1 day at Kumamoto Castle

At first, we planned to spend 1 day in Kumamoto City, but yes, we were dizzy early in the morning and booked the wrong bus time. We were also too lazy to queue up to change because it was Christmas when we went, so we only went to Kumamoto Castle. But believe it or not, it was worth it! How to get there - We took the JR train to Kumamoto St. and then took the Tempo to Kumamoto Castle. Attractions - Kumamoto Castle is the 3rd largest castle in Japan. Inside the castle, there is an exhibition of historical artifacts from the early Edo period. Average price per person: We bought a ticket to enter the castle for 800 yen. I remember there was another price but it included some kind of entrance fee. I can't remember. Opening hours: 09.00-16.30 Reason for recommendation: It is an important historical landmark of Japan that anyone who likes it should visit at least once. On the day we went, there was a rare samurai show. There were staff to recommend spots on each floor. On the top floor of the castle, we could see the city view of Kumamoto City. Plus, there was a river flowing around the castle. It's also close to another landmark of the city. The weather is nice, walk quickly, let's go! When we went, there were some parts of the castle that were not open for visitors yet because there were parts of the castle that were still under repair from the earthquake. Next time, I promised Kumamon that I would stay overnight. #JapanTravel #kumamoto #kumamotocastle #japan #japantravel #trip
