Kumamoto

Kumamoto has lots of things to do, to see and to eat. I will give some example and explain. I really like to eat foods especially Kumamoto’s local dishes. And also, I like drive to Mt. Aso. There are lots of beautiful view and nice hot springs. In Kumamoto, there are old castle about 400years ago, people build.
First of all, Kumamoto has delicious local foods. Basashi is one of this. This is row hose meat. Other prefecture doesn’t eat row hose meat only Kumamoto does. It eats with fleshed sliced onion, fleshed grinded ginger or fleshed grinded garlic. That is because Kumamoto people started to eat row hose meat, still we are doing parade with hose ones a year that call “Fujisakigu aki no taisai” long time ago, after this parade, people killed hose and ate these hose meat. Many visitors, they try once when come to Kumamoto. And also, karashirennkon is Kumamoto’s local food. This is stuff with mustard into lotus root’s hole and after that, fried out. I love this with beer.
Second, about Mt. Aso. Mt. Aso has the biggest caldera in the world. On sunny day, go to drive, you will see very beautiful view from top of the mountain and also, you will see Japanese pastoral landscape. Mt. Aso is still an active volcano. Crater is one of tourist attraction on Mt. Aso. In crater, visiting many people from many country. There lots of hot spring in Mt. Aso, too. The people of a prefecture loves onsen for relaxing take tiredness of job or something in onsen.
Third, Most popular Kumamoto’s tourist attraction is Kumamoto Castle. There are in downtown. Kumamoto castle is one of biggest castle in Japan. Osaka, Nagoya and Kumamoto. This year, Kumamoto Castle became 400 year from build. So, many events taking place in castle.
In conclusion, I just explain 3things of Kumamoto but, more things to do, to eat and to see, we have. Kumamoto is not so big city but also not so small city. We have lots of delicious foods, beautiful mountain, nice hot springs, old cool castle, ocean, lots of nature… I can not count things about Kumamoto.
