A large-scale exhibition of Anpanman's creator, Yanase Takashi (1919-2013). Yanase, who was a manga artist, poet, picture book author, illustrator, designer, editor, and other diverse artists, was also an entertainer of the highest order. His greatest joy in life was "making people happy."
Yanase, who endured harsh wartime experiences, parting ways with his family, and meeting various people, continued to ask himself "Why was I born and what do I live for?" He arrived at the image of a hero who, even if it was uncool, could give a piece of bread, or "anpan," to someone who was truly in need.
This exhibition commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Yanase Takashi Memorial Museum Anpanman Museum in 2026, and will unravel his works on the themes of "Takashi Yanase Anatomy," "Manga," "Poetry," "Picture Books/Yanase Fairy Tales," and "Anpanman," focusing on approximately 200 original drawings.

Suizenji Jojuen Garden

Shuiqian Temple Chengqu Garden is also a place where Kumamoto can go shopping. It takes ten or twenty minutes to take a car in the city. The whole garden is still very design. There is a very beautiful lake in the middle. There are many fat fish in it. If you like history, go shopping for a while. If it is normal, it is enough to go shopping for up to an hour and a half. If the weather is good, it will still be quite a film.

It is a sightseeing train from Kumamoto Station to Triangle Station. The calm atmosphere is black with gold-stained appearance, carved with angel glass, wooden ceilings with gold logo, classical patterned fluff cover, and colorful ice chip glass everywhere.

Next to Kumamoto City is the Sakurajima Farm. The place is not big. In fact, it is a small market. There are food and shopping. There are still a lot of people. You can find a place to sit down and eat. If you don&rsquo;t eat, you can go shopping in 20 minutes. It&rsquo;s not a place to come. But because it is next to Kumamoto City, it is not bad to come over and stroll around.
