Home town

My home town is Kumamoto. I was born and grew in Kumamoto. Kumamoto is nine states of right down the middle.

Before I was a nursery school student, I was brought up in the house of grandparents in Matsubase. Matsubase, if anything, is the country and is at a very quiet place. If I take a walk and meet , anyone says hello by all means. People are kinder the country than a city.

First, the water of Kumamoto is very delicious. I drank tap water since I was young and was brought up. When other prefectures and foreign people hear it, they may be surprised. But, you can really drink water from tap water.

Next, do you know Kumamoto Castle? Kumammoto Castle is the building which is the most famous for Kumamoto. There is not the building which is higher than Kumamoto Castle in Kumamoto. Because it is decided in the regulations. It is called the one of the Japan's three biggest fine castles. For example, the castle have protecting stones of samurai residences. It is Ishigaki drawing a beautiful curve, very popular.

The Tujun Bridge was built Ishigaki ob protecting stones of samurai residences as a model. The bridge is in Yamato town, Kamimashiki country. It is famous in Kumamoto, too. If you are lucky, you will be able to see the state into which water runs from the bridge.

Next, there are sea in Kumamoto. My cousin live in Amakusa. So when I was a elementary school student, I often go to my cousin's house in summer vacation and go to see in sea of near their house. You can eat fresh and delicious marine products in a neighborhood of the sea.

Finally, there are Aso mountain. Mt. Aso has an eminent large size caldera and a magnificent outer rim of a volcanic crater in the world. So, it is got close to as symbolic existence of "country Kumamoto of the fire". Because Mt. Aso is an active volcano, an entrance of the neighborhood of crater is regulated when activity becomes active, and a poisonous gas was generated.
