performance was entertaining. They danced and told stories in a samurai-like style, which was entertaining. Seven years have passed since the Kumamoto earthquake, and the restoration of the castle tower has been completed. There are still some areas that have not been restored, and it will take some time until the castle is fully restored. At Wakuwaku-za, there was an exhibit using photographs, videos, and dioramas showing the process from the damage caused by the earthquake to the restoration. You could experience just how big the earthquake was and how difficult the restoration process was.
