    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 Areas

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.
