I am Kumamon, not the Formosan black bear.

#SeptemberDestinations2025 Kumamoto has suddenly become popular again after a major tech company established a factory there! Here's a look at some of the fun things to do in Kumamoto. In downtown Kumamoto, you'll find must-see attractions like Kumamoto Castle, Sakuranobabajo Castle, and Suizenji Jojuen Garden. Further afield, the Aso area boasts natural wonders like the Aso Nakadake crater, Kusasenri, and the renowned Kurokawa Onsen. Kumamoto Castle, damaged by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, has since undergone a long-term restoration. The castle tower reopened to the public in 2021, but the complete restoration of the entire castle complex is expected to last until 2052. Suizenji Jojuen Garden is Kumamoto City's most iconic Japanese garden, offering stunning views in every season. Sakuranobabajo Castle resembles a small, cultural and creative district encompassing historic buildings, and weekend performances are sometimes held for visitors to enjoy.

Exploring Kyushu was an absolute blast—think next-level city vibes, nature escapes, and, yes, a must-try special disco massage experience you seriously can't miss! 🌙💆♀️ Here are the top spots to hit up for an epic Kyushu adventure: 1. Fukuoka - Late nights, vibrant streets, and some truly unique wellness stops. Definitely check out the special disco massage parlors (look for options around Nakasu area, Fukuoka), where you get post-party relaxation and actual disco beats—open late, just make sure to book ahead! 2. Beppu - Famous for hot springs and steamy onsen baths. The Hells of Beppu ('Jigoku Meguri'), open daily from 8:00–17:00, are wild volcanic phenomena you won’t see elsewhere. Address: Kannawa, Beppu-shi, Oita Prefecture. 3. Kumamoto - Marvel at Kumamoto Castle (open 9:00–17:00, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto-shi), and swing by Suizenji Garden for a peaceful walk and killer views. Getting Around: Use the Kyushu Rail Pass for unlimited train travel—it saves cash and time. Local city buses are simple with prepaid transit cards (get one at any major train station). Foodies Alert: Try Hakata ramen in Fukuoka (Ichiran, Tenjin area) and fresh seafood at Yanagibashi Rengo Market! For snacks, nab some yuzu kosho or spicy mentaiko. Money & Tips: Most places take credit cards, but grab some cash for small shops or massage parlors. Weather varies—pack layers (rain jacket for Beppu’s misty vibe is clutch!). Whether you’re after nightlife, nature, or quirky self-care, Kyushu totally delivers. #KyushuTrip #JapanTravel #FukuokaNights #OnsenLife #FoodieFinds
