#100TravelWays Kumamoto Castle~"The wide moat and towering towers remind me of the warriors of the Warring States Period who rode their horses and wielded swords" Kumamoto Castle is listed as one of the "100 Famous Castles" and is also one of the "Three Great Ancient Castles" in Japan🇯🇵. It carries the historical changes and cultural transmission, and explains to future generations the life music interwoven by the samurai! ! This is also a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms and ginkgo trees~ 📚History introduction: The introduction of Kumamoto Castle can be roughly divided into two aspects: "people" and "war"~ Let me tell you~ "People": ➡️Kato Kiyomasa: He was the "castle builder". After he entered Hefei and became a daimyo, he began to devote himself to the "mountain and water control project" and implemented the "Southern Barbarian Trade" policy, which promoted the development of the local economy. Later generations honored him as "Kiyomasa-kun" ➡️Hosokawa Tadatoshi: After the "Kiyomasa family" left Hefei, the Hosokawa family took over and became the lord of Kumamoto Castle. Hosokawa Tadatoshi was a versatile person who was both civil and military! ➡️Miyamoto Musashi: He was a great swordsman. Hosokawa Tadatoshi admired Musashi's talent, so he invited him to Hefei in his later years, and he lived out his old age in Kumamoto. Musashi's famous "two-sword style" was created in Kumamoto. "War" ➡️Southwest War: In the Southwest War that took place in February of the 10th year of the Meiji era (1877), Kumamoto Castle became the stage for a 50-day siege. The castle was besieged by 3,500 garrison troops led by Kumamoto Garrison Commander Tani Kanjo and fought against 13,000 Satsuma troops, making Kumamoto Castle a castle that had experienced modern warfare and also proved to be an impregnable fortress. However, on the eve of the war, the castle tower and Honmaru Palace were surrounded by fire. 📖Special highlights: "Ginkgo Castle": This is another name for Kumamoto Castle. When Lord Kiyomasa built the castle, he thought of the possibility of a "siege", so he planted "Ginkgo" around it to avoid a situation where there would be no food to eat when the castle was besieged! "Zhojun no Ma": In 2008, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the construction of Kumamoto Castle, the "Honmaru Goten Ohiroma" was rebuilt. The building is based on paintings, literature, photos taken in the early Meiji period, and data from excavation surveys during the Edo period. It restores the charm of the Honmaru Palace Ohiroma during the Edo period. There are murals depicting the sad story of "Wang Zhaojun". It is said that the Zhaojun room is a metaphor for the "Shogun room". It is said that Kato Kiyomasa prepared it to welcome Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Hideyori to Kumamoto Castle. "Musha-return": It is one of the characteristics of Kumamoto Castle. It is built with several "stone walls". At that time, it was designed to be curved to prevent the possibility of sneak attacks and assassinations. It was named because neither samurai nor ninjas could climb it! ! "Kikita": It is a puppet mask with black hair and a red face👺. It is said that it was a lower-ranking samurai when "Kiyomasa" was building the castle. Because of his funny appearance🤪, he often amused everyone, so he took this opportunity to create a puppet toy~ 🍜Special snacks: You can try "Sakura meat🍖"! It’s actually horse meat! ! The texture is quite chewy, and it can be made into fried cakes or sushi🍣. Travelers who want to try it should remember to line up early, as there are so many people! 📍Address: 14F, 1-1, Tetori-honmachi, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City 🕰️Business hours: Weekdays 8:30-22:00 Holidays 10:00-22:00 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: There are "Sakura-no-Baba Josaien" and "Wakawa-za" nearby, which you can visit together! ! 🗓️Itinerary: Sakura no Baba Josaien-Wakyu-za-Kumamoto Museum-Kumamoto Castle (Two-museum and three-museum common tickets are available for purchase. It is recommended to buy the three-museum common ticket at one time. After experiencing the Wakyu-za and the museum, it will be very different to visit Kumamoto Castle!!) 🚴Transportation: Kumamoto City Tram "Kumamoto Castle・Shiyakusho-mae" station is about 1 minute walk (You can buy the Kumamoto One-Day Pass, which is more cost-effective~) 💞Recommendation reasons: 1. One hundred famous castles 2. Japan's three famous and ancient castles 3. If you are a history lover, especially those who are interested in Japanese culture #Kumamoto Travel #Kumamoto Castle #One hundred famous castles #Three famous castles #Kato Kiyomasa #Hosokawa Tadatoshi #Miyamoto Musashi #Solo Travel

#日韩春好精品#Kumamoto Castle #cherry blossoms In mid-to-late March 2024, the weather was still cool and the cherry blossoms in Kumamoto Castle were still not in full bloom. There was only one blooming cherry blossom tree outside the city wall. Blue sky and white clouds, clear lake water, leaving reflections. Through the city wall, you can see the afterglow of the sunset. The scenery in the evening, with the dancing shadows of the trees, is pleasant.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : You can also take a helicopter to see the volcano in Asu, which costs about 250 yuan; Asu Boy is available on holidays and is very suitable for parents with children. The design is quite cute. 💙Attractions: Only one crater is open, and it is emitting hot steam; we also went to Sand Thousand Miles, and the hike was not difficult. It was not the most beautiful season when I went to Kusasenri. It was like an alpine ranch. There were restaurants near the museum, and there was a Lawson in front of Aso Station where you could buy some supplies. Overall 3 hours in Aso was more than enough for me. There is a Luffy statue in front of Aso Station; there is a hot spring for footbathing; 🍜Food review: Ryu no Ya Ramen is delicious and cheap, there are many delicious ramen in Kumamoto - ③: Kumamoto Day Tour: Sakura no Baba-Kato Shrine-Castle Tower-Kumamoto Minister's Office-Suizenji Jojuen-Fukuoka 🚄Transportation: Kitakyushu JR Pass 3 days, Kumamoto-Fukuoka Shinkansen; Kumamoto Tram One-Day Ticket, 500 yen 📒Other notes: There is actually nothing fun in Kumamoto City. I originally planned to go to Amakusa to see dolphins, but when I arrived at Sankaku Station, I was told that the boat was cancelled due to strong winds and waves. I wasted a whole morning going back and forth to Triangle, and spent half a day touring the city. If I had gone to Amakusa, I could have spent another day there. I can find reservation information by searching for Amakusa Dolphin. There are trams and buses in Kumamoto City. The two tram lines are very retro and the coupons are very cost-effective, and they can basically go to all places. 💙Attractions: Kumamoto Castle collapsed due to an earthquake and is still under repair. The castle tower is a calm black color, which makes it look more solemn. You can check the reception hours of Minister Kumamon’s office on the official website and reserve a seat in advance because there are so many people. 🍜Food review: Katretsu-tei - Michelin-rated pork cutlet. You have to queue up at 2pm. The pork cutlet is very crispy. I have also eaten Michelin-rated pork cutlet. Horse meat is a specialty of Kumamoto, but I didn’t dare to try it.

This is obviously the best castle in Japan. The castle tower is so huge that even all of Japanese are amazed by the size. Due to the terrible earthquake, the castle tower was destroyed in 2016, and it reopened several years ago. Although it is still under restoration, the view of the castle and cherry blossoms are so beautiful. To get there, you must go to Kumamoto City, which is about 90 minutes from Tokyo by airplane. But, of course, castle is the center of the city. Hence, everywhere you are , you can see the castle. #Kumamoto #Earthquake #Castle #Cherry #Japan #熊本城 #花見 #日本 #地震

#Japan Attractions The last time I came to Kumamoto was in 2017, when the earthquake, Kumamoto Castle is not open to the public, so I did not officially enter, this first time to enter, full of emotion, here is really beautiful 💕 Lucky I encountered the cherry blossom season, cherry blossoms plus one of the three famous cities, photography can not stop. Kumamoto Castle occupies a vast area, of which the castle’s high tower (tenshukaku) is a concrete reconstructed building built in 1960. When I saw the parts outside the city that were still not repaired, I felt a little sad🥹 If you travel to Kyushu, Kumamoto Castle is a must-visit attraction. The way to get there is very simple. Transfer to the Kumamoto City Electric A system in front of Kumamoto Station. #OverseasTravel #travel #Japan #Kumamoto #Kumamoto Castle
