[2025 Kumamoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Shimotori Shopping Arcade (Updated Apr)

#globaltravel #Kumamoto #Kyushu Day 1: Kumamoto ✦ Streetcar If moving in downtown Kumamoto, streetcars are probably the most commonly used means of transportation - however note that from November 2024, streetcars will only accept Kumamon IC cards and cash La>< ✦ Up and down pass The most famous shopping street in Kumamoto Center is divided into upper and lower parts. Drug shops, doll shops, local specialty restaurants and all kinds of snacks and desserts can all be found here✨ ✦ Horse Meat Restaurant: Horse Cherry Masakura is a popular horse meat restaurant in Kumamoto that both tourists and locals go to! ! Personally recommended dishes: 🍴horse meat sashimi When you get to Kumamoto, you have to try the most famous local horse meat! The restaurant has different horse meat dishes, hot pot, barbecue, sashimi, sushi, etc. Among them, I think horse meat sashimi can show the charm of horse meat ✨ Horse meat is actually a little like beef, but the taste is particularly soft and fragrant! I don't particularly like it, but it's worth a try 🍴Mustard Lotus Root This is the local cuisine that surprised me the most! ! There will be some mustard soy sauce inside the lotus root, outside is a layer of fried dough, with mayonnaise to eat, is a magical taste 🤣 The taste of mustard will not be very choking, recommend you try 🌟 It is recommended to make an appointment in advance on the official website, especially during dinner time, there will be many Japanese workers to eat there, the crowd is more, booked in advance is not afraid to disrupt the schedule ~ 🏠Fav Hotel Personally, I think it is a good value for money hotel with simple and comfortable rooms. The room is also very large, with 4 double beds, a washing machine, and a drying function in the bathroom 🙂↕️ After washing today, you can wear it the next day, the package is super suitable for family travel ~ However, I do not know if it is unlucky or what , we live a few Wi-Fi super invincible slow, often have to use their own data, you can pay attention 👀

#AustraliaFlightEvent I recently went shopping at Don Quijote. Don Quijote, a famous discount store in Japan, is always full of various products and many new items, so it's fun to look around. At first, I only thought about buying the things I really needed, but I found some unexpected and fun things instead. Various Japanese snacks, souvenirs, and daily necessities with unique designs caught my eye. In particular, there were many products with cute Japanese characters, so I wanted to buy them one by one. The price was cheap, so I was satisfied, and I ended up buying a few more things in addition to the things I needed. After shopping, I came back with a light heart, and it was a place I wanted to visit again.

#DomesticTravelRecord 📍KaniTomi This is a crab specialty restaurant that I made a reservation for during my trip to Kumamoto. There is a nice counter inside, and we went to a private room inside. We had the Omakase Crab Kaiseki (upper) course (appetizer, sashimi, special dish, grilled dish, crab porridge, pickles, dessert). It started with an elegant soup, and the appetizer, king crab, and snow crab sashimi were also very delicious. Along the way, a large spiny lobster was also served, so we enjoyed the shrimp as well. 🦐 Finally, we had the king crab and snow crab shabu-shabu that we had been looking forward to. The long-awaited crab shabu-shabu was plump and voluminous. The final dish was a delicious crab porridge with crab broth. The dessert was pear compote. I would like to visit again as a treat. Thank you for the meal☺️ Kani Tomi📍Harusamedo Building 2F-1, 1-11-15 Shimodori, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture🕰️11:30-14:00 17:00-23:00😪No fixed holidays #KumamotoGourmet #KumamotoTrip #KumamotoTourism

#triptravelchina #Kumamototourist #shimatori 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered. Are you looking for shopping and restaurants in Kumamoto?

Hello~ I'm back with my one day plan in Kumamoto, where I went to last month. And some tips to travel in Japan during summer! 7:00 AM - Arrive at Kumamoto Station - I took the first Shinkansen train from Hataka Station and arrived at Kumamoto Station at 7:00 AM. - You must have Kyushu Pass first but seat reservation is not a must. You can go non-reserve train and find a seat there~ I personally reserved seat and there were only 4 people in my train. - There are lots of coin lockers to deposit your belongings. But if your hotel provides some space to deposit your luggages, this helps you save the costs a lot! 9:00 AM - Kumamon Port Yatsushiro - Loads of cute Kumamons are here. There're some small shops for you to buy food, drinks, and souvenirs. - Parking Lots and toilets are available. - If you want to go to this place, I recommend to rent a car! - I took a taxi from Yatsushiro Station (Approx. ¥3,000). And when I arrived, the taxi driver told me that there is no any taxi or bus here. I had to walk around 2km to take the Airport Limousine Bus back to Shin-Yatsushiro Station. It's fine for me but not in summer in Japan. 12:00 PM - Kumamoto Castle Area - Take Tram A Line from Kumamoto Station to Habatacho Station and walk around 400m. I recommend to buy one day ticket. - Sakura-no-baba Josaien - Kumamoto Castle + Musuem (¥800/¥850) 3:30 PM - Suizenji Park - Take Tran A Line from Torichosuji Station to Suizenji Park Station and walk 250m. - ¥400 5:30 PM - Shimotori Shopping Arcade - Take Tram A Line from Suizenji Park Station to Torichosuji Station - Have a dinner at Kumamoto Food Stall Village. - I recommend Izakaya restaurant and local drinks only ¥100 per cup. - Enjoy your time shopping here. I personally walked around and took Purikura as a local. 9:00 PM - Back to Hotel - I booked hotel for a night because I would like to visit Aso Mount on the next day. You can take late night Shinkansen back to Fukuoka if you want to~ TIPS: IT'S A MUST TO BRING A BOTTLE OF WATER WITH YOU AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER DURING SUMMER IN JAPAN. #kumamoto #japan #thingstodo #summervacation #summerdestinations #summer #trip #travel #asia #asiatrip

Kumamoto Ramen and Hakata Ramen are both porridge soups. What is the difference? White turbid soup, unique garlic slices with thick noodles, is the signature feature of Kumamoto Ramen. Kumamoto bus terminal next to the shopping street, there is a parent dragon shop, the first night to choose, I did not expect to be so famous in the local, at 9 o'clock in the evening there are people lined up. The signboards of this house are all hung on the wall, the local flour, the pork of Kyushu and the free special features. Rich ramen noodles come up, the value of the face is very high, the noodles are more distinctive, and the soup is also very rich! This ramen shop is also very rich in non-staple food, such as fried rice balls and fried chicken, which is a very cost-effective restaurant.
