Every year on October 9th and 10th, thousands of visitors flock to Takayama for the huge Autumn Takayama Festival. The festival is a celebration of thanksgiving and marks the start of preparations for winter. 
The festival features colorful and ornately decorated floats. Some floats are topped with mechanical puppets, which puppeteers manipulate to perform traditional dances at set times; performances usually take place around morning and noon. After dark on the 9th, the evening celebrations begin with a parade of 100 lantern-lit floats through the town.

Kumamoto Castle is full of ingenuity. In my mind, the castle ruins are truly magnificent.

Most astonishing are the piles of stones beneath the walls. They were rolled down during the Kumamoto earthquake. While progress is slow, they will one day be rebuilt.

Mount Aso

Aso has a unique weather and is home to flowers, birds and butterflies. More than 2,500 mm of rainfall falls on the grassland every year, seeping into the vast land and becoming the source of six first-level rivers, providing water for about 2.3 million people in Kyushu. There are as many as 1,500 places in Aso that are known as &quot;famous water&quot;. Because the grassland is fertile and the grass grown is suitable for grazing, the milk produced here is also very fresh. Let&#39;s drink this glass of milk from Mount Aso🥛

Kumamon Square

There are two performances every day, from 2:00 to 2:30 in the afternoon, which is very suitable for parent-child activities. Of course, adults are also very happy. Minister Bear is cute, lively and interactive. Not bad 👍

Suizenji Jojuen Garden

开心就好灬

Suizenji Jojuen Garden is also a place you can visit in Kumamoto. It takes 10 to 20 minutes by car from the city. The whole garden is quite designed. There is a very beautiful lake in the middle with many fat fish. If you like history, you can spend more time there. Normally, one and a half hours is enough to finish the tour. If the weather is good, it is still quite photogenic.
