Kumamon Square Review

The mascot of Kumamoto City's last word, where it goes, where it is crowded, want to see it! That is Kumamoto bear, people send big names, bear minister! The office is always empty, it goes to patrol!

Kumamoto Bear Square (Kumamon Square) is located on the 1st floor of the East Hall of Trakaya Department Store. Kumamoto City Electric "Waterway" is just off the bus. In 2013, it was built by the Kumamoto Prefecture Government at a cost of about 46 million yen. It has an exchange area and a sales store around Kumamoto Bear. The best thing is that there is also an office of the bear minister.

Kumamoto bear is a typical net red, city signs, everywhere, from the East Asian circle looks bigger than kitty Mickey Mouse or something, in fact, the bottom is still very thin, see this minister's office is a portrait, performance, area, facilities, Including the sale of things and the like are the standard experience of net red culture, most children have no love for this, belonging to adults' revelry, in addition, want to see the minister pay attention to check the schedule in advance.

Do you love Kumamon? Kumamon is so adorable, smart and friendly. Before visiting Kumamon Square, I did not have special feelings, however, after visiting the store, there are so many display and a video showing Kumamon dailylife! Souvenirs of different kind and Kumamon noodles and snacks can be found here !

The main thing to see here is the performance of Kumamon, Minister of Xiongben. Otherwise, it's just a small shop selling around, and there are not many kinds. There are also many sales at Xiongben JR Station. The minister's office is not very noticeable. After getting off the city electricity, he goes to the opposite building (there is no sign at the entrance of the building, which looks like a general office building and almost dares not enter). Go straight into the door, and on the left is the minister's office. Performances are not available every day. You have to go to the official website to check the schedule. Be sure to enter at least half an hour in advance. No one will be allowed in when the space is limited. I arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule to barely catch up with the last few releases. The performance lasted half an hour. It was lovely. They will also interact with children sitting in the front row.

The performance began at 3 o'clock. I arrived at 1:30. I took pictures in the office first and then. Buy some souvenirs. The souvenirs here are made in Japan, while most of the JR stations are made in China, but there are many kinds of souvenirs. Then sit down and wait for the minister.

Kumamoto JR Station takes the tram to the waterway station and cross the road. When you walk into the mall, you can see the official website of the minister on the performance time, but you have to turn over the wall to see the google calendar above. On weekends, there are usually two 11 o'clock and 15 o'clock. On weekdays, I went to the 11 o'clock venue. At 10:20, the stage inside is very small. At the same time, there are souvenir shops and ministerial offices. There are not many souvenirs that can be stamped. It is more attractive to postcards. There are about a dozen kinds of stamps that just bought and stamped. You can go to the convenience store to sell. Sending 70 yen to Japan (such as China) is enough. After 10:30, the staff will suggest that you stay inside and go out to get a sign. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the performance at 11 o'clock when the people are full. The minister will first interact with you outside. Then enter the stage and the staff to have a small interactive performance for only 10 minutes, then you will queue up to enter the ministerial room to shake hands with everyone, hug the performance can take pictures, but the handshake hug link can not take pictures. Most of the guests are Japanese and Chinese. If you like the minister, it is still very. It is worth coming. I don’t know the minister’s suggestion to go to Station B to search for the minister’s documentary. The minister is really dedicated to PS: If you want to buy the minister’s surroundings, there is a commodity store on the 6th floor of the building. There are also many surrounding fat markets opposite Kumamoto JR Station.
