Kumamoto Adventure: Suizenji Garden, Luffy Statue & Soba! π―π΅
Join me on a magical journey through Kumamoto, Japan, just after New Year’s! πΈβ¨
We start at the serene Suizenji Jojuen Garden during Hatsumode (New Year’s shrine visit), where I meet a kind local working to bring Japanese gardens to the UK. Watch as I get a love-themed Omikuji (fortune slip) and soak in the zen vibes of koi fish, scenic hills, and traditional tea moments.
Next, we dive into the One Piece universe with a visit to the legendary Luffy Statue. I share the touching story behind the statues, Eiichiro Odaβs heartfelt donation after the 2016 earthquake, and compare my handprint to his! I also explore the exclusive One Piece Store for some must-see merch.
Finally, I wrap up with a delicious meal of soba, ebi fry, and onigiri, sharing the New Year’s tradition of eating soba for long life and good luck.
