KUMAMOTO

I think sightseeing places in Kumamoto are fascinating. I'd like to write about some famous places in Kumamoto.

I think Kumamoto Castle is the most famous place in Kumamoto. Kiyomasa Kato was the first lord of the castle and it was called "impregnable castle". He made many structures against the enemies, for example, there are stone walls called "Musha-gaeshi" which invader cannot climb. "Honmaru Palace" is the most beautiful place and it was restored in 2007. Many people from other prefecture and other countries visit the castle, though the people in Kumamoto don't visit frequently. I've watched the TV program about Kumamoto Castle. It said that the castle is elected one of the greatest castles in Japan.

Aso is one of my favorite places in Kumamoto. Mt. Aso is the most famous place in Aso because it has the biggest caldera in the world. "Aso Farm Land" is a theme park of nature and health and it has tent hotels. I've visited there several times. There are a lot of hotels in Aso and I've used some of the hotels for induction of high school and university. I've also been camping in Aso with my junior high school mates. I like "Cuddly Dominion" which is a zoo in Aso, because I can take a walk with lovely dogs there. I didn't like dogs until I went to there, but I got to like dogs now.

There is beautiful ocean in Amakusa. I've gone dolphin watching there. Dolphins came really close to our ship. I think Amakusa is a historical place and Shiro Amakusa is famous person. He commanded "the War of Shimabara and Amakusa" and there are some statues of him. "Ai-no-Amakusa-mura" is a shop selling products in Amakusa but it has a big statue of Shiro. I've watched it when I went to there in order to cheer my father running marathon. It is called "Pearl-line Marathon" because pearl-kan which is a kind of orange is speciality of Amakusa. My father can get a pearl-kan as a prize of participation and it tastes very nice.

Ueki is not famous place but I live near to Ueki so I want to write about it. Watermelon is speciality of Ueki so you can find many plastic greenhouses to raise it. You can buy it from May but it is a little expensive. I recommend that you should buy it in summer because it is good price and tastes the best then. There are a lot of hot springs in Ueki and they are called "Ueki-Onsen-Gai" and it may be called "Ueki Spa Town" in English. In August, there is a big festival in Ueki and it is called "Hatten-Sai". Many people in Ueki gather the festival so the road is congested with cars. You may think Ueki is the country but I love Ueki.

As you can see, there are a lot of places to go sightseeing, beautiful nature, lovely animals and nice foods in Kumamoto.
