Kumamoto Castle 🏯 | Kumamoto | Japan 🇯🇵

Visit Kumamoto Castle 🏯 | Kumamoto | Japan 🇯🇵

Kumamoto City doesn't only have Kumamon, it also has a castle that is ranked in the Top 5 most beautiful in Japan. And Kumamoto Castle is designed to prevent enemies from entering. The intelligence of the people of Kumamoto is awesome!!!

But, but, but, in 2016, a major earthquake damaged the foundation of the castle (a lot of damage), but now it has been repaired to some extent and there is a plan to repair it until 2037. Because Japan will repair it to be the same as before. Every stone must be in the same place 👍🏻

Traveling from Hakata Station (Fukuoka) Take the Shinkansen to Kumamoto Station. Use the JR Northern Kyushu Pass (3days). Travel time is ~48 minutes. I haven't even had my fill of the view yet. 🤭

From Kumamoto Station to Kumamoto Castle by tram, you can pay for the bus. But we used the Kumamoto City Tram 1 Day Pass for 500 yen, which allowed us to get on and off as many stations as we wanted. It was so worth it!

When we reached the sign, we walked for a while. It was a bit of a climb, but it was enough to make us breathless (it was a good workout). When we reached the entrance, the ticket cost 800 yen. The entrance is an elevated walkway, which is a temporary walkway because the castle base is under repair (what kind of temporary walkway is this? It's super strong, it should last for decades 😝).

The place is really big. It took us a long time to get to the castle. Everyone!!! In the past, it was hard to meet the Shogun. 555+ But the place is really beautiful and grand. Inside the castle, there are exhibits on the history of the castle. It was really fun. 🫶🏻

If anyone is interested, you can come and follow my footsteps. Finally, please press the heart ♥️ to cheer me on 😘
