You can enjoy fresh seafood dishes here and also watch an exciting tuna cutting show. It's a great way to learn more about Japanese fishing culture.

JR KYUSHU RAIL PASS
The JR KYUSHU RAIL PASS is a great-value rail pass offered by JR Kyushu for international visitors. It provides unlimited travel on JR lines throughout Kyushu-including local trains, limited express trains, and even the Kyushu Shinkansen. You can choose from 3-, 5-, or 7-day passes, and select the area that suits your itinerary: Northern Kyushu, Southern Kyushu, or All Kyushu.
Super convenient! You can go anywhere you want—this pass is seriously a must-have for traveling around Kyushu. At first, I thought it was pricey, but after using it, I realized it’s totally worth it. Just a few rides and it pays for itself.

Higo Yokamon Market
Opened in 2018, Higo Yokamon Market is a commercial facility located under the elevated tracks of JR Kumamoto Station, spanning 7,500 square meters and housing about 60 attractive stores.
There are lots of stalls here selling Kumamoto's local specialties. You can try authentic horse meat dishes, spicy lotus root, and other traditional foods. Everything is packed with local flavor and will definitely make your mouth water.

Kabukicho
Kabukicho is the entertainment district that sits just steps from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It’s a major hub for izakaya pubs, amusement centers and nightlife spots to enjoy after hours. With neon signs lit up through the entire night, it’s earned the nickname of “the city that never sleeps”.
This place isn't just about Japanese entertainment—there are influences from all over the world. It really feels like an international city.
