Maastricht, Bonji, Komori-cho, and Omozos This cross-territorial self-tourning line is perfect for those of you who like slow life exploration and anime and manga culture! The highlight of the itinerary is the must-visit Takamori-cho - Uisemi Kumanoza Shrine, not only because the shrine itself is aura ✨, but also because it is close to Kumamon, One Piece and other elements, I believe anime and manga fans will think of "stepping on the spot"! [Attraction Inventory Recommendation] First of all, let's talk about the must-visit photo spot in Takamori-cho this time: Kamishimi Kumanoza Shrine 📍Address: 2619 Kamishikimi, Takamori, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-1601 Japan ⏰ Open all day year round - Don’t leave in a hurry even if you check in! It takes about more time to walk from Takamori Station to the shrine, along the way with moss stone lanterns and dense woods, it really feels like an anime scene! I remember I was thinking of playing the character in One Piece to explore the route, walking up is quite a sense of exploration ~ (if you like Kumamon, remember to buy cute Kumamon souvenirs around the station before setting off) Maastricht and Bongi are both popular slow-life destinations in Europe in recent years. Maastricht's cityscape is super artistic, perfect for those who like cafe hunting and alley walks; When you visit Omozos, if you can allow more time, you can try local cuisine or authentic desserts, many small shops are very characteristic. When I return to Takamori-cho, I must eat a bowl of salted flying fish ramen (some ramen in Sasebo area is super fresh, fishy but not salty). Every time I eat it, I think to come back next time! 【Authentic Transportation & Food Tips】 🔹Takamori Station to Kamishimi Kumanoza Shrine can be walked or taken by bus, walk for about 20-30 minutes, the scenery along the way is quite healing (but recommended to wear good shoes!) 🔹Sasebo Salted Flying Fish Ramen: There are many ramen shops near Takamori Station, remember to check the business hours, many places are open for dinner, do not want to miss can start foraging in the afternoon. [Traveler's Tips] - If the itinerary has anime and manga check-in goals, it is recommended to leave in the morning to avoid the crowds for easy shooting - Japanese rural bus services are not frequent, it is best to check the timetable, do not miss the last bus - Some small shops around the attraction only accept cash, remember to prepare yen change - Coloring see Kumanoza Shrine surrounded by heavy shade of trees, spring and summer to bring mosquito repellent; in autumn the scenery is super beautiful for photography The overall itinerary not only features a slow tour of the Japanese countryside, shrine inspiration, but also embedded anime and manga Easter eggs and authentic food moments. #上色见Kumanoza Shrine #Kumamon #One Piece #Takamoricho Slow Tour #Salted Flying Fish Ramen

Hidden among the mountains and forests of Kumamoto Takamori-cho, the Kamishimi Kumanoza Shrine is full of mysterious atmosphere and can be called a live version of a Japanese manga. Walking into the stone steps path of the shrine, there are old trees on both sides, moss paved, stone lanterns, surrounded by morning light and shadow or thin fog, it feels like traveling through another world, taking pictures super feeling! Route Recommendation: It is recommended to get there by car or by the town bus. After landing, start from the entrance and climb up the stairs for about 10 minutes to the main shrine. There are about a hundred stone lanterns along the way, which are worth slowly admiring and wanting to stop and take pictures every 20 meters! Before reaching the main hall of the shrine, you will pass a “crossing rock”, which is said to be very energetic and can take pictures and pray for blessings. Must-play items and photo spots: 1. Stone Step Corridor: Hundreds of stone lanterns line up, a casual shot has a Japanese manga feel, especially when the weather is slightly foggy or sunset. 2. Crossing the Rock: Legend has it that just through the rock cave, your wishes will come true. 3. Big tree in front of the society hall: The giant tree baptized by the years, full of classical atmosphere, can feel the power of nature. 4. Stone lanterns and moss stone on both sides: With sunlight or after-rain effect, take super nostalgic texture photos. Game Tips: 1. It is recommended to visit in the morning or evening. 2. The road is a little wet and slippery, it is recommended to wear comfortable sneakers, pay attention to safety. 3. The venue is located in a forest area, remember to bring mosquito repellent. 4. If you encounter rain, the fog is even more fantastic, but be aware that the camera is waterproof. Notes: - The shrine is open 24/7, no tickets required, free access day and night, however no lights at night, be careful and safe. - There are fewer restaurants nearby, so you can bring water and snacks. - The signal is weaker in the mountains and forests, remember to check the route in advance. If you like taking pictures, immersive experiences or manga atmosphere, the Shinse-Kumanoza Shrine is definitely a must-visit in Takamori-cho to experience the mystery of the Japanese countryside for yourself!
