    Kumamoto Pref. Araoshi Haramanda 200-2
    This coal pit supported Japan’s industrial revolution and today is a registered World Heritage Site. The mine’s solemn brick structures, entrance to the underground areas, and machine room which still houses massive machinery are impressive sights. Visitors can also spend a fun time listening to the experiences of men who actually worked in the mine.

    There are hourly guided tours in Japanese if you are able to understand Japanese. If my understanding is correct, some used to work at the mine before it closed. The guides are a wealth of...

    Kumamoto Pref. Kumagunmizukamimura Yuyama
    "Ichifusa Dam was built in 1960 in Mizukami Village, Kuma County, Kumamoto Prefecture. Yoshino cherries were planted around the dam lake when the dam was built, and today the lakeshore is a renowned destination for viewing cherry blossoms in spring. The area's ""10 thousand"" cherries sprawl along the shore for 14 kilometers, and visitors can appreciate their beautiful blossoms. A cherry blossom festival is also held here during the season, and a portion of the trees are lit up at night to delight visitors."

    Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture
    This popular cherry blossom viewing spot is approximately 20 minutes by car from Tsunagi Interchange. Its rows of cherry trees stretch for five kilometers along the Minamata Cherry Line on the Yunoko Coast. The area gets packed with visitors who come to see the blossoms of its nearly 300 Yoshino cherry trees when they're in full bloom from late March to early April. The Yunoko Onsen Sakura Festival takes place during this period, when they run 30-minute rides on a flower-viewing tour boat (reservations required), festival stalls spring up along the road selling fare like sweet dango dumplings, and visitors sip sakura-cha, tea laced with cherry petals.

  • Yamae Onsen and Yamae Village's Mae and Yamada District Firefly-Viewing Spots
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Kuma-gun Yamaemura
    The Mae and Yamada districts of Yamae Village are a 15-minute drive from the Hitoyoshi Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway; encircled by lush natural beauty, they are a famous destination for firefly watching. Fireflies can particularly be seen when in season flying everywhere near the section of the pure Mae River close to the Yamae Onsen Health Center. In most years, fireflies can be seen from mid- to late May. The exact period the fireflies can be seen differs upstream and downstream, making it possible to see fireflies in the area for a relatively long period of time. Thanks to its location close to the Yamae Onsen Health Center bathhouse, you can also enjoy a relaxing hot spring soak until the fireflies start coming out.

    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Amakusamachi Shimodaminami , Takahamakita
    Jusanbustu Park at the tip of the cape is a superb viewpoint overlooking Myokenura Coast to the north and Shiratsuru Beach to the south. Selected as one of the Japan Sunset Best 100, it's a well-known spot for watching Shiratsuru Beach turn red as the sun goes down. The name comes from the Jusanbutsu Temple with ties to the Jusanbutsu ceremonies popularized during the Muromachi period. The park also has a monument engraved with tanka poems by Takkan Yosano and his wife Akiko.

    十割そばを頂いたが、歯ごたえがあるが旨い。量も多く大盛りを頼んだら驚いた。ややツユが薄く感じるのは、好みの分かれるところだろう。阿蘇を見ながら食べられる窓際がお勧め。

    ドライブ途中で立ち寄りました。ちょっとした道の駅より品揃えの多い直売所でした。食事処もありました。店にはいったところに巨大スイカを置いていました。3号線沿いだと思うので、前にも車で通ったことがあると思うのですが、気がつきませんでした。立ちより場所がひとつできました。

    こちらは普通の小さな物産館ですが、地元産に拘った蕎麦をメインにした食事処があります。 地元新聞に熊本県知事も太鼓判と言う様な記事を見て訪れましたが、蕎麦の美味しさは勿論、別売りのおにぎりの美味しさに驚きました。 以来、熊本市内の拙宅から１時間３０分程度掛けて時々訪れています。 蕎麦の味は人夫々の評価があるかも知れませんが、お米の味は絶対にお勧めです。 私は毎回、食後にもおにぎりをテイクアウトします...

Kumamoto Areas

around-area-map

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
