Kumamoto?

[jennyo]

Hello, I have just found out that I am going to be travelling to Kumamoto on Kyushu Island. I was just wondering if anyone may have lived here/ are travelling there soon? Is it a nice area? Prices? etiquette? etc. I would appreciate any sort of information. Cheers

Yes Kumamoto is very nice area, there are many places that would be worth visiting. Kumamoto-Jyo(castle), Suizenji Kouen(park), and Aso-zan(active volcano) with Kusasenri(prairie around Aso-zan).

My X came from it, a small town named Yatsushiro famous for those yummy melons.

The local people are super friendly, very casual and easy going.

I haven't lived their per say, except at my X's parents house, just visitng, of which we would drive from Kyoto and have breaks along the way..

But, it is a nice place.. the girls are rumoured to have VERY strong minds

Visit Kumamoto castle, and the grave of Miyamoto Musashi. Those are generally the two main things Kumamoto is famous for.

I visited Kumamoto castle and Suizenji park. Kumamoto is a great place and the people are pretty friendly too (I can say this about most of Kyushu). I used the trams to get around

After visi8tng castles in the UK and Japan, I found Kumamoto castle to be a rather boring one.
