We moved up to Kumamoto for sightseeing. Kumamoto was once governed by many famous histrical charactors, and there is "Kumamoto catsle" which is counted among the most beautiful three catsle in Japan. Not only its appearance, recently restored interior was also amazingly magnificent.

Of course, we cannot stop finding local delicious foods here, too, where famous of raw horse meat (photo), and musterd lotus root. Needless to say, they were very delicious!!

After trottering downtown, we drove ahead to Kurokawa, hidden scenic spa spot inland Kumamoto. On the way, we stopped at Aso mountain, which is famous as caldera volcano.Unfortunately, it started raining, and we can hardly see the crator, but we enjoyed fresh milk icecream.
