As of 08-16-23 , some parts of the areas in the castle is still on renovation because of the 2016 earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 that sustained heavy damages.
Too many active volcanoes around Kumamoto like the largest active one Mt.Aso , reason why earthquake is often 4x in a month.
There is so much to see in this place , amazing nature everywhere ⛰️🏯

Kumamoto Castle
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.

What to eat in Japan|This pub has made flowers for horse meat, each of which is the best appetizer
when it comes to Kumamoto, it must be a horse meat dish posted on the street. I have eaten horse meat in other places before coming here, and I dont have a deep impression. Until last night, the delicious can't stop, drunk in this home wine house. It is a "sakura meat", and it is the first Kumamoto of the country's meat horse breeding!
1 Test the owner's taste of the appetizer and change it daily. Tomato cream stewed seafood with mashed potatoes, a spoonful of sake and a small dish, instantly recognize this store, decided to add more!
2 The raw horse meat is mixed with cucumber. The amazing thing is the cantaloupe hidden in the cucumber, which embodies the unique sweetness of the horse meat. This dish is enough to drink a pot of wine.
3 The most recommended creation dish is the horse meat sauce cheese pizza. It is more like a pizza with a scented cheese soda cracker. It is topped with thick horse meat sauce and topped with spicy oil.
4 meat garlic sushi, using the finest pork belly and special sauce sesame oil, smooth and incomparable.
5Fried horse meatballs and horse meat cola shells. After chopping with chopsticks, large horse meat can be seen in the mashed potatoes. The meatballs are crispy and juicy, cost-effective appetizers, long live fried food!
6 Spicy fried horse meat slices in stone pot, this dish is very suitable for Chinese stomach, a bit like the practice of spicy chicken.
7XO Sauce Seafood Fried Rice
The biggest feature of this restaurant is the creation of horse meat and the Japanese wine variety that should be proud of. I sit in the corner and can only shoot the tip of the iceberg. There are 1000 in the store. The yen tastes a set of three Japanese sake.
* The horse's glycogen is three times that of beef, so the fresh horse meat has a special sweetness, vitamin content and calcium, iron and so on are the highest in red meat. And horse meat can consume excess heat in the body, and athletes use it to treat inflammation.

Visit Kumamoto Castle's 2 classic routes
to Kumamoto, where you will be the Kumamoto Castle. This Kumamoto Castle, once known as indestructible and never captured, collapsed in the attack of two earthquakes. Nowadays, in Kumamoto Castle, the glory of the past is faintly visible, but more is the wreckage. It is said that it takes 20 years for Japan to repair the Kumamoto Castle.
Tour Route 1: There are two routes to visit Kumamoto Castle. Most people choose to go up from the steps behind the Sakura Horse Racecourse, because Kumamoto Castle is built on the hills and the terrain near the Sakura Racecourse is relatively low. Short, it doesn't take much effort to get up. Along the way, you will pass through a wide grassland that has not been applied for, Yuan Taigu, Xi Dashou, and Erwan Park. After a round, you will arrive at Kato Shrine.
Features: The grass is photographed, the street in front of the Arboretum Arboretum is seen in the cherry blossoms
tour route 2: From Kumamoto's largest Tsuruya department store, walk along the road to Kumamoto Castle Inari Shrine Follow the road to visit the three tracks, the East 18th, do not open the door, and then climb a huge slope (a little laborious) to reach the Kato Shrine.
Line features: Visit Inari Shrine, less quiet, green avenue
!! The two routes are not repeated and are worth visiting.
Last tip: To see Kumamoto's iconic building, the size of the sky, the best location is in the courtyard of the Kato Shrine, and Kato Kiyoshi is the legendary figure who built this Kumamoto city.
The most famous feature of Kumamoto Castle is that the military returns to the military (the army wants to give up). Apart from its own towering and solid city walls, the designers have considered the situation of being surrounded by enemy forces at the beginning of the construction, so they are widely used in the city. Ginkgo biloba, even the material of the bed in the city, is made from the stems of the scorpion. The siege can be used as a reserve for the war. Therefore, the city of Kumamoto has the nickname "Ginkgo City", whenever the Ginkgo biloba leaves in the late autumn. When it is yellow, the beauty cannot be square.
In the Meiji era, Kumamoto Castle, as a throat fortress connecting the north and the south, stabilized half of Japan in the "Southwest War." At that time, the army of Kyushu's heroic Xixiang Longsheng was swearing from Kagoshima. However, when the army killed Kumamoto Castle, it couldnt be attacked.
There is also a samurai performance, the leftmost little girl is a descendant of the local warrior.
The first experience of kimono, Miao Ou Sang, @
Start our first day of exploration, every place in the city is linked to Kumamoto adults, people feel a sense of cuteness.
There are two choices of tram and bus in Kumamoto. The bus starts at 150 yen, but the farther and farther it is. The tram is no matter how far it is. It costs 170 yen, although there is only one line, but it covers the core. The area is basically enough.
How come to Japan can not come to the kimono experience, and there is a beautiful place in this place - Shuiqian Temple into the fun garden!
When the owner looked at me, I highly recommend this style that is really suitable for me! How are you going to be like locals?
On the way back, there will always be one or two on the road selling the cute Kumamoto, so that everyone feels happy;
Come to Kumamoto, if you don't have time to go to the minister's office, don't forget to go to the surrounding streets Look for the cute footprints of Kumamoto~
I thought Tokyo was beautiful until I came to Kyushu~
Traveling to Japan
Most people tend to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Hokkaido
But this time I chose Kyushu, Japan

Rustic countryside, I predict it will be popular this year

There is also a shopping street with some local food and souvenirs. If u can wait till around 430 the food stalls start clearing their food items at 50% discount 😂.

Falling for Kumamoto Castle in Japan
Japan has many castles open to the public for visiting, and Kumamoto Castle is one of the popular ones to visit. There are many exhibits which have undergone extensive restoration to retain its originality for visitors to have a taste of history. My favourite part of the castle will be the top floor where you can get a bird’s eye view of the castle grounds.
This castle is also a popular sakura viewing spot in spring, and in autumn some of the trees have their leaves turn yellow.
If you go to the castle now, certain parts may not be open to the public as they have been destroyed heavily by an earthquake in 2016. Hence, these parts may be undergoing restoration works. However, the main tower might have already been restored by now and you may choose to explore it instead.

The blue sky and white clouds of Quantum are an especially favorite element. I checked the baggage in advance and ended all the boarding procedures. We came to the boat and felt the atmosphere of the quantum number when we entered the door. On the way to board the ship, there was a band playing music. The first reaction was that this would be A joyous journey.
At 1 o'clock we can enter our own room, the quantum number has been circulating in the sea, sailing on the sea every day, but the destination may change, the first few times Cruises, Adzuki went to places like Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima. This time, we came to Kumamoto, the city where the cartoon dolls are everywhere, and you can find cute Kumamoto everywhere.
Kumamoto Castle () is located in the central area of Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It is one of Japan's famous attractions and a special national historical site of Japan. It is a Pingshan City. It has many buildings such as pavilions, Tianshou Pavilion, Sui (City Building), wells, stone walls, etc. The city is 5.3 kilometers long and is called the three famous cities in Japan together with Himeji Castle and Nagoya Castle. When Kato was building the city, he considered that there was a need for food supply in the city during the siege. Therefore, Ginkgo biloba was planted to prepare food for war, so it was also known as Ginkgo City. It was discovered by the Kato Shrine in front of Kumamoto Castle that Kumamoto Castle is still not open to the public so far. As the castle city of Kumamoto Castle, it is still daunting. In fact, if it wasn't for Kato's seven years of time to cite the most advanced method of building the city at the time, I am afraid that what we saw today is really only the ruin. . Since the road to the main city has been closed, the Kato Shrine is currently one of the best places to photograph the main city castle tower or take a group photo. Visitors who come to see Kumamoto Castle and the shrine every day are constantly coming.
Kumamoto City has three highlights: 1. Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's famous attractions, also known as Ginkgo City, and Osaka City and Nagoya Castle are the three famous cities in Japan. The Kumamoto Castle under the blue sky is very magnificent. Magnificent; 2, Kumamoto Bear Minister, a mascot with two sprouts and blushing, here is its hometown, where the figure of Kumamoto Bear is everywhere; 3, horse meat sashimi, horse meat sashimi is the special food here, The freshness of the meat is very high, so in addition to Kumamoto, other places are not eaten! Moreover, the fat content of horse meat is low, and the ginger and garlic juice are really the entrance! z
From Kumamoto Station, we greeted the afternoon sun~ Kumamoto City has no subway, there is a tram, but because we are carrying a big box, we take a taxi directly to the hotel.
From the hotel, you can walk to the commercial street. Since we haven't eaten for almost a day, we saw a signature ramen shop on the commercial street and rushed straight in.
The result is! Very tasty! ! The thick soup and the noodles of Q bombs really saved the stomach of a plane meal all day. Kumamoto is an agricultural county. Pork and fruits and vegetables are special products, so the ingredients for eating here are very good, everyone can safely forage. . In fact, if you visit Japan frequently, Kumamoto's pork is very famous throughout Japan. There are signs of "Kumamoto" or "Kyushu", and everything you can eat here is definitely Kumamoto. .
Kumamoto is a city I always wanted to go to. It is really too hot in the country. I even think that I must live in a city of KUMAMON. In addition to Meng Chong, there is also an ancient city with ancient charms, as well as unforgettable and magnificent natural beauty, and more delicious food.
Kumamoto Castle, which is designated as a special national historical site, is a combination of Otsuka Castle and Himeji Castle, and is known as the three famous cities in Japan. It was built in 1607 by Kato Kiyoshi, and is around 5.3 in the city. Kilometers, a two-tone black and white mixture of the "Thousand Island Mountain Wall" and the curved "Tangshan Wall". Because there are many ginkgo trees in the city, it is also known as Ginkgo City.
Its not a long way to come, the sun is just right, and I meet the fall.
I havent seen any maple leaves for half a month at the beginning of the month. In Kumamotos day, I met red leaves and large ginkgo. This years Japanese card is finished, and Im tired of the streets~
Japan, with good money, can go and leave, every street is a view.
The earthquake in April 2016 caused an incalculable loss to the ancient city of Kumamoto. The main cultural heritage of Kumamoto, about 242m long, collapsed nearly 100m. The castle was damaged and the wall gate was only a small part. Also reserved.
After a year and here, it is still full of life and still green. The old man took a cold under the tree, and the mother walked with the children. Everything was still so quiet.
When I learned that they would use 30 years or more to restore Kumamoto City, I expressed a great question mark in my heart? ? ? I got it in my big day in 3 years.
But when I learned that they were going to recover the stone from the earthquake, it was restored in situ, and all the stones of one grain were labeled as shown below, all of which were restored to the appearance of hundreds of years ago. The question mark also became a big exclamation point.
There are three people living in the ancient city of Kumamoto Castle. They are warriors of Kumamoto Castle. There are two performances at the entrance to Kumamoto City every morning and afternoon. Moreover, this warrior is a true warrior. They are hereditary warriors, not casual actors who are casually found. This makes me feel very admired. From the grandfather of my grandfathers grandfather, he is a warrior. Inheriting to this day, his descendants are still being warriors. Although the current samurai may not have the meaning of defending the city, it is really admirable that a family has done one thing for hundreds of years.
Among the three warriors, one is a sister. Guess who she is?
Today is the day when the boat is docked. Everyone can go to the shore of Kumamoto for sightseeing. Before the departure, they chat with Ajiu. Everyone agrees that it is too long to go to Kumamotos office, and they have been swearing for the Buddhas players. Instead of keeping up with the route of the big forces, I strolled directly in the nearby park of Kumamoto-Yatsushiro, but I encountered the last fall of Kumamoto. Facing the light of the street shop, the clouds between the leaves are inadvertently seen. The blue and white, like the panic that just rushed home, is more like a time-honored collision.
Like this warm time, and the warmth of Japanese style~
