We travelled to Kuamoto by bullet train.
We went to Suizenji Garden, an example of an Edo period stroll garden. It has a miniature Mount Fuji in the middle, and a large pond filled with koi fish.
Then we went to Kumamoto Castle. The photo is of the only original turret left standing, the rest of the castle is reconstructed. Large and interesting - lasted through a 50 day siege in 1877 - the castle builders had included lots of wells.
Traveled by train to Nagasaki. In Nagasaki we are staying for 3 nights in a ryokan where we sleep on the floor. We requested that they stack an extra "mattress" under our bed and that helped a lot. We had a much better sleep than the last floor we slept on.
