  • Matsushita Kamaboko Shop
    Shopping
    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi
    "A long-established kamaboko fish cake store with an over 90-year history. They still make superb kamaboko with carefully selected seasonings and other natural ingredients. Their tender ""Tenryo"" kamaboko won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize at the National Kamaboko Product Fair. They keep seasonings to a minimum to showcase the fish's inherent flavor. If you eat it just slightly warmed, the flavor and texture will be even better."

  • Gion Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Funenoomachi
    "The official name is the ""Gionbashi Fusekizo Kinenhi."" It's called Gion Bridge because of its location in front of Gion-jinja Shrine. The bridge's simple design features stone columns and triangular streamlined piers to aid the flow of water. Its multi-pier design is rarely found in Japan. 28.6 meters long and about 3.3 meters wide, it is one of the largest stone girder bridges in the country. The bridge was also the site of the largest battle of the Amakusa Shimabara Rebellion. As some of the stonework has fallen off, it is currently impassable."

    海鮮館で資料室に立ち寄ったあと、2階のデッキから港やハイヤ大橋をしばし眺めてボーッとしたひとときを過ごしました。丁度長島行きのフェリーの出航時間も重なり、船を見たり、橋を見たり、旅に来て良かったを実感する時間が過ごせました。天草にいると熊本から陸続きでも来られる為、本土といるのと変わらない感覚ですが、牛深あたりの景色や時間の過ぎ方は正に島のそれです。 余談ですが、鹿児島と長崎はだいぶ離れている感じ...

    天草の「サンセットライン」というのは、天草最大の島である天草下島の西海岸を走る道のことでした。私たちがここを通ったのはちょうどお昼頃でしたから、夕日を見たわけではありませんが、美しい海岸線をたっぷりと味わうことができました。 鬼海ヶ浦や妙見浦、十三仏公園など、素晴らしい景色が見られる展望所がところどころにありました。それらの展望所は、当然ですが海に向いています。海を眺めると、まっすぐ前が西に当...

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.
