I lived in Kumamoto, where Kumamon originated. Kumamon, whom foreigners adore, helps to draw in tourists.

Kumamoto City, whose water supply comes from natural sources, is home to Kumamoto Zoo.

My students, who studied at Nishigaoka Junior High School, used to train at this tennis court on weekends.

I could go wherever I wanted because he volunteered to be my chauffeur. He even drove me to a far-flung dinosaur museum.

Whichever destination had the most hype captured my attention. That is why I visited Kurokawa Onsen.
