2025 Kamiamakusa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

This is a salt bread specialty shop located inside "Rizola Terrace Amakusa" that I stopped by during a trip to Amakusa. Many people were entering the shop one after another, so I decided to line up and buy some. Each piece is handmade in the shop using Amakusa salt. Apparently the temperature of the oven is adjusted depending on the weather and temperature of the day. I was surprised at how delicious it was after just one bite, and I regretted not buying more! ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information Facility name📍Amakusa Salt Bread Lab, Rizola Terrace Amakusa Address📍6215-16, Azu, Matsushima-cho, Kami Amakusa-shi, Kumamoto Business hours📍Weekdays 9:00-17:00 Weekends and holidays 9:00-17:30 Access📍 ・Approximately 15 minutes by cruiser from Misumi Port ・Approximately 90 minutes by express bus from Kumamoto Transportation Center, then 1 minute walk after getting off at Maejima ・Approximately 60 minutes from Matsubashi Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #Domestic travel record #Domestic travel #Rizola Terrace Amakusa #Amakusa Salt Bread Lab #Salt bread specialty store #Amakusa sightseeing #Amakusa drive #Kumamoto sightseeing #Girls trip #Couple trip

♨️ Hot Hot Springs ♨️ Location: Tokyo Odaiba, Japan Store: Oedo Onsen A place that inspired a movie! Oedo Onsen has a warm indoor atmosphere, but the outdoor area with doctor fish and various auxiliary facilities is also nice❣ There are various things to do and eat indoors! By the way, there is a Korean restaurant inside Oedo Onsen! Oedo Onsen is in Odaiba, and Odaiba has the Giant Sky Wheel Ferris wheel and the Statue of Liberty. When you are tired from the hot springs, is it heaven if you ride the Ferris wheel and watch the sunset?👍 #JapanTravel #TokyoTravel #OdaibaTravel #HappyNewYear #NewYearTravel #HotSpotRestaurant #SnowFlowerTravel #NowMenu #HotSpotRestaurant #Odaiba #Japan #Tokyo #HotSpot #OedoOnsen

📍Address: Iwaya Fishing Port, Kamiamakusa City 💞Recommended reason: Planning to stay at the Ryugu Hotel in Amakusa City that day While searching for a lunch spot along the way, I found a canteen restaurant in a small fishing village that was highly rated by the locals. So looking forward to giving it a try As soon as I pushed the door open, I could smell the aroma of sprouts all over the room. It turns out that this place is close to Nagasaki City and is famous for its Nagasaki Ramen 🍜 The characteristic of Nagasaki ramen is that it is full of sprouts 😀 Environment/Facilities - Quiet fishing village Featured - Nagasaki Ramen Price per person - ¥1000 Ratings - Popular local restaurants

📍Location: Rizolazabad 💰Price per person: Approximately 17,000 yen I really wanted to have a relaxing stay by the sea, so I made a reservation. It was just built, so everything was beautiful💞💞 Pool, sauna, and meal while looking at the sea! Relax while roasting marshmallows by the campfire. Breakfast while looking at the sea! It was so wonderful to experience something out of the ordinary!! For the meal, we had fish, meat, and live shrimp on the spot, and it was a performance that made us feel the gratitude for life. I was able to enjoy the food even more, and I was very satisfied with the coffee after the meal☕︎ The breakfast was also healthy, especially the soup🍲 My senior had a second helping😛 Unfortunately, it rained, so the weather was stormy the next day...but that was fun too☺︎ (And there was an earthquake nearby🫨) However, one thing to note is that the smell of the outerwear you wore during the campfire never goes away!

#Spring0yentrip "As the name suggests, this inn is attractive for its rustic hot springs that make use of a natural cave. The spring water is rich in ingredients like salt water, and warms you to the core. The baths are alternated between men and women, and you can enjoy both the cave bath and the cypress bath. The ocean view from the room is also impressive! ▶Access: Approximately 10 minutes by car from the Matsushima Onsen area ▶Travel tips: Check in in the evening → The best time to take a sunset bath before dinner is to make a reservation early."

This is a museum where you can learn about the history of Amakusa Shiro, and we recommend it for tourists in Amakusa. There are models of Nanban ships, dioramas, panel displays, and more. Photography is not permitted inside the building. The exterior of the building is very distinctive and beautiful, with an exotic feel. I think it's a facility that can be enjoyed even on rainy days. The view was beautiful as it is built on high ground.

Sharing food in Amakusa😋 Amakusa, a seaside city, of course, has seafood food. In addition to the sea urchin cakes and shrimp cakes introduced earlier, there is a restaurant in Amakusa that specializes in seafood Don rice. Many people choose to dine in this restaurant! The three-color Don has tempura, sashimi rice and wagyu beef, all of which are very fresh and delicious, and you can see the spectacular sea view🥰 Sea salt bread is also not to be missed. The minister thought it was just ordinary bread and only bought two back. After eating it, I understand why tourists and locals buy half a dozen or a dozen🤣The best sea salt bread in my life, I will definitely come again next time😋 Amakusa's mandarin orange juice and ice cream are also not to be missed, sour and sweet, very special🤩 The golden statue of Minister Kumamon and the One Piece ship are both very beautiful😎 Sincerely recommend the one-day experience tour of Amakusa City, it is a very interesting itinerary, I hope I can see dolphins again in the near future😚 #Amakusa #AmakusaDolphin #Kumamoto #KumamotoBear #AmakusaMandarin #AmakusaSeafoodDon #AmakusaSeaSaltBread #kumamon #kumamoto #amakusa #dolphin #onepiece #foodiegirl #MiyazakiDog #Minister #fatty #travel

Amakusa Aquarium Dolphin Experience Event🐬🐳🐋 There is no way to avoid bears. The aquarium has a dolphin experience activity where you can touch dolphins and enjoy the performance. Finally, the purpose of this trip to Amakusa was completed. Thank you for the minister’s blessing. The trainer played and performed with the dolphins, and sang. I was surprised that the dolphins were as obedient as children. It was the first time to get close to dolphins. The dolphins jumped and splashed the lake water on us. The children of Kumamon took photos next to us. Fortunately, they did not fall into the water. We are very happy to meet three little dolphins. We hope you grow up healthily and see you again if you are lucky. #Amakusa #AmakusaAquarium #Kumamon #amakusa #kumamon #dolphin #dolphin #kumamonluffy #bearfoodie #miyazakidog #happymon #kyushu #dolphinshow #travel #kumamoto #Kumamoto

Smiling manta ray at Amakusa Aquarium 😙🐠 Sometimes, unexpected events will cause adjustments and surprises in the itinerary 😂 Although it is better if there are no accidents 🤣 It’s a rare trip to Amakusa, and I believe there must be other places worth remembering besides the dolphins. Thanks to a young man from Tainan for the introduction. He was doing an internship in Amakusa and will graduate and return to Taiwan in June. I wish him good health and success in his work! Tainan is also a city that the minister likes very much. It is an ancient city with green tunnels, beef soup, tofu pudding and other delicacies. I hope to go there again (I have been there twice). I sincerely recommend it to everyone😊 It turns out that there is a small aquarium in Amakusa. Since I have time, I went in to take a look. I found a cute manta ray that knows how to smile. It's so funny 😅🤣😂 There are also tropical goldfish that are very famous in Pixar animation. Kumamon and his friends took photos to commemorate the occasion😎 The delicacies in Amakusa include shrimp cakes and various marine specialties, including the sea urchin cakes in the picture, which are quite unique. I brought a box of shrimp cakes back to my new company 😅 The next sharing will continue with the trip to Amakusa⋯⋯😎 #Amakusa #sea urchin #uni #Kumamoto #Kyushu #Kumamon #kumamon #amakusa #Amakusa Aquarium Sean #Amakusa Sea Urchin #kumamoto #Tainan #accident #fatty #manta #cute #Taiwan #Miyazaki Dog ##Solo Travel #100 Ways to Travel

🌟Sky Ship [Location] From Kumamoto, you can take a bus 🚌 or take the A train ➕ ferry to reach Amakusa. The hotel location is truly unique, with a panoramic view of the Thousand Island Five Bridges, and the blue hour in the evening is especially clear and bright. If you're lucky, you can even see the golden "Light of God". [Environment] This hotel has been in my bookmarks for a long, long time. It has few people, beautiful scenery, good environment, faces the sea, and has private hot springs in the room. The room is very large, especially the shower 🚿 area, which is more than enough if there are children together. Japanese-style service is very attentive. There is free shuttle service to the train station and port. Electric cars are available for transportation within the hotel (although the hotel is not very large). [Dining] The only restaurant in the hotel is located at the "bow" with a 270-degree sea view. Breakfast and dinner are served here. Breakfast is semi-buffet style, with self-service for drinks 🥤, cold dishes, and desserts, while grilled sausages, eggs, soup of the day, and seafood congee are served at the table. You can choose between omelet or scrambled eggs for your eggs, and there are different options every day for grilled fish, sausages, bacon 🥓, etc. Dinner is a six-course Japanese-style Italian meal, using local ingredients and Italian cooking methods. Overall, the appetizers, main course, and desserts are of good quality.

I'm Alone on the Sea My Own Sky My Love Is Like a Wave Rolling Every Summer Afternoon I Want to Send It to You My Love Forever Deep Like a Wild Shore Forever Loving the Blue Sea I'll Wait for You to Come Back The Sea Always Calls Your Name The Sad Wind Lulls Gently My Own Sweet Words Come Back to the Ocean, My Dear Warm Love by the Blue Sea The Gentle Waves Lapping Forever I'll Still Wait for You

I have stayed in this 3-star hot spring hotel twice before and after, in fact, Japan 3, 4 star often feel no difference, the room is quite large, the service is OK, and there is a hot spring. The most favorite is to choose to eat dinner time, enough time to have a dedicated person sent into the room, one person can slowly enjoy, of course, two people are even better, of course, the ingredients are absolutely fresh. Photos 1-2 are from 2016, when the two were taken, the others are in 2017. Most importantly, the hotel room rate that includes two meals is quite cheap, however it has been many years, when the price is forgotten. #JapaneseCooking #Amakusa #Kyushu #Value Hotel
