2nd assignment★Kumamoto★







There is a lot of the sights in Kumamoto. Many people actually come to Kumamoto to see the sights from other prefecture or foreign country. You also have ever seen students who are on a school trip, foreigners, or any other tourist, I think. At first, I introduce the famous places simply. The most famous places for sightseeing in Kumamoto are Kumamoto castle and Aso(Mt. Aso). In Kumamoto castle, you can go into of the castle. Also you'll be able to learn history of Kumamoto. In Aso, Mt. Aso has a wonderful sight. And you can ride there. Amakusa is good place for sightseeing, too. Watching dolphin is popular! Kumamoto is famous for horse rare meat and mustard lotus root, etc. A guidebook says Agura which is one of restaurant in Kumamoto has good horse meat dishes. There is the restaurant near Shimo-tori. Agura is good restaurant for people who have never eaten horse meat, I think. In Kumamoto, there is also a lot of events for sightseeing. Hinokuni festival, Yamaga garden lantern festival and The national fireworks festival in Yatsushiro...etc.

I've ever been to Aso on a school trip and family trip. "What a fine sight the mountain is!", I thought then. And air was clear very much! I went to Aso farm land and got some souvenirs from Aso, too. Aso is really wonderful place! Last year, I went to Kumamoto castle for sightseeing with an American girl, Sarah. We went into of the castle for the first time. There were brochures and signboards written in English, too. So Sarah could enjoy and learn the history of Kumamoto. A worker at Kumamoto castle said then," Not only Japanese but also many foreigners visit Kumamoto castle". I surprised that many foreigners were interested in Kumamoto castle. About six years ago, I went to Amakusa to watch dolphins with my cousin who lived in another prefecture. We enjoyed very much. She lived in city, so Amakusa's nature seemed to impress itself on her memory. She said then," I'd like to go to Amakusa again." I really recomend Kumamoto castle, Aso and Amakusa. Why don't you go to there with foreigners or people who live in another prefecture? It's good chance for them to know about Kumamoto more, I think.

There are really many great places for sightseeing in Kumamoto. And I have not been to all of them. Someday, I'd like to visit more the sights of Kumamoto. I especially want to go to famous and popular hot springs now. For example, Kurosawa hot springs is famous very much. Also I hope to show foreigners the places of interest in Kumamoto. Kumamoto is interesting place!!
