About Kumamoto
Kumamoto, located on the island of Kyushu in Japan, is a city rich in history and natural beauty. Known for its iconic Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's most impressive and historically significant castles, the city offers a glimpse into the country's feudal past. The castle, originally built in the early 17th century, has been meticulously restored and is a symbol of resilience, especially after the 2016 earthquakes that caused significant damage. Beyond the castle, Kumamoto is home to Suizenji Jojuen, a traditional Japanese garden that replicates the 53 post stations of the Tokaido, the road connecting Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo period. The city is also a gateway to the stunning natural landscapes of Aso-Kuju National Park, where Mount Aso, one of the world's largest active volcanoes, offers breathtaking views and hiking opportunities. Kumamoto's culinary scene is equally enticing, with local specialties like basashi (horse sashimi) and tonkotsu ramen. The city's blend of historical sites, natural wonders, and cultural experiences make it a captivating destination for travelers seeking to explore the heart of Kyushu.
