We went to the Kumamoto castle before the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake.

We can't see this beautiful figure, now.

However, I strongly believe We'll see just a same figure in some day. 

I went to a traditional area in Tokyo.

Tokyo looks strange. It is because the city has

two faces; the modern city and the old-fashioned face.

The other day, I went Yanaka in Tokyo, which is one of the

old-fashioned town. The town made me refresh. 

I

which was brought as a special service on the last

 ice cream and crepe there. it was so tasty

that I was so impressed.

Day 2: Journey to Kyusyu

When we visit Kumamoto. The cherry blossoms started to bloom.
The Kumoto area is located in southern side of the main land of Japan.
Therefore, they bloom faster than tokyo.   

We went to the mount Aso. We can go up to a small peak. 

Mt. Aso is an active volcano.

Kusa-senri field; people can ride on horseback.

Takachiho  ravine, a famous sightseeing sot.

I went to Kyushu (southernmost of the four main islands of Japan).

Last weekend, we went to Kyushu.

The reason why we chose the place is that,

my wife and I hoped my daughter rode on an air plane.

We bought a package tour in this spring vocation.

The bellow pictures were taken in the Haneda international

airport when we reached there. The airport building looked beutiful. 

We frighted from the Haneda international airport to

the Kumamoto airport.
