The moment I saw Yachiyoza after walking through the quiet streets, I could immediately feel its rich sense of history. I really love places like this—peaceful, yet full of character and depth.
At first, you might think, "It’s just an old theater," but the building has been beautifully restored and preserved. It’s gorgeous and spotless, and the ceiling paintings are truly spectacular!
The backstage tour route is also very well organized. This is definitely a historical spot worth visiting.

Dolphin Watching Reservation Center (Amakusa City, Kumamoto)
A dolphin-watching tour set in the waters of Amakusa Itsuwa, home to around 150 wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.
There’s a realistic dolphin statue by the entrance with the day’s date on it, so you can take a one-of-a-kind souvenir photo.
We were lucky to have great weather. The waves were calm, and the boat ride out was very smooth. The clear seawater sparkled like crystal in the sunlight. There are 200 to 300 wild bottlenose dolphins living here, and the captain expertly guided us to them, so there was hardly any worry about missing out.
Seeing so many dolphins swimming and jumping up close with my own eyes was incredibly exciting and moving! Watching their graceful movements underwater and hearing the vivid, real sound of their blows made it more than just a chance to see cute animals. It also gave me a deeper appreciation for the beauty of our planet and the importance of cherishing it. -

Nagabeta Kaishoro
The row of utility poles standing in the sea creates a mysterious and almost otherworldly sight, making it one of Kumamoto Prefecture’s most famous photo spots on social media today.
The scenery is absolutely beautiful~ If you love taking photos, you’ll definitely get lots of gorgeous shots here.
When I went this time, it happened to be low tide, so it was a bit of a shame I didn’t get to see the road submerged in the water. But the road stretching off into the distance was still a beautiful sight, and I also saw lots of cute little crabs on the tidal flats. If you play Pikmin, you can trade flower petals for a postcard! The Pikmin postcard here is super pretty! -
