    This museum in Tabaruzaka Park has exhibits related to the Satsuma Rebellion, Japan's last civil war, including historical documents, guns and bullets from the period, and more. Hakuaisha, the antecedent to the Japanese Red Cross Society also got its start here. There's also an exhibit which realistically recreates the feel of the battle through video and sound.

    熊本市の北部に、西南戦争の激戦地だった田原坂があります。田原坂を含む丘陵地帯は、田原坂公園として整備されていました。公園の駐車場から少し登っていくと、公園の一番高い場所に熊本市田原坂西南戦争史料館がありました。 西南戦争では、17昼夜にわたる戦闘が、田原坂で繰り広げられました。館内には、その様子を、映像やジオラマなどでリアルに再現していたり、実際に使われた銃や弾、古文書等も展示されていました。

    This is an observatory deck on the prefectural road Route 339 (Milk Road). Here one can see the five peaks of Mt. Aso and its outer crater rim, and a sea of clouds in the early morning. It’s recommended for a drive break, or to use the shop or 24-hour toilet facilities.

    訪問は１２月の２０日過ぎ、地震によって元々あった展望所が壊れたようで、まだ重機で整地？していた。 杭の内側までは行けるのでギリギリまで行って景色を堪能。 曇り空ではあったが、噴煙もバッチリ！大観峰より噴煙は見やすいかも。

    This unusual Shinto shrine is located in Minamiaso village, Aso County. It was founded to pray for hitting the lottery, and it honors a boulder that was dug up during construction work in 2004. Lots of visitors come to pray for big winnings. People from around the country leave old wallets and purses at a memorial altar.

    南阿蘇の観光名所である「宝来宝来神社」に立ち寄る事に。一部の方にはパワースポットという認識が有られるが、私はパワーがどうだのこうだのではなく、こういう施設をお金をかけてコツコツ増設しながら作り上げているのに、入場料を一切徴収せず何も買わなければ一切無料で済む施設という点が素晴らしいと感心する場所。真っ赤な建物が印象的な神社で、久しぶりに来たが以前より施設が増設されていました。 宝来宝来堂の隣には...

    Kumamoto Pref. Hitoyoshishi Shimoshinmachi 333-1
    "It is located an approximately 10-minute drive from the Hitoyoshi Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. This popular activity lets you descend the Kuma River, one of Japan's three most fast-flowing rivers along with the Mogami River and Fujigawa River, in a wooden boat that the boatman skillfully maneuvers. You can feel the exhilaration of passing through huge rocks you come very close to and rough waves. The approximately 50-minute ""Seiryu course"" from the Hitoyoshi departure dock to the hot spring town of Hitoyoshi is available from March to November. Between December and February, it becomes relaxing boat with kotatsu (tables heated underneath), offering a different way of enjoyment than the rough rafting in the summer."

    Must do activity while in Hitoyoshi. Made reservation at the Hitoyoshi tour information center and enjoyed a very nice tour.

    The former residence of author Natsume Soseki is located next to the Janes Residence on the grounds of the Kumamoto Yogakko School. This is the third house that Soseki lived in while in Kumamoto, and it was moved from the former village of Oe to its current location. It is said to be the departure point for the journey described in his book Grass Pillow (Kusa-makura).

    広くて美しい水前寺成趣園を中央の池の周りを時計回りに一周しました。次に向かったのが、夏目漱石大江旧居です。 その場所は水前寺成趣園のすぐ東隣なんですが、不規則に交わっている狭い道が続く住宅街にあったので、見つけるのにちょっと手間取りました。 板張りの外壁の、いかにも明治の建物でした。内部も見学ができました。畳敷きの和室がいくつかあって、広さも十分な間取りでした。

    This event hall is in Mashiki Town, Kamimashiki County, Kumamoto Prefecture. The first floor consists of a roughly 8,000 square meter exhibition hall, and the second floor has a convention hall, conference rooms, and a restaurant. Their ample parking facilities can accommodate 2,200 vehicles, so it's often the venue for large prefectural events, seminars, and training sessions.

    仕事の発表会で利用した。熊本から空港行きのリムジンバスで行ったが、バス停から大きな道路を横切って会場までアクセスしなければならなかった。会場はゆったりしており、トイレや自販機等の設備も十分に揃っていた。レストランはビュッフェ形式で、おかずも多かったので満足できた。

    Kumamoto Pref. Yatsushiroshi Izumimachi
    Gokanosho is a collective name for a region of five local settlements, and is approximately 60 minutes from the Matsuhashi or Hitoyoshi Interchange of the Kyushu Expressway. This region surrounded by the steep ravines of the Kyushu Central mountain range is said to have been established by the Heike clan after being defeated at the Battle of Danno-ura. Located here is the Heike no Sato, culture and history museum which tells of the settler’s folklore and lifestyles of that period. Also the Kureko Kodai Dance, a National Important Intangible Cultural Property, is performed annually within the Kureko shrine precincts commemorating their settlement on August 15, September 1, and November 3. This region is also an exquisite spot for enjoying autumnal foliage and fresh verdure.

    This large tourist farm in Kita Ward, Kumamoto City offers a variety of seasonal fruits picking including grapes, apples, and strawberries. They also have their own store on-site. Stop by their KICHIJIEN café for some fresh fruit soft serve ice cream. From the farm there's a nice view of the town and the nearby mountains.

    在樱町巴士總站乘搭U21到笹尾站下車步行数分鐘到達，由於巴士楼層有很多路綫及上車位置，而且U21巴士一小時只有一班車，尋找巴士站位置不容易，所以整個旅程連同摘取草莓時需要大半天啊！付了入場費後，農場負責人會分發手套及剪刀，到指定的區域摘取草莓，大部分草莓都是鲜甜的！由於草莓田是在温室的，所以不宜穿厚衣服活動。

    Kumamoto Pref. Asogunogunimachi Kurobuchi
    This is a waterfall which is said to have been made by an eruption which occurred about 90,000 years ago, which also created Aso’s caldera lake. This is a small waterfall with a height of about 10 meters and a width of about 20 meters, but the appearance of sunlight shining through the curtain-like broadly cascading water is extremely beautiful. “Urami no taki” which is enjoying the waterfall by going around to the other side of the fall is also popular. An event is also held in the springtime in which the far side of the waterfall is illuminated.

    Kumamoto Kumamoto-shi Chuo-ku Oe 4-10-33
    This garden is strongly connected to Soho Tokutomi, one of the Meiji period's most celebrated journalists; and his younger brother, novelist Roka Tokutomi. The garden's grounds encompass a memorial museum displaying some 3,000 items which include the brothers' books and personal affects; and a residence where the two spent their youths. The grounds are also the location of the Oe Gijuku, a small private school established by a 20-year-old Soho in 1882 with the aim of creating a democratic school which respected student autonomy. For the next five years until Soho established the Minyusha group in Tokyo, the school taught local children from the standpoint of freedom and civil rights. Today, the school building is closed to the general public due to damage caused by the Kumamoto earthquakes of 2016. The building is scheduled to be reopened to the public in 2020.

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.
