Kumamoto Oysters
Kumamoto is a treasure trove fostered by nature’s blessings such as clean underground water, the Aso mountains, and the Amakusa Sea. Look forward to tasting exceptionally fresh sushi made with seafood caught from Ariake Sea and Amakusa-Nada Sea. Enjoy Izakaya experience at the popular Izakaya, a Japanese-style pub. After some recommended food and drink are served, the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter will explain how people usually spend time at an izakaya the Japanese way.

The slopes are used for cultivating a variety of citrus fruits and from the Orange road you can watch the sun setting over the Ariake sea with the active volcano Mt. Unzen in the distance. The traditional Japanese house he lived in can still be visited, tucked away behind the Tsuruya Department Store which sells high fashion and luxury brand name goods in the city centre. The downtown area has a commercial district centred on two shopping arcades, the Shimotori and Kamitori, which extend for several city blocks.
To the north you will find the smaller cities of Kikuchi and Yamaga, to the south Yatsushiro, Minamata and Hitoyoshi. I was especially interested to learn that 31 percent of stone walls restored in the post-Meiji era came crumbling down while only 10 percent of the original stone walls were damaged. This means that 90 percent of the original samurai stone walls, built over 400 years ago, withstood the 2016 earthquake.
Approaching the tree, I noticed something distinctly red on it. To my surprise, there was a miniature torii gate and behind it a miniature shrine. It is an actual shrine, quite possibly the smallest shrine you might ever come across in Japan. Naturally, this miniature shrine would also have its own torii gate as a torii gate serves the function of protecting the god that resides in the shrine.
The original main tower was destroyed in a fire in the 1800s, and the current tower was reconstructed in 1960 through the funding and building efforts of Kumamoto residents. It is no surprise, then, that this castle keep holds a special place in the locals' hearts. A Japanese turret acted as a storehouse for all kinds of materials and tools, and in times of war, it held and protected weapons such as arrows and firearms.
The Hosokawa Lords of Kumamoto dominated the whole of Kyushu for centuries thanks to the impenetrable fortress of Kumamoto Castle, which is still celebrated as one of the top 3 castles in all Japan. Kumamoto, city and prefectural capital, Kumamoto ken , central Kyushu, Japan. It lies on Shimabara Bay, although the city centre is about 6 miles inland on the Shira River. Miyamoto Musashi lived the last part of his life in Kumamoto.
