Things to do in Kumamoto, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Art Museums

March 4, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

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.

Shimada Museum of Arts

Reviewed By GroovyM - Kobe, Japan

There is an impressive collection of artifacts from Shimada personal collection that he gathered over his life time. It is a good collection of helmets and some weapons. There are explanations in Japanese and English. My visit was very worthwhile and easy to reach by taxi or B-line tram with a short walk. Parking is available for ~8 cars if you drive here.
