Kumamoto Castle is full of ingenuity. In my mind, the castle ruins are truly magnificent. Most astonishing are the piles of stones beneath the walls. They were rolled down during the Kumamoto earthquake. While progress is slow, they will one day be rebuilt.

I would like to recommend Kurokawa Onsen! There are baths, you can eat while walking, and the air is delicious and relaxing. A car is necessary and the roads are narrow, but they are one-way so it is easy to get around ☺️ The people are kind and friendly, and it feels like you are on a trip, which makes you feel good 🎵

There are two performances every day, from 2:00 to 2:30 in the afternoon, which is very suitable for parent-child activities. Of course, adults are also very happy. Minister Bear is cute, lively and interactive. Not bad 👍

Aso has a unique weather and is home to flowers, birds and butterflies. More than 2,500 mm of rainfall falls on the grassland every year, seeping into the vast land and becoming the source of six first-level rivers, providing water for about 2.3 million people in Kyushu. There are as many as 1,500 places in Aso that are known as "famous water". Because the grassland is fertile and the grass grown is suitable for grazing, the milk produced here is also very fresh. Let's drink this glass of milk from Mount Aso🥛

Deep in the secrets of the Aso region, there is actually a very famous hidden attraction. That is Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine. Because the shrine is located in the deep mountains and dense forests, on the way to the temple, you can see moss-covered stone lanterns and torii. The moment you step in, it feels like you have walked into another world, so this place is also called the "mysterious entrance to the other world."   The two popular anime "Firefly Forest" and "Natsume's Book of Friends" were filmed here, adding a touch of mystery to this place, attracting countless anime fans like me to come here for pilgrimage

This is a sightseeing train from Kumamoto Station to Sankaku Station. The calm and majestic black color is embellished with a golden exterior, with angel-carved glass, a wooden ceiling inlaid with a golden logo, velvet seat covers with classical patterns, and colorful icy glass everywhere.

One of a kind experience and breath taking views to absorb should it be of acceptable air quality at the crater area/ proximity.

It was a very satisfying trip. The Amakusa dolphin watching tour, which was previously difficult to book, was unexpectedly available on Ctrip. We took a direct bus from Sakuramachi this morning. Upon arrival, we were supposed to quickly queue up to exchange our tickets. I was hesitant to exchange my tickets, but when I boarded, I found that all the seats on the first floor were taken. However, the seats on the basement level were more comfortable (all the people on the return trip had already grabbed them). When we got to a dolphin-infested area, they would stop and let everyone go up to the second deck to watch. Remember to use your bag to reserve a spot; my seat was taken on my return trip...

Next to Kumamoto Castle is Sakura-no-Baba. It's not a big place, it's actually a small market with food and shopping. There are quite a lot of people. You can find a place to sit down and eat something. If you don't eat, you can basically finish the shopping in 20 minutes. It's not a must-visit place, but because it's right next to Kumamoto Castle, it's nice to stop by and take a look.

Suizenji Jojuen Garden is also a place you can visit in Kumamoto. It takes 10 to 20 minutes by car from the city. The whole garden is quite designed. There is a very beautiful lake in the middle with many fat fish. If you like history, you can spend more time there. Normally, one and a half hours is enough to finish the tour. If the weather is good, it is still quite photogenic.
