What to do and see in Kumamoto, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
Proud Kumamoto Castle is considered one of the most important of its kind. Visitors will be awed as they explore its stone curves, array of turrets, and displays of armor, weapons, and maps. Suizenji Jojuen Garden is downright cinematic, a playground of slopes and dips and trees, in a million shades of green. Cherry blossom season is a lovely time to visit.

We spent an afternoon with an English guide from the Kumamoto SGG Club—-Mieko Okada who was our personal guide at the Kumamoto Castle & to the Suizenji Jojuen Gardens. If you go to Kumamoto these two sights should be at the top of your list of things to see & places to go. Hopefully in the next few months more of the reconstruction will allow for an actual tour of the castle, but the grounds, walls, and views were amazing none the less.

We took the ferry on Thur morning at 11:10. However, due to fog, it was cancelled. We had to wait for the next ferry at 1pm. We never knew that there is so much fog at the Ferry pier until we see it for ourselves. Nevertheless, it was no fault of the ferry operators as the weather here is unpredictable. Just be careful when you plan your trip and always have contingency plans. As for us, we waited for the next one at 1pm, and the fog cleared by then, and off we went...Ferry trip was enjoyable and very relaxing too. Highly recommended.

This shrine is quite a walk from the tram station but it's worth a visit for a nearer view of Kumamoto castle.

If you don't have much time in Kumamoto and have a few hours to kill, this is the place for you. Lots of eateries and souvenirs. Great for families with older people and younger kids as it is traffic-free and safe to just wander within the compounds of the place without worries of getting lost.

You will go bananas if you are a fan of this lovely figure. Being the office of this city’s most iconic thing, it is the place that suitable for couples and families to go. Many related souvenirs to buy here though the price is quite costly. Really strongly recommended to visit this place at every 3:00pm as there is a performance of kumamon. It attracts people around the world to get here. Definitely a must-go place!!
