We enjoyed Kumamoto very much. The Kumamoto Castle was very interesting and my daughter loved all the anime shops nearby. We traveled a little more south to Ashikita where my mother's family is from.

10/10 Excellent
"This is the Sotetsu Inn you should choose when visiting Kumamoto. Note that it is bigger than the typical Sotetsu inns in the Tokyo area so you get a more spacious quiet and comfortable room. Location is perfect as you are right next to the shopping arcade. "
