Kumamoto in Kyushu has become a very popular city in recent years. After undergoing restoration following the earthquake, Kumamoto Castle has regained its historical significance and importance.

We also bought some Kumamon-themed souvenirs, perfect for gifting to friends! 🐻 Third Stop: Kumamon's Office To wrap up the day, we couldn’t miss visiting Kumamon’s office🧸.

It’s a great final stop for grabbing some bargains! ✈️ Travel Tips for Returning The biggest surprise was taking a direct flight from Kumamoto Airport to Hong Kong via Hong Kong Airlines—super convenient! No need for transfers, and the airport is small but efficient.

While the current keep is made of reinforced concrete, its exterior faithfully replicates the original design. Inside, modern exhibition spaces feature projections, models, and displays that detail the castle's history, the earthquake damage, and the reconstruction process, offering great educational value.

His dishes and food are all in cooperation with JA. That is the Japanese Agricultural Cooperative Association, so each place will vary according to the season and price. To match the local set meals and meals with different characteristics, I sincerely recommend it, the price is very affordable.

When visiting Kumamoto in Kyushu, you can't miss the opportunity to see Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's three famous castles. Built by the renowned castle architect Kato Kiyomasa, the castle boasts a majestic appearance and sturdy structure. The layered stone walls and winding, complex passages make Kumamoto Castle as impregnable as a fortress. The contrast between the black lacquered exterior walls and the white plaster adds to its grandeur and distinctiveness. Although the Kumamoto Earthquake caused severe damage to the main keep, part of it was restored and reopened in 2021. This allows visitors to capture the magnificent beauty of the castle. Missing out on Kumamoto Castle would feel like an incomplete trip to Kumamoto. The most convenient way to reach Kumamoto Castle is by taking the city tram.

While exploring, you can soak in the tourist atmosphere and also visit the Kumamon Office to take a photo with this beloved tourism ambassador.

#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.

This month, I flew to Kumamoto Prefecture from Haneda Airport on JAL. When I arrived at Aso Kumamoto Airport, I rented a car and drove around Aso and explored Kumamoto Castle. Kumamoto Castle was crowded with many foreign tourists. However, since it was still early September and the temperature was high, everyone seemed tired, so it was essential to stay hydrated. I had some delicious Kumamoto ramen around Kumamoto Station. And, as expected, there were a lot of Kumamons. On the packaging of sweets, on window panes, and on car license plates, it was a town full of Kumamons! Why not try Kumamoto Prefecture! #100TravelStyles #trip #KumamotoPrefecture #solotrip #airplanetrip2024 #kumamototrip #kumamotocastle

I have always wanted to see Kumamoto Castle, one of the three largest castles in Japan. When I read about how the castle was rebuilt after the fire and earthquake, I was impressed by the Japanese people's insistence on restoring the castle to its original appearance. It takes 15 minutes by train from Kumamoto Station. When I got off the train and saw the moat, I was shocked by the scale of the castle. I walked all the way up to the top and was even more amazed by the scenery of the castle. I just saw the Kumamon fan meeting when I came down. It was so cute! #熊本 #熊本城 #熊本熊

The front and back of Kumamoto Castle by Kato Kiyomasa🥳 The three idiots, Mengzi, Weishimei and Lemonzi finally arrived at Kumamoto Castle. They took photos from the front and back. It was so beautiful. It would be even better if there was a blue sky, but you can't force it. The silly minister started from the back entrance and walked a little further, but he was lucky enough to see the shrine of Kato Kiyomasa, who was the owner of Kumamoto Castle during the Warring States Period. It’s a pity that he died young 🙂↕️ The castle was still under renovation when I first came here. I was so touched to be able to climb the castle in my lifetime😭 God bless Kumamoto! #Kumamoto Castle #Kumamon #kumamotocastle #Kato Kiyomasa #Miyazaki Inu #kumamon #foodie #monkey #raccoon #kumamoto #Kumamoto #God bless Kumamoto #earthquake #famous castle #castle

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.
