Things to do in Kumamoto, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best History Museums
December 15, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee
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.

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.
