The Hikuni Matsuri is a summer festival for visitors to central Kumamoto. After an opening event on the first day, the shopping streets in central Kumamoto are lined with events and food stalls for visitors of all ages to enjoy over two days. On the second day, you can take part in the main free activity - the Otemoan Dance. Otemoan is a famous Kumamoto folk song that was composed about 80 years ago and is still loved and covered today (even the song heard around Kumamoto Station on the Kyushu Shinkansen is Otemoan). For the main dance on the last day of the festival, they turn part of the tram line into a "pedestrian's paradise" and let the city's residents gather on the streets to dance the Otemoan Dance (there's even a samba version) under the watchful eyes of the majestic Kumamoto Castle.

The environment is good, clean and tidy, antique, that is, the earthquake is almost ten years old, the last time I went to not repaired, this time there is no particularly big progress, the repair is still far away, it is estimated that the repair of the ancient buildings is very difficult, there is no way.

Azu is home to flowers, birds and butterflies, with a unique weather environment. More than 2,500 mm of rain falls on grasslands every year, penetrating into vast lands, becoming a source of water for six first-class rivers, providing water to about 2.3 million people in Kyushu. There are up to 1,500 places in Asu called &quot;name water&quot;. Because the grassland is fertile, the grass grows is suitable for grazing. The milk produced here is also very fresh. This cup of Asu Mountain&#39;s milk is dried.

There are two performances every day, from 2:00 to 2:30 in the afternoon, which is very suitable for parent-child activities. Of course, adults are also very happy. Minister Bear is cute, lively and interactive. Not bad 👍

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.

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.
