The annual festival of Fujisaki Hachimangu Shrine has a history of more than 1,000 years, and has been known as the largest annual festival in Higo (Kumamoto) since ancient times. The festival originated from the "Hojo-kai", but it is still affectionately called "Zuibyou" by people. 
It is called Hojo-kai because before the Meiji era, when the decree on the separation of Shinto and Buddhism was promulgated and Buddhist activities were temporarily abolished, the annual festival of Fujisaki Hachimangu Shrine was also called Hojo-kai, and now only this name is retained. 
The annual routine festival includes the "First Day Festival", "Second Day Festival", "Offering Ceremony", "Shinkoshiki" and "Offering Ceremony", which lasts for five days and five nights, and traditional Shinto rituals and festivals with a long history are held. In addition, various activities such as tea ceremony, waka, haiku, flower offering, Shinmachi lion floats, town floats, children's portable shrines, sacred horses, and decorated horses are held in the shrine.

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.
