    "The park, also known as ""Martyrdom Park,"" is located about 15 minutes by car from Amakusa Airport and is home to the ""Thousand Martyrs Mound"" and the Amakusa Christian Museum, both built in 1956 to commemorate the Christian martyrs. The mounds were originally scattered in Funanoo-cho, Kameba-cho, and Komatsubara-cho, but were relocated and enshrined in their current form. 150 cherry trees are planted in the park, which attracts many visitors in the spring."

    "A park on the 869-meter summit of Mt. Yayama. Known as the ""Little Fuji of Higo,"" the view from this lovely mountain takes in the peaks of Shimabara, Aso, and Gokanosho. As there is little to obstruct the view, the night view of Yatsushiro and Kumamoto is another highlight. On clear nights, you can enjoy stargazing while lying on the lawn. The park has slides, swings, and a playscape. Toilets are available. This park with a beautiful promenade is crowded with families on weekends."

    一生懸命山登りして、いちもくさんに景色を眺望をしたいと思ったが、山の木々があまりにも繁ており、町の風景がほとんど見れなかった。

    山登りです。階段なので足元は安全ですが、息は上がります。着いた〜と思ったらトイレでまだその先がありました。展望台から見る景色は素晴らしかったです。ここへ訪れたら是非上からの崎津集落も見てほしいです。

Kumamoto Areas

around-area-map

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
