Most of the food here is pretty similar, and the main visitors seem to be Japanese people. Every now and then, I’d hear some familiar Chinese being spoken.

Kumamoto Castle
Kumamoto Castle is the famous castle built by Kiyomasa Kato in 1607. It was built using the latest, cutting edge techniques at the time and was the setting of many important moments in Japan’s history.
After the earthquake, Kumamoto Castle was badly damaged. It's slowly being restored bit by bit. I hope it can return to its original state soon.

Sakurajima
Sakurajima is an active composite volcano located in Kagoshima Bay. It is a symbol of Kagoshima, and part of Kirishima-Yaku National Park. The volcano began to form around 26,000 years ago, and it has had 17 major eruptions.
The people living on the island were super friendly and welcoming to us as visitors. Even though we didn't speak the same language, we could really feel their warmth.

Osaka Tsuruhashi Market
The market consists of not one but six markets and a shopping district that still retains the retro atmosphere of the time immediately after Japan's war (World War II). The market boasts a total of about 800 stores, including barbecue restaurants, Korean food stores, and specialty stores selling dried foods, daily necessities, and fresh fish. It is also famous as a market where chefs have come to stock up for centuries.
The sidewalks are packed with all kinds of goods on display. I really enjoy this kind of shopping vibe—feels just like what I'm used to.
