Kumamoto City is the capital of Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. The city is most famous for its castle. The Kumamoto Castle was completed in 1607 by Kato Kiyomasa. It was destroyed by fire in 1877 and rebuilt in 1960 but was damaged again by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake. After undergoing repairs, the main tower of the Castle reopened in 2021.
We also visited the beautiful Japanese garden, Suizenji Jojuen. It was built by Lord Hosokawa Tadatoshi in the 17th century as a site for a tea house and a temple. The location was chosen for its natural spring and high-quality water.
