Trip Summary

We had chosen to stay over night in Kumamoto to see Kumamoto Castle. After finding the actual entry to the castle area, we then approached it via a big bridge, which is errected to bypass major renovation work that became necessary after an earthquake had caused serious damage to multiple structure at and around the historc castle. It was possible, though, to enter the castle and to make a tour through it (with many, many others!). Eventually, we just made it back in an attempt to limit our time in the substantial heat of the day.
