About Kumamoto
Kumamoto is defined by its castle — one of the finest in Japan, damaged in the 2016 earthquake and undergoing restoration that has become a subject of public interest and pride. The Fujisaki Hachimangu Autumn Festival is one of Kyushu's most spectacular processions, featuring thousands of participants in period costume.
