In this section, I would like to share about 2 sightseeing places which apparently like the places that you have to visit if you are in Kumamoto city.
Kumamoto castle is located in the city center, situated near to torichosuchi area (shophing center district) and near to Kumamoto central bus terminal (Sakura matchi bus terminal). Being one of the prettiest castle in Japan, Kumamoto castle can be seen vividly from kumamoto main road. It is easy to be access by buses (city bus, tourist bus), trem and even if you stay naround Kumamoto city, you can talk a walk or ride a bicycle. Kumamoto castle has large area for sightseeing. there is also one road which is beautifull with sakura during spring dear to Kumamoto castle. There are also several shrine and temple near by Kumamoto castle, and if you visit this place around new year, you will see many new year celebration decoration in the shrine nearby. Due to devastated earthquake at 2016, the reconstruction of Kumamoto castle is being still conducted when i visited this place. Eventhough under construction, we can still see the beautiful castle from the permitted area near to the main castle. There is no entrance fee  to enter Kumamoto castle. Near to the maingate , we can see many souvenir shop selling unique Kumamoto-merchandise. In addition, we can try many foods as well as they sell some of Kumamoto signature food and snacks.

 Another iconic place that we can visit in Kumamoto city is Suizenji park. A japanese-typical garden is very beautiful and calm. Situated in the middle of city, this park also can be easily access by bus or tram. Some people even come to this beautiful garden using Kimono and take picture in every corner of this garden. There is fish pool with clear water and we can see many fish inside. There is also typical Japanese bridge, mini fushimi-inari, shrine,a green an beautiful landscape, some Japanese fighter statue and some japanese-style home/restaurant. The entrance fee is 400 yen.

As a student or someone who temporary visiting one place, the second hand store could be another option for you to find something (like electronic devices such as iron, hair dryer, winter coat?) that you need in the reasonable price. The good thing in Japan is, the secondhand stuffs are well maintained and still looks good. The price could be very much more cheaper than the new one with the quality is till good.  I think in every city in japan, it is quite common to find the second hand-stores. I got an idea to find the second store from googling. In the first search, I found Hard off Gakusei store (Kumamoto branch) as the second-hand shop. On the clear sunny day, I was by-cycling with the guide from the google map.
