For the long weekend, I decided to spend a day in Kumamoto city, I stayed with my former neighbor Gatchan, who some people may recall from my super early vlogs (I think I took most of them down now..) I lived in Kumamoto from 2006-2007, and during that time, Kumamoto Castle was under construction, so although I visited it with Cam (in another video you may or may not recall) I wasn't able to fully have the KUMAMOTO CASTLE EXPERIENCE until we made the trip this weekend..

Check out my links - blog: journeytodaeast.blogspot.com | twitter twitter.com | facebook: www.facebook.com From around the beginning/middle of June until the middle/end of July is Rainy Season (Tsuyu) in Japan. Like the name suggests this is the time of the year where it rains the most and the heaviest. Last night it rained very heavily in the Aso region which caused floods and landslides around some parts of Kumamoto Prefecture and some other areas in Kyushu. The Shirakawa river which runs through Kumamoto City had swelled and unfortunately washed away a few people houses and took their lives. I decided to make a video showing you how much the river had swelled and also some of the debris which had been left around. I have been told that the rain could once again be heavy this evening and could continue for the next couple of days. How the Shirakawa River usually looks: youtu.be Tsuyu: en.wikipedia.org

Watched sashimi being prepared. As I say in the video, maguro, or tuna, is one of the most popular fish for sashimi and sushi. Prices have risen in recent years because of over fishing. A lot of people are upset, but that's because most people don't think about the effect humanity has on the global ecological system. Japan always has commercial and advertisements about being "Earth friendly" and you can earn "eco-points" for buying energy efficient appliances, but you go near the traditions that deal with food and you run into a wall. I believe that Japan can keep eating tuna, but I think the prices rising is a good thing, as it will help control the consumption levels.

History[link]
Kato Kiyomasa, a contemporary of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was made daimyo of half of the (old) administrative region of Higo in 1588. After that, Kiyomasa built Kumamoto Castle. Due to its many innovative defensive designs, Kumamoto Castle was considered impregnable, and Kiyomasa enjoyed a reputation as one of the finest castle-builders in Japanese history. After Kiyomasa died in 1611, his son, Tadahiro, succeeded him, but Tadahiro was removed by Tokugawa Iemitsu in 1632, replacing him with the Hosokawa clan. Former Prime Minister of Japan Hosokawa Morihiro is a direct descendant of the Hosokawa clan of Kumamoto. Another famous politician, former president of Peru Alberto Fujimori, also has roots in Kumamoto; Fujimori's parents emigrated from Kumamoto to Peru early in the 20th century.

Mergers[link]
- On February 1, 1991 the towns of Akita, Kawachi, Tenmei and Hokubu, all from Hōtaku District, were merged into Kumamoto.
- On October 6, 2008 the town of Tomiai, from Shimomashiki District, was merged into Kumamoto.

Landmarks[link]
The city's most famous landmark is Kumamoto Castle, a large and, in its day, extremely well fortified Japanese castle. The donjon (castle central keep) is a concrete reconstruction built in the 1970s, but several ancillary wooden buildings remain of the original castle, which was assaulted during the Satsuma Rebellion and sacked and burned after a 53-day siege. It was during this time that the tradition of eating basashi (raw horse meat) originated. Basashi remains popular in Kumamoto and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in Japan, though these days it is usually considered a delicacy.
Within the outer walls of Kumamoto Castle is the Hosokawa Gyobu-tei, the former residence of the Higo daimyo. This traditional wooden mansion has a fine Japanese garden located on its grounds.
Miyamoto Musashi lived the last part of his life in Kumamoto. His tomb and the cave where he resided during his final years (known as Reigando, or "spirit rock cave") is situated close by. He penned the famous Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings) whilst living here.
Kumamoto is also home to Suizen-ji Jōju-en, a formal garden neighboring Suizenji Temple approximately 3 kilometers southeast of Kumamoto Castle.
Suizenji Park is also home to the Suizenji Municipal Stadium, where the city's football team, Roasso Kumamoto used to play regularly, but nowadays they use the larger KKWing Stadium in Higashi Ward.
The downtown area has a commercial district centred around two shopping arcades, the Shimotori and Kamitori, which extend for several city blocks. The main department stores are located here along with a vast number of smaller retailers, restaurants and bars. Many local festivals are held in or near the arcades.
Cultural venues include the Kumamoto Prefectural Museum of Art and Kumamoto Prefectural Theater.

Transport[link]
Local public transport is provided by the Kumamoto City Transportation Bureau. Trams run to a few suburbs near the downtown area. A large bus terminus, called the Kotsu Centre, provides access to both local and intercity destinations. JR Kumamoto station provides rail links to Japan's extensive rail network. On March 12, 2011, work on the shinkansen (high-speed bullet train) network was completed, establishing a direct high-speed rail link to Tokyo via Fukuoka's Hakata terminus. Several local taxi companies serve the Kumamoto metropolitan area and are the only 24-hour public transport in the city.
Kumamoto Airport is located in nearby Mashiki.
