Still can’t believe your channel has so few views. Please keep going, you are just undiscovered. Thanks again for such great footage and narration.

I was impressed by the high quality of the video. It has more detail than the travel programs on TV, so I think it will be very useful for people traveling to Kumamoto😊

Trivial for Kumamoto: did you know the tap water in Kumamoto are all ground water, and they have high mineral properties, so you can say the tap water are mineral water. These ground water are basically rainwater collected from Aso area, and slowly filtered sipping into the ground, it was said say it took almost 20 years old for this process, from rain water to mineral water tap for kumamoto.
Source: initially heard this from the local during my visit, went to google and it is true :O, amazing

I was in the same guest house. This one is insane. The owner makes the bamboo lamps which can be also seen at the castle. Hope you enjoyed the time as I did. :)

Did you have to book your limited express train tickets in advance? I hear mixed things about needing advance reservations for the limited express trains. Thanks!
