    Kumamoto Pref. Hitoyoshishi Fumotomachi 18-4
    Located on the site of Hitoyoshi Castle, this museum has displays on the construction and history of the castle, including the 12-meter long Kuma Ezu diagram. A reconstructed stone cellar gives you a chance to see the masonry of that period. These are quite rare in Japan. They also have facilities for meetings and trainings, and locals use it as a place to study.

    人吉城跡は、天守閣などの建物はほとんど残っていません。代わりに、こちらの歴史館で見たり学んだらすることができます。土日には、歴史館近くにある門櫓という横長の建物も見学できます。

  • MINAMATA DISEASE MUNICIPAL MUSEUM
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kumamoto Pref. Minamatashi Myoujinchou 53
    "This museum is located in Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and was built to keep Minamata disease, considered as one of the earliest pollution problems in Japan, from fading away. The history of the outbreak of Minamata disease is explained through movies and panels, and valuable materials are also displayed. Visitors can also listen to ""kataribe (storyteller) lectures"" from Minamata disease patients and their families by appointment, making many tourists from Japan and abroad visit this museum."

    Kumamoto Ashikita-gun Ashikitamachi Tanoura 788

    高速道路を田浦で降りてすぐ、道の駅たのうらを過ぎて、民家の並びを分け入って行くと突如大きな塀の家が見えてきます。ここが国登録有形文化財文化財の藤崎家住宅、いわゆる「赤松館」です。この赤松館はボランティアの方で運営されていて、毎週土・日・月しか開館できないそうです。そんな中、なんと受付の方が案内してくれるということで、ありがたくお願いしました。 この赤松館、「今日の料理」などで知られる著名な料理家...

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.
