The 49 best shopping and stores in Kumamoto

The castle is quite beautiful, but so is many other castles around Japan. While the constructed elevated walkway does take away from the historic look and feel, it does however give a different vantage point to the ground path. There are still many spots where the earthquake damage is “preserved”. The tourist facilities are very well laid out and most staff can speak basic English, and restaurant and snacks stalls are a bit expensive but reasonable for a tourist spot. Worth a visit if you are already coming to Kumamoto, but I wouldn’t bother travelling long distance just to see the castle.

We had one of the most fun castle visits in Kumamoto! My family and I really enjoyed the activities: trying on traditional Samurai clothes while exploring the site, watching the exciting Samurai battle performance, and taking photos in the beautifully designed areas with authentic architecture and house backdrops. The castle itself is a magnificent sight, full of rich history to discover. Everything was well-organized, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Truly a memorable experience!

Kumamoto Castle looks beautiful from the outside and the reconstruction after the 2016 earthquake is impressive. Inside it feels modern, more like a museum about the castle than a place showing how it once looked. There are no traditional rooms or old interiors like in Himeji. There’s also a separate Castle Museum but it can be skipped since the main castle already explains most of the history and the rebuilding process. Great to see from the outside, but not the old Japan vibe I expected.

The castle is beautiful. I've been to about a dozen castle's in Japan and this one is setup beautifully. The structure is intact and they have nicely laid out artifacts inside. The whole castle area is pretty large so you can explore. Make sure to allocate about 2 hours here if you really enjoy the history behind the castle. There was construction going as you can see in my pictures and so you'll definitely see places that could use fixing up, but it's nice because they seem to be working towards it.

Admission fee 800yen for castle only. There is an app called the KumaCastle which they encouraged you to download. Very easy to use. U can use the app to scan the QR code in each station for a more thorough briefing. Learnt that this castle got affected by the earthquake on 2016 and restoration is still in progress. Looking at how they went on to preserve something so worthy of the effort is heartwarming. Not boring. It’s educational and it’s informative for both adults and kids.

Visiting Kumamoto Castle was one of the most peaceful and moving experiences of my trip to Japan. As I walked toward the castle, the grand black-and-white towers rose above the trees, standing proudly against the sky. Even from a distance, I could feel the strength and spirit of the place. Inside the castle grounds, time seemed to slow down. The stone walls, carefully rebuilt after the earthquake, carry stories of courage and endurance. I found myself pausing often—just to breathe in the quiet air and imagine what life was like centuries ago. It’s amazing how a place that has faced so much destruction can still stand with such dignity and grace. Walking along the pathways lined with old trees, I felt surrounded by both history and hope. The sunlight filtering through the leaves gave the whole place a warm glow, and for a moment, I felt completely at peace. There was no rush, no noise—only the soft sounds of the wind and my own footsteps. Kumamoto Castle reminded me that beauty often comes from strength, and peace can exist even after hardship. I left the castle feeling calm, inspired, and deeply grateful. It is more than just a historic site—it is a symbol of resilience and quiet power. If you ever visit Kumamoto, take time to stand still within those walls and let the spirit of the castle speak to you.

A very well preserved historical monument, and very cleverly and sensitively remodelled to include visual and static exhibits, including modern amenities like walking paths and ramps, and elevators and toilets. Becoming a user friendly and accessible place for everyone. The visual displays and video documentary present very detailed historical and rehabilitation backgrounds, making the visit very interesting and educational.

Date visited: late Jun 2025. Most of the shops are restaurants- fried stuffs and resulted in oily smell along the arcade. Couple of Pachinko shops. Couple of shops selling stuffs. One shop similar to Dunkee shop duty free. Couple of medical duty free shops. Anyway nothing really interesting to shop. Most shop close at 7 pm-8pm. There is McDonald along the arcade. Quite disappointed as the arcade is filled with cooking oil smells - overnight cooking oil smell. I just want to leave as fast as possible. I thought would be better in other section but sad to say due to many stores are restaurants selling fried stuffs, the smells just stay along the entire arcade. There is nothing interesting to take pictures for this arcade.

Came on weekday evening and find this place relatively quiet. Nothing much to see. Pretty may similar shops.

We visited a number of shopping streets in Kyushu and this must be the busiest. A wide and long walking street where shops were located at both side of the alley. There were small little alleys that would lead to some local restaurants and eateries as well. The family had fun shopping here where managed to find the popular Japanese pharmacy, don don donki, some street food and even a shop selling local porcelain kitchen ware and wooden kitchen items, all made in Japan. There were some common fast food restaurant like McDonald’s and Starbucks located along this street too. I even managed to find a good taiyaki snack bar here which tasted awesome, crispy on the outside. I would say one would need to allocate at least two hours for shopping here.

Nice place to walk around with lots of shops and restaurants. Very easy to explore, but many stores close a bit early — come in the afternoon or early evening for the best experience.

You could still find plenty of restaurants along the street even after like 8 or 9pm. Though it would be better to come and shop during the day.

Very vibrant till late. Vegetarian options restaurant

Every big city has an 'outdoor' covered shopping arcade, a place to hide from the rain or escape a mid-summer sun. Plenty of shops and adventurous tiny hidden alley ways leading to small cafes and diners. 2015 and there was good public Wi-Fi so we were unable to ditch dead weight children.

Date visited end June 2025. Just like standard shopping center with two basement for food takeaways and pastries. Then different floors selling clothes etc. no food court. There is one supermarket but not a big one. I took pictures only on some stalls as most of them are similar to the standard shopping centers in Taiwan. The Kumamoto store is also within the same building.

If you want to shake hands with Kumamon, famous mascot of Kumamoto city, this is the place. A big department store located in the city of the town, close to walking street and fifteen minutes walk to visit Kumamoto castle.

I like the roof floor which is floor particularly for kids. At 7/F, there is a designated zone for kids too. It’s an old school shopping mall with quite a few shops of high end brand. In general, it’s children friendly.

After enjoying the nature at Takachiho Gorge, we stopped by Tsuruya Department Store, which was super convenient. This mall has a great variety of items, from well-known brands to daily goods—perfect for one-stop shopping. However, navigating inside the mall can be a bit confusing, especially when moving between the two buildings. The connecting paths are on different levels, so keep an eye on the signs or ask the staff for directions—it really helps. Overall, if you have time and want a wide selection of products, Tsuruya is definitely worth a visit!

If you’re looking for high end brands, come here! I found some Dior and Chanel store at the first floor. Don’t forget to come at the basement because that’s a a lot of food stalls inside

I had a visit to the watch store here and was impressed with there collections & ambience. We bought 3 wall clocks of Seiko and citizen automatic wrist watches here and it is tax free. Very nice store.

Visited first floor to go the Kumamon Square. Chance timing to get to see the show. 🥰

A fascinating museum to learn and appreciate the history and aesthetics of Kumamoto’s handicraft and artisans! But it might be a bit commercial to some people’s liking as the museum seemed to place too much emphasis on the business instead of promotion of the local arts! But I must frankly admit that priciness aside, the items sold in souvenirs store were beyond beautiful!

Nice examples of handmade goods, which you can also buy. Of course price is a bit higher. They offered me here free coffee with a small cake which was a nice surprise.

Lovely products handmade by local artists, pottery, knives, jewellery, woven textiles, wood work. The exhibition area was closed when we visited. Worth dropping in.

The VR experience and 3D animation of Kumamoto Castle Navigation was awesome!

Free parking for visitors. Can experience live handicrafts at work. Some exhibits and souvenirs if you have interest in the castle's history. Can walk along the ruins of the castle which is closed for repair works. Otherwise I'll give a 5 star if the castle ground is open.

Nice place to look at the exhibits. You can also get a free cup of Japanese tea!

Amazing place! Friendly staff (English speakers) and beautiful local artisans exhibitions: ceramics, carpentry, basketmaking... I am really happy to see that young local artisans keep such beautiful traditions alive. Check the museum shop before you leave!

Wonderful serene place with a cool history to it. Please be sure to read up on it first. There are a few spots to see and it was very quiet and beautiful. The area is great for hiking but I had no offline map and no reception so I chickened out. Please prepare accordingly and mind the public transport is somewhat limited be sure to know the times.

If you're into the history, this cave is worthwhile trip. It costs 300 yen to enter and the gentleman there was very kind and helpful. It's a very peaceful area with great history. Be prepared to walk a while from the bus stop if you don't have a car. Also, the busses only go every couple of hours so a taxi may be needed. It is well worth the trip to get there.

I used public transport. From bus stop till the entrance of the temple, it was about 20mins worth of walking up slope. Not sure if it’s because I fell sick a few days ago and have not yet recovered or what, but that walk felt like a hike. If you have access to a motorised vehicle, please just use that. Once you’re up there though, it’s really quiet and peaceful. Absolutely no one. Entrance to the cave requires entrance fee - 300yen. Here i need to warn everyone that there are several flight of steps, both up and down, to get to the actual cave. And they are steep and very uneven. So uneven that one of the steps is almost like a slippery slope sliding down to the step below it. And i unfortunately stepped on that, and slipped and fell. Got some nasty scratches on my legs and sprained my wrist. :( Hold on to the rails for your life. Or wear better shoes with grippier outsoles. I think it’s a me problem though since others don’t seem to be having this issue. Also noticed several spider silk in the way like across the stairs. Just be careful of running into spiders. Be sure to check the bus timings if you’re coming by public transport - they have very limited trips in a day. Download taxi apps like GO in advance just in case.

Nice temple, the road to the cave is short and easy and is covered with many many statues,each with individual design. The cave itself is very spiritual and provokes to sit and think a little about what and why you are doing in your life. Recommended to go in the morning not to ruin the solo travel

If you are into history and know about Miyamoto Musashi, this cave is a must visit. It is small but gorgeous. However, be aware that the cave is quite far from Kumamoto Station and the bus is hard to reach and time. I went by taxi and on my way back I met Chris from US who offered to drive my back to Kumamoto Station. Thanks again Chris! Should you ever come to Zurich, let me know, I will show you around.

Now i must study the Five Rings to understand Miyazaki better

As a martial artist visiting Kyushu, this was an inevitable visit. It was quiet while I was there and very serene.

I came here in the evening after visiting the castle. It is obviously built for tourists so prices can be a bit higher here. But also you will be able to find unique food like horse meat here, and also omiyage from the Kumamoto region. Was not crowded because I arrived quite late.

The food here is low quality and expensive. It is better to come here after having a meal at the nearby mall's food court. Definition of a tourist trap. But you can still enjoy the scenery and old aesthetic without buying any food. The Kumamoto Castle ticketing area is here too, you can buy tickets and ticket packages for the castle and museums. This area feels too commercialized, lacking many of the traditional feeling. You can also print a Kumamoto Castle coin with engraving for 630 yen

Not a big area. Mainly restaurants. One gift shop. Walking around here takes 10 mins unless you go for the VR or wearing costumes to walk around and take pictures. Enjoy the ancient feel with the architectural style.

Sakura-no-baba Josaien, a lively castle town square at the foot of Kumamoto Castle, where visitors can enjoy local cuisine, traditional crafts, and cultural performances.

One of nice spots to visit when you are visiting Kumamoto Castle, it is near the castle, and close to bus stop that will take you back to the town. Here, there are lots of local shops and restaurants.

Visited in July 2025 Back in the day, the site was a stable for the troops stationed in the castle. But now the days of horse transportation is long gone and it has been repurposed as a tourist center. The Wakuwakuza museum is inside the complex as well. Due to the absence of any real food courts or shopping centers nearby and around the castle area (the city's major shopping arcade is 500+ meters away), the price of the foods here are way more expensive, borderline tourist trap level even. That being said, there are some items I found interesting. For instance, there is one stall that sells anything horse meat, from croquette, sausage on skewer, and even sushi. Forgot to ask whether the latter is grilled or raw horse meat on sushi rice (seems to be on the former). Another sells some Kumamon-shaped cake with some filling. AFAIK there's one shuttle bus running between the place and Kumamoto Station.

This place could get busy at times, specially on weekend where there are many tourists but it is still tolerable. The place is nice and has different stores that offer food and drinks. I particularly love the matcha store there. Offers great variety of food and has available seats on the side. Local sellers are welcoming and very kind. At times, there are presentations in the morning and afternoon, I am not so sure about the schedule and if it is something seasonal. I believe local sellers are used to meeting foreigners and despite the fact that most of them dont speak English, they still try to be patient and warm. I have not tried the restaurants there but will try my best to visit it next time. Added some photos at night

Great for walking and seeing local shops. One of the main shopping streets.

Nice shopping

(Translated by Google) 2023/12 Just like shopping streets across Japan, there are long corridors to protect you from wind and rain. According to the official website, the central part of the floor is paved with beautiful hardwood "heavy ant wood" from South America. The total length is about 360 meters and the width is 11 meters. (Original) 2023/12 就像日本各地的商店街，有長廊避免風吹雨淋。官網介紹，地面中央部分是產自南美的美麗硬木「重蟻木」所鋪成。全長約360公尺，寬11公尺。

(Translated by Google) 20250509 The advantage of the shopping street is that it has a canopy, so you can still go shopping even on rainy days Kamidori Shopping Street doesn’t seem to have much to offer Shimitori Shopping Street has more to offer (Original) 20250509 商店街的好處就是有遮雨棚 即使下雨天依舊可以逛街購物 上通商店街 感覺比較沒有甚麼可以逛的 下通商店街比較多可以逛的

(Translated by Google) The core of Kumamoto's downtown shopping district is composed of Kamidori, Shimodori, and Shinshidori. Kamidori is more for clothing and boutiques, while Shimodori is mostly for restaurants and snacks. What they have in common is that they are full of drugstores, making them the best choice for rainy days. (Original) 熊本市區商店街的核心，由上通、下通、新市街構成。上通偏向服飾與精品店，下通則多為餐廳及小吃，共通點是藥妝店遍佈，也是雨天備案的最佳選擇。

Loved this place very much! Went many times during our 4-day stay in Kumamoto. Kids did their painting on the car and bus as part of the game in front of the building.

During my visit to Kumamoto, have visited the Sakuramachi place very convenient location with Kumamoto Castle in the near by and it is very of the center point for the tourist as well as local people to relax, do the shopping and enjoy the food. When I visited, there was Taiwan fare going on just outside the place and it was very energetic atmosphere. Must visit the place when there, during the June timings you can see the Hydrangea flowers and an amazing rooftop view of the Kumamoto castle as well.

Perfect place to hang around! What i loved the most is, There’s a lot of restaurants to eat too! depends on your type 😜

The mall has decent shopping options, but then again nothing much that really shouts uniqueness. That said, it's well put together, modern, and well organised. Would've been good to have more unique food options available though, we found ourselves mainly heading out for food and only dropping by for Family Mart and Daiso.

End June 2025. It is excellent place with strategic location- it is near the shopping arcade, the castle and some other tourist spots. It itself is a shopping mall with food court, supermarket and restaurants. Better still it is connected to bus terminals where you can take buses to airport and couple of other places. It has a rooftop garden where you can enjoy walking around and look at different views. There is also an eatery shop in the garden and a small interesting shallow pool for kids to play with water. Entrance is free✌️. Koko hotel is together with this shopping mall. There is a tram stop just next to this mall. You can find Daisu shop in here too.

Sakura Machi Mall has various shops inside it. In my country, malls are really big but I dont know if it is already considered big in Japan. I like the fact that this is not just a building but it has trees and plants too. You can enjoy your favorite drink outside there are seats provided and on the top floor is a playground for children and a place where you could relax while seeing nature. Occasionally, there are exhibits of food stalls outside the mall where you can enjoy food, music and other stuff. Toilets are clean too and there are wide selection of food in the B1. Bus Terminals are also very reliable, it has an updated schedule and signages are everywhere. I would say it is a foreigner- friendly mall, signages are in English and announcements are in English, Korean and Chinese.

A lively shopping and bus hub in central Kumamoto, home to the cheerful Kumamon statue 🐻 — a must-see photo spot!

A Family-Friendly Wonderland of Fun and Exploration Aeon Mall is a true haven for families seeking a delightful day out. This sprawling complex offers far more than just shopping and dining. It's an immersive experience tailored for kids and adults alike. From interactive play areas to educational exhibits, little ones are kept endlessly entertained. Meanwhile, parents can indulge in retail therapy or savor diverse culinary delights. The spacious, stroller-friendly layout and numerous family-friendly amenities make it a breeze to navigate. However, don’t expect the restaurants have the best food, it is an average.

From the car parking I thought this was a medium sized mall. In fact this is a massive Aeon mall fully equipped with all your shopping needs. Atmosphere is new and clean and it encourages people to shop and have fun. Good mall I recommend shopping here.

It's the best mall in kumamoto. Good variety of restaurants and puff pastry shop!

A mall which is not friendly to tourists. There is no locker for luggage storage.

Its pretty standard Japanese Aeon mall. Unless you have kids or are dying of starvation, not a bit of food you would want to wait to eat. Movie theatre is decent. Some okay clothing stores. Lots of capsule machines... Parking can be insane on a weekend. Japan hasn't gotten the memo that malls are dead.

Good modern mall, with variety of shops, two floors of restaurants - one with fast food and a toddlers' soft play area, the other slightly more upmarket - a children's game arcade, a cinema, and acres of parking.

Great sushi and bakery section

This is a really nice shopping mall next to Kumamoto Station, with a small waterfall and an atrium near the front entrance. Besides lots of shops & restaurants, there are also a supermarket (1/F), a cinema (7/F) and a hotel (9-12F). A children's playground and a small shrine are located on the third floor open terrace. Higher up on the ninth floor is an outdoor observation deck.

AMU plaza is just beside the Kumamoto JR station. Nice mall with lots of shops and restaurants. Visited the Christmas market in Nov 2024.

**Amu Plaza Kumamoto** Conveniently located next to Kumamoto Station, Amu Plaza Kumamoto is a great place to spend the entire day. Whether you're shopping, dining, or catching a movie, there's something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the diverse food options. With so many stalls to choose from, deciding what to eat can be a delightful challenge!

Went here with my friends after going to a live house. They have a Christmas market right now with food stalls and souvenir stands outside. It is worth checking out if you're planning on going to Amu Plaza or Kumamoto station.

This AMU PLAZA is superb! There a lot of restaurants, good places and great shopping products. You can also enjoy the indoor falls. Also, their new Nintendo Store is great where they feature Super Mario.

The staff at the tax refund counter was rude and unprofessional. They also charge a 3.3% processing fee, which is acceptable for the entire store but not highly recommended.

Lots of food, stores and choices here. Very modern and new. Was so surprised how nice it all looked. Right next to the station to make easy shopping and they have a CINNABON!!!

A huge shopping mall with two blocks. Plenty of parking lots (Both indoor and outdoor). Supermarket, food court, drug store, taito station, namco and department stores available.

me and my childhood friends bough vegetables, shrimp,scallops and razors my friend ' husband cooked this the taste is awesome

Great mall to shop with many options and many food options. Also it is in a convenient location.

This is one of the 3 biggest shopping malls in Kumamoto prefectures! It has 2 large buildings linked by a walkway and has enough shops for a good time. Lots of food options and if you live in northern Kumamoto, this is the place to satisfy the shopping itch.

Kind of a basic mall. The movie theater is great and it's got two sets of crane games often with different prizes on opposite ends. Mostly clothing with a few odds and ends to be found. Large Uniqlo.

Very good friendly atmosphere and no problem about parking they have big parking

Great place to shop and eat

Kitagawa Tenmeidou is a shop you must visit if you are in the area for dessert lovers. Wagashis, beautifully crafted into seasonal motifs, entices the eyes first then swiftly melts in your mouth; and makes one think, ah, this must be how happiness tastes like. You almost don't want to eat them because they are so pretty. The chocolate Swiss roll fluffy and filled with a light cream, with some cocoa nibs within; the pudding smooth and silky with a fragrant caramel sauce which was not too sweet; a perfect match with black coffee / matcha. Unfortunately we could not try everything in one seating. We however managed picked up souvenirs and their strawberry daifuku, sake castella cake, and several others for takeaway. All are outstanding. The goods are freshly made, one should observe the expiry dates that are clearly shown. They also offer wagashi classes for those who are interested. Very friendly and helpful grandma and daughter!

Not just a lovely Japanese sweets and cake shop. You can also do a really fun and memorable wagashi making experience here! We got to make 2 different nerikiri wagashi and had a display of wagashi making from Mr Kitagawa (the master of the shop) then enjoyed his beautiful wagashi with matcha tea. Mr Kitagawa's daughter can speak Spanish and English so it was very easy to make a booking. (Just send an email through the website)

Super delicious wagashi, tea and cakes, as well as lots of pre-packaged desserts and gift sets to take home. They have a lovely tea room in the back where you can eat as well. I also did the wagashi class and it was amazing! A master craftsman with 50 years experience teaches you how to make two wagashi based on seasonal shapes. Takes about an hour and you get to have some there and take what you made home. Super great experience, would recommend (they can also translate to English and Spanish)

We had cheesecake and short cake with tea and took some wagashi home. Everything was really good. The place offers wagashi workshops.

Peaceful and delicious dessert!

I paid with some 1 yen coins, but the staff refused to receive 1 yen coin and I was requested to pay with 100 yen coin. I couldn't understand the situation.

Delicious treats and fun wagashi workshop!

It is located inside the tourist agency, and seems to have everything Kumamoto and Kumamon related. You can shop for all your gifts and souvenirs here. Everywhere you see the mascot, on tshirts, socks, sweets, pens and belts etc Of course there are the usual mugs and magnets and stickers etc Prices are okay for the place, and there is even a food kiosk featuring, yes you guessed it, Kumamon.

We visited Kumamon Village during our time in Kumamoto and it was such a cute and cheerful stop, especially for fans of Kumamon. It’s located on the second floor of the Sakura-machi Kumamoto shopping complex, right next to the bus terminal and tourist information center, so it was really easy to find. The space isn’t very big, but it’s packed with Kumamon-themed fun. As soon as we walked in, we were surrounded by shelves of plush toys, snacks, keychains, stationery, and all sorts of adorable souvenirs. Prices were a little on the higher side, but that’s to be expected for official character goods. They even had a ranking chart for the most popular items, which helped us decide what to bring home. We ended up buying more than we planned! There’s a small café corner where you can grab Kumamon-shaped soft-serve ice cream and other themed treats. We didn’t try everything, but the soft serve was fun to look at and surprisingly tasty too. We had hoped to catch the live Kumamon performance, but unfortunately the timing didn’t work out and we missed it. It’s something we’d definitely try to catch next time—I’ve heard the shows are really entertaining and even non-Japanese speakers enjoy them. Overall, it was a fun and lighthearted stop. We probably spent about 30 to 45 minutes browsing, shopping, and enjoying the atmosphere. If you’re in Kumamoto and like cute character goods (or have kids with you), it’s definitely worth a visit—even if just for the photos and snacks.

The place for Kumamon merch! This and The Kumamon square has alot of things with Kumamon on it.

Little Kumamon shop in a mall, if you like Kumamon this place has almost anything you could want! A bit pricy but worth it for Kumamon!

It's only a shop. Don't call it a village. Only souvenirs and items using kumamon imagery. Disappointing.

We have a wide range of products available. It's nice to see.

(Translated by Google) I went to Kumamon Village and met Kumamon! Kumamon was even cuter than I imagined, and he was so energetic and soothing ♡ There are plenty of photo opportunities and merchandise to choose from, so it's a great place to enjoy with family and friends!

Worst experience in Japan. I wanted to use the currency exchange to get yens so i came to use the currency machine. It was stated as open on google maps but because the shop closed before, it seems they closed at 18h00 without warning. Finally a staff opened it and i tried to exchange my money from my credit card. Even when there was a card slot on the machine, it didn't work. When i asked the staff for help, she said it was not possible, checked for an other in the area and said there was no currency exchange opened. So i asked if i could exchange directly at the store. She answered that she would check outside with me. Suddenly as i was going outside, she locked the door from inside without saying a word, no explanation. I had been all the time polite, just trying to buy the currency exchange i needed, but this store staff gave it back by being so disrespectful. If you think respect is the bare minimum, please don't even try to come to this store.

(Translated by Google) We have all the products from Kumamoto, but since the area tends to get hot, it is best to avoid frozen products if possible. The same items are also sold at Sakuramachi Bus Terminal and Kumamoto Station, so we recommend buying items that don't need to be kept cold there, and then buying the items you don't have at the station or bus terminal so they don't end up in your luggage. (Original) 熊本土産が揃っていますが、暑くなりやすい場所なので冷凍物はできればやめた方が良いです。 桜町バスターミナルや熊本駅にも同じ物を売っているので、保冷が必要ない物をこちらで買って、買い足りなかった物を駅やバスターミナルで購入した方が荷物にもならないのでおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) We have a wide selection of Kumamoto souvenirs. There are also spots where you can take photos with Kumamon. (Original) 熊本の土産が勢揃いします。くまモンとの撮影ができるスポットもあります。

Atsuage Kurobuta roast-katsu zen is superb. Katsu is tender and juicy with the right amount of fat to meat ratio. White rice is fluffy and goes very well with the katsu. Only downside is the cabbage which isn’t as juicy and refreshing.

I was really skeptical before dining as the reviews were mixed. Came at 445pm and there’s still a queue. Waited for about 30 mins for the table and 20 mins for food. Theres plenty of empty seats but not enough staff to clear the tables and move the queue. There’s also 150 yen difference between English menu and Japanese menu. So we referred to the Japanese menu. The meat was surprisingly tender and melt in your mouth. Wasn’t expecting the tenderness. Worth the experience if you don’t mind waiting. Come early! And by 8pm all the queue slots would have been snapped up

I give this restaurant 5 out of 5 stars. I ordered menu 1, the classic pork loin tonkatsu set. The cutlet itself is outstanding. The coating is very crisp and light, but not hard, and the meat inside is juicy, tender and full of clean pork flavour. There is a gentle richness from the fat, but it never becomes heavy. This is the kind of tonkatsu that reminds you why this dish can be a favourite for years. What makes the meal truly special is everything that comes with it and the way you are guided to eat it. You receive a bowl with sesame seeds and a small wooden pestle. Grinding the sesame at the table already smells wonderful. When you mix these freshly ground seeds with the house Japanese Wafu sauce, you get a deep, nutty and slightly fruity tonkatsu sauce that clings perfectly to the meat. Add a little of the sharp yellow mustard horseradish and the flavour opens up even more. One bite of pork with this sesame Wafu sauce and mustard already feels very complete. The cabbage salad on the side is very finely shredded and extremely fresh. It gives crunch and lightness to every bite. I used the yuzu dressing for the cabbage. This dressing has a bright citrus aroma, gentle acidity and a little sweetness, so it cuts through the richness of the pork and keeps the meal balanced. Rice and miso soup complete the set. The rice is glossy, sticky in the right way and seasoned just enough by the sauces you let drip onto it. The miso soup is on the darker side, pleasantly salty, with a comforting depth rather than just plain broth. There are also Japanese pickles and grated daikon on the table. The pickles bring a classic sour and salty contrast. Even if you do not eat many of them, they show how carefully the set is put together. The grated daikon works beautifully with the sauces and with the pork if you want a fresher, lighter bite. The variety of condiments on the table lets you create many different versions of tonkatsu during one meal, from rich and sweet to bright and sharp, and all of them work. The atmosphere is warm and cosy with dark wood tables and all the bottles and small pots arranged in front of you. It feels like a place that takes tonkatsu very seriously but still stays relaxed. The staff are incredibly efficient and kind at the same time. Tables are cleaned and reset almost immediately, orders move from kitchen to guests with impressive speed, and still the servers remain attentive and friendly. You can feel that the whole team knows exactly what they are doing. This meal reminded me why tonkatsu used to be my absolute favourite food and it brought that feeling back completely. Perfectly fried meat, carefully chosen sauces, fresh sides and a very professional but warm service. For anyone who loves tonkatsu or wants to understand how good it can be, this restaurant is an essential visit.

Absolutely worth the wait! Although the queue usually takes around an hour, I was lucky to get a seat within 20 minutes. The tonkatsu was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside — one of the best I’ve ever had in Japan. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves authentic tonkatsu!

The Tonkatsu served here is absolutely delicious, the pork cutlet is cooked just right retaining the softness and juiciness on the inside with a light crispy batter on the outside 😋 You must try this if you are in Kumamoto!

So good that we didn't even take pictures. Free tea refills (there's a carafe at your table). Free Cabbage, miso, and rice refills. The tenderloin donkatsu was the best since we liked the leaner cut and more meat. The yuzu sherbert was really refreshing and Fruity, pretty icy tho. My boyfriend liked the black sesame ice cream because it was so creamy and reminded him of oreo ice cream. They were extremely busy and were a bit slow with us due to the heavy flow of patrons. But overall it was great service and lots of English menu options and speakers. Making the sauce was fun the Japanese style

Went for lunch. There was a queue, but it moved fast. Note that lunch sets are only in the Japanese menu. The Roppaku Kurubuta lunch set is more expensive than the other lunch sets, but it was worth it. It was the best tonkatsu I’ve ever had—it almost felt like the wagyu beef of pork. The cutlet was very crisp, while the fillet had just the right amount of fat

Date visited end June 2025. Google map said I have reached but I didn’t see any sign. It is actually inside the same building as the shopping Centre which is located next to shopping arcade. A very small shop selling Kumamoto signature stuffs. A small stage where the bear mascot will perform at 11 and at 2pm. Enter into the shopping malls and you can see directions to reach this small shop. A very small place - in less than five minutes I am done. Things aren’t that cheap either. Kids may like it to dance with the bear. I walked around basements of the shopping malls instead to enjoy the aircon when it is so hot outside.

Come here to meet the famous mascot of Kumamoto, a black bear called Kumamon. Pokemon is yellow, Kumamon is black ... Obviously. Please check the time schedule if you want to see the live kumamon show.

I stumbled upon this charming little shop tucked away in a quiet Japanese alley. The space is tiny, but it's absolutely packed from floor to ceiling with exquisite traditional crafts and unique souvenirs—a true feast for the eyes. You can feel the artisan's dedication in every single piece. However, be prepared for the prices. They are quite high, reflecting the incredible quality and artistry. The shop is also very narrow, so it can feel a bit cramped with just a few customers inside. It's the perfect spot to find a truly special keepsake, but not ideal for budget souvenir hunting.

Hordes of tourists come here to see the Kumamon show, which is more suited for kids. If you want to catch the show, be sure to check the schedule and start lining up at least 30 mins early if you want a front row spot. Outside of the show times, it feels like a generic tourist/souvenir shop.

Watching Kumamon was a really nice experience. It was fun and I was like a kid again. Worth the wait.

It's not a square. It's a SMALL store. The merchandise sold here can be found elsewhere at a much cheaper price. The only interesting thing about this place is they have kumamon on stage at certain timings. This would be great for kids to greet kumamon, I supposed.

We went to a 2pm show and it was packed. Sure, we werent kids and didnt have small kids with us nor did we speak japanese. But it was fun! The show was, i think about half an hour at least. With a lot of merch available. And a souvenir stamp as well!

Kumamoto is a beautiful and peaceful city. Been here and i was in love with how nice everything feels. I wish i could come back with more time. The station is beautiful, full of history and culture and delicious treats to take them as Omiyage.

Kumamoto Station is not far from the city center. It takes about 10 minutes by taxi and 20 minutes by tram. Dining, shopping and transport options are plentiful in and around the station. A market with souvenir and food stalls is located inside the station. In front of the Shirakawa (East) Exit is a shopping mall and an electronics store. There's also a tram stop, a taxi stand, and bus stops for the airport limousine, local & long distance buses. There is another taxi stand at the West Exit, which is closer to the Shinkansen ticket gates and platforms.

Visited in July 2025 This main train station is located at the edge of the downtown and it's separated by some distance from the core commercial district area of K̶u̶m̶a̶m̶o̶n̶ ̶C̶i̶t̶y̶ Kumamoto. To get to there, such as the castle district, one can take a tram ride from a stop in front of the station. It's served not only by a shinkansen line, but also a few conventional train lines, going outward to all directions (north, south, as well as to the east all the way to Aso and Oita). The station itself is easy to navigate since all of the platforms are aligned in parallel manner. There's also an interesting cluster of eateries, some sell interesting items like horse meat dishes, and souvenir shops just outside the turnstile (caution: it's all Kumamon LOL, what do you expect). AFAIK there's no coin locker right in front of these turnstiles and one is located inside this tourist information center.

Nice displays @ Kumamoto station. The tram near Kumamoto Station would take you to Kumamoto Castle or other attractions in Kumamoto. 180 yen per ride.

JR Kumamoto Station may be small, but it’s full of charm and interesting things to see. Right away, you’re greeted by Kumamon, Kumamoto’s iconic bear mascot—he’s everywhere, adding a fun and playful vibe to the station. The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming. There are plenty of restaurants and food stalls, making it a great spot to grab a bite. It’s also a convenient place to shop for souvenirs before heading out. During our visit, we were lucky to catch a live performance by a high school band just outside the station—an unexpected and delightful experience that made our stop even more memorable.

I think 'Kumamoto Station' is a very unique station. Its platforms 4, 5 (dead end), and 6 use the same island platform. The same platform style is used for platforms 1, 2 (dead end), and 3. It was the first time I saw such a style of the platform.

Between castle towers and volcanic ash, Kumamoto stands proud and patient. The city glows golden at sunset; trams rattle gently through tree-lined streets. The Shinkansen slides in like a brushstroke on old paper — soft yet strong. Here, history and courage share the same breath. Tourist Tip: Transfer to trams for Kumamoto Castle and Suizenji Garden. Try horse sashimi, spicy lotus root, and basashi ramen. A city rebuilt after the 2016 earthquake — resilient and welcoming.

Ramen taste normal, char siew so thin. The broth too salty. Gyoza was ordinary. Everything is ordinary but still edible.

Trying THE Kumamoto ramen and the place wasn’t crowded on a Wednesday evening. Saw the 3.9 star rating and decided on this place over the 3.6 star for a somewhat similar ramen offering. The ramen had a depth in flavor thanks to the black garlic and they also had spicy options. They had an option to add on the set for like 500¥ with white rice and 800¥ with fried rice. You can also choose gyoza or fried pork for sides. If you are going as a couple, I would recommend getting one set to share as you can see their portions are huge! It’s located just off the shopping arcade area so it’s easy to find - parking is fairly expensive in this part of town so we parked around a 8min walk from this store and it costs us only 100¥ for 50mins compared to the 100¥ for 20 mins nearby. Take your pick of ramen from this street as there are so many choices. Choose what you fancy, but we wanted to try the local ramen.

Dived into the food and forgot to take a photo first, it smelled too good and it was delicious! The soup has an appetite opening sesame possibly garlic infused scent, the soup is not thick like hakata tonkotsu- it was light and soupy, on the saltier side and full of flavour. The cuts of meat were thick and generous. We enjoyed it! Very affordable and delicious meal ☺️ also had the fried rice which had very good flavour and strong wok hei- exactly how you’d want fried rice to taste! Staff could tell we were tourists! After ordering at the vending machine they directed us to our seat where they had placed ice cold cups of black tea for us, thought it was such a thoughtful gesture 🥰

The soup is very very salty. The portion is big. It is not really tasty but can make you full. I guess that’s the style of Kumamoto ramen. If working in hard labor all day long and starving, I would appreciate this kind of food more.

Kumamoto Ramen as its finest. Its rich, creamy, salty and garlicky. They've got big portions and will definitely fill you up. The meat is fatty and thick. They chahan has wok flavor hence smoky and fluffy.

Excellent ramen, possibly one of the best in Japan. Highly recommend to try Kumamoto ramen in this restaurant! Service also top notch! 🤩💪🏼

We went there by chance because we were actually on the way to a Sushi place but changed our mind. However it was a good decision. The broth was tonkotsu based with dark roasted garlic oil ,it was really delicious. Recommended! The staff was great too.

The soft ice cream with azuki beans was simply fabulous! The store has so many goodies that will make your heart swells with joy.

Must try red bean softserve. You can still find red bean bits there. Do observe how they make the softserve.

A must visit for tourists. Nice souvenir shops and restaurants on the premises.

Too sweet for an ice cream

(Translated by Google) This is a famous shop for Kumamoto's famous sweets Jindaiko and Mushaotoshi. I was curious about the Jintaiko soft serve, so I asked for it, and to my surprise, they had cut up real Jintaiko and mixed it into the soft serve ice cream! It's quite shocking, but it's definitely called Jintaiko Soft. . Of course it tasted delicious. The sweetness of the red bean paste and the texture of the gyuhi were good, giving it a taste typical of a Japanese sweets shop. However, I like the texture of jindaiko, so I want to eat soft serve ice cream and jindaiko separately. If you buy Jintaiko alone, it costs 216 yen, so you can eat it for less than half the price of Jintaiko soft serve. (Original) 熊本銘菓の陣太鼓と武者落としの名店です。 陣太鼓ソフトが気になって頼んでみたところ、まさかの本物の陣太鼓を切ってソフトクリームに混ぜていました！ なかなかに衝撃的ですが、確かに陣太鼓ソフトと言ってるし。。味はもちろん美味しかったです。あんこの甘さと求肥の食感がよく、和菓子屋さんらしい味でした。 ただ私は陣太鼓としての食感が好きなので、ソフトクリームと陣太鼓は別に食べたいタイプです。 陣太鼓単品なら216円なので、陣太鼓ソフトの半額以下で食べられます。

(Translated by Google) If you come to Kumamoto, I recommend trying this Jintaiko ice cream! The rich red bean soft serve ice cream has a smooth texture, and there are mochi and beans hidden inside, which is a surprise for adults and children. It is sweet but not greasy, and you will want to have another cup after eating it~ The overall experience is great, recommended for people who like Japanese desserts! (Original) 來熊本推薦試試這家的陣太鼓冰淇淋！ 香濃紅豆霜淇淋口感滑順，裡面竟然還藏有麻糬和豆類，一口一個驚喜，大人小孩都愛吃。 甜而不膩，吃完會想再來一杯～ 整體體驗很棒，推薦給喜歡日式甜點的人！

(Translated by Google) I went to try the Jindaiko soft serve ice cream. You can eat it inside the air-conditioned shop. Unlike the local soft serve ice cream you'd find at a service area, this one feels like it was developed specifically for the menu. It was not too sweet, but had a strong red bean flavor and contained mochi rice cakes. It was also very filling, so I was very satisfied. (Original) 陣太鼓ソフトを食べに行きました。 冷房が効いた店内で食べることもできます。 SAなどにあるご当地ソフトと違って、ちゃんとそのメニューのために開発した感がある。 甘さ控えめながら、小豆の風味が効いており、餅も入っていた。 ボリュームもたっぷりで大満足でした。

(Translated by Google) This is a building that houses multiple facilities! There is a plaza hall, a library, and a childcare room. Convenient and easy access from Kumamoto Station 😄 (Original) 複数の施設が入った建物です！ プラザホール、図書館などがあり、託児室もあります。 熊本駅からのアクセスも良くて便利です😄

(Translated by Google) The facility was clean and easy to use. (Original) 施設が綺麗で利用しやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) I took a walk around Kumamoto Moritoshin Plaza and Kumamoto Station⤴️I think it opens on April 23rd, but most of it was completed🏢🏫⛲🅿🚄☺️Big Camera and Amu Plaza buildings too. It was ready and we were just waiting for it to open. I've been living in Kumamoto for over 50 years, but Kumamoto's main areas are Shinshigai, Shimotori, and Kamidori, and the development around Kumamoto Station has lagged behind. I am happy to see that the Kumamoto station building and the area around the station are finally becoming more vibrant after Kagoshima and Nagasaki have surpassed them ☺ From now on, more improvements will be made around the station and Kumamoto, the center of Kyushu, will develop. I’m praying for you⤴️⤴️⤴️☺ (Original) くまもと森都心プラザ、熊本駅前周辺を散策してきましたよ⤴️4月に23日がオープンだと思いますが、ほとんどの部分が出来上がっていました🏢🏫⛲🅿🚄よ☺️ビッグカメラやアミュプラザのビルも出来上がっており、開店を待つだけの状況でした。熊本で生きてきて50数年経ちましたが、熊本は新市街、下通、上通がメインで、中々熊本駅周辺の開発が遅れていました。鹿児島や長崎に先を越され、やっと熊本駅ビルや駅前周辺が華やかになって行くのを嬉しく思っています☺これから、もっと駅前周辺の整備が行われ九州の中心である熊本が発展して行く事を祈っています⤴️⤴️⤴️☺

(Translated by Google) Finally arrived! 40 minutes late. Live shows are always like this. (Original) やっと着いた！40分遅れ ライブはいつもなります。

(Translated by Google) I used the hall. It was clean, bright and had a sense of freedom. I gave it 4 stars because I was impressed when I looked at the station front from above, which has changed a lot from the old days. I thought the piano in the hall was small, but it might fit the capacity. The keyboard seemed heavy, probably because it was new. (Original) ホールを利用しました 綺麗で明るく解放感あり。昔と随分変わった駅前を上から眺めて感動したので星４つ。ホールのピアノちっちゃ…と思いましたがキャパには合ってるかもしれません。新しいのか鍵盤重たいようでした。

(Translated by Google) It is written as Moritoshin and pronounced as Shintoshin. If you go up the escalator with Kumamon on it (a staircase famous for its Instagram photos) on the grounds of Kumamoto Station, it will connect you to a long overpass that leads up to (Kumamoto Moritoshin Plaza), so you can easily find the location. I understand, but•••. It's a pretty tall building so it's a little mysterious! It's a building. If you go from inside the Kumamoto Station premises, you will enter Kumamoto Moritoshin from the 2nd floor. On that floor, there is a cafeteria and a lot of pamphlets about hot spots in Kumamoto Prefecture, which you can freely take home. There was a library on the other floor. It's a fine building that looks like a public facility and I don't know much about it. I think the area around the new Kumamoto Station will become the second central area in the near future. I've taken some photos so I'll post them here for your reference. (Original) 森都心と書いて（しんとしん）と読みます。 熊本駅の敷地内にある、（インスタ映えで有名な階段）くまモンが描かれているエスカレーターで上がって行くと（くまもと森都心プラザ）まで続いている長い陸橋と繋がっているので場所はすぐにわかりますが•••。 結構高いビルなのでちょっと謎！なビルです。 熊本駅敷地内側から行くと2Fからくまもと森都心に入るようになってました。 その階には、食堂と熊本県内のホットスポットのパンフレットがたくさんあって、自由に持ち帰りが出来ます。 他の階には図書室がありました。 後は公共施設みたいになっていてあまりよくわからない立派なビルです。 新しくなった熊本駅周辺が近い将来に第2中心街になって行くのかなとも思えます。 一応撮影してきたので載せておきますのでご参考にして下さい。

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time, but I guess the timing was bad, so I waited about 20 minutes after I specified the cake and before I paid. Even though it was Sunday afternoon, there were only two employees. Even though I only cut two cakes, I felt tired. The taste was delicious. (Original) 初めて行きましたが、タイミングが悪かったようでケーキを指定してからお会計まで20分ほど待ちました。日曜日の昼過ぎだったのに店員さんが2人しかおらず。カットケーキ２つだけなのになんだか疲れました。味は美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The cakes, chocolates, macarons, etc. were delicious, but I don't think it's good to have quality control that betrays customers. The apology for the falsified expiration date (though it was a comment from the store owner who was just making excuses) disappeared from the website in less than half a year, leaving only the voluntary recall notice and no explanation of any subsequent improvement measures. I wonder if it's too much for the throat... (Original) ケーキ、ショコラ、マカロンなど美味しかったのですが、顧客を裏切るような品質管理はよろしくないですね。この賞味期限偽装についてのお詫び（言い訳ばかりの店主のコメントでしたが）もわずか半年足らずですっかりWebsiteから消え、自主回収のお知らせが残っているのみで、その後の改善策についても何も説明はありません。のど元過ぎればなんとやら・・なんでしょうか。

Great place for shopping and for options of various restaurants with delicious menus. Prices are reasonable. Good for tourists to explore.

Love ittt especially the music storeee

Market is big ~ many choice too .

Great place. Nice improvement to shimotori. Red Cross on the 5th floor- now you know+ go donate some blood. They also have the best snacks.

It's a new mall in Kumamoto. It's not that big like most department store, but has 4 floors with various stores in it. It has one floor dedicated for MUJI (brand), one of the most complete MUJI Store I have found so far (they have the MUJI book store and cafe).

Quite new shopping mall in Shimotori, downtown Kumamoto, with variety of stores. Basement: supermarket with a wide variety of products, including imported ones. Really nice alcohol section! 1st floor: a Brioche Dore cafe and clothing stores. 2nd floor: beauty products, clothing. 3rd floor: nice stationary store, clothes, Japanese items, Yogibo (those huge body pillows, bean bags) 4th floor: Muji store with a Muji café where you can have a really nice lunch set. 5th floor: blood bank and a cooking studio.

New! I love it, a lot of stores but the best would be muji! The public toliets are great hahahah. Not as busy as it's still new.

Typical mall. Extremely crowded on weekends. Plenty of parking. But if your covid sensitive, you may want to avoid this place. A potential cluster hot zone in the making.

You'll find many shops in Yume Town. But during the weekends and during sale season, it's very difficult to find a parking spot.

Beautiful Kimono store. Oversize menswear. Cinema and restaurants/coffee.

I love this mall. Its not huge, but there is a decent variety of stores in it .

It is beyond me why this place is so packed.

Environment is clean, has lots of shops n staff r kind there, too.

Many restaurants to choose from! #ohdisisgreat

It's kind of unique place for me, I can smells from many kinds of food 😋 and also beautiful roses 🌹 😍 in here.

(Translated by Google) Parking is free. I went there thinking I could do a factory tour, but Even though it's a holiday, it's not moving at all. I got the impression that I just walked around without being able to see anything. I went shopping at a store that had vegetables, meat, and fish, and then went home. I went there when there was a flea market going on, and I thought the prices were very cheap. I get the impression that there are a lot of things especially for children. Well, I guess I didn't have to come all the way from far away. (Original) 駐車場は無料。 工場見学ができると思って行ったけど、 休日なのに全く動いていない。 何も見ることができずにただ歩いただけという印象。 野菜や肉、魚が置いてあるお店にて買い物をして帰りました。 フリーマーケットが行われている時に行きましたが、とても激安だと思いました。特に子供のものは多い印象。 まぁ遠くからわざわざ来なくてもよかったのかなって思いました。

I found some delicious-looking honey ice cream in the park, so I ate it while admiring the roses. As expected, I didn't see any blue roses😅 I heard that it is impossible to make blue roses. However, when there is an exhibition, they sometimes make blue roses. As for how to make it, it was said that if you let the child drink blue ink for about a week, a blue rose would be created. (Original) バラ🌹園 2024.5.5 日曜日は久し振りにバラ園に出掛けました。 見頃は既に過ぎていましたが、まだまだ綺麗はバラが咲き誇っていました。 園内で美味しそうな蜂蜜ソフトを見つけたので、そのソフトを食べながらバラの鑑賞をしました。 やはり、青いバラは見かけませんでした😅 青いバラはどうしても作れないとの話を聞きました。しかし、展示会がある時は青いバラを作る時があるそうです。 作り方は、何と1週間くらい青のインクを飲ませると青色バラが出来上がるとのことでした。

(Updated in January 2023) Locally grown vegetables are also sold at the fresh market, as well as some seafood and meat. A few souvenirs too. Nagata Bread also has a small restaurant, where you can buy bread at a good price. Delicious ice cream is also sold at the Sugi Bee Garden, and you can sample honey as well. There is also a plaza with a nice view, and the rose season is beautiful. You can also take a walk. That's a good place! There was no trace of the White Lady's sales office anymore. It's a shame. On sunny days, you can see the countryside, and children can play in the square.

(Translated by Google) I came here for the first time in a while❗I felt it had become quite lonely. I used to come here often when Keika Ramen was still there, but it's sad that it's less lively than before and there are hardly any stores open. I wonder if this is also the effect of COVID-19. There were quite a few people at Sugi Bee Farm, a famous honey store. The honey soft serve ice cream was delicious😆🎵🎵 (Original) 久しぶりに来ました❗だいぶん寂しくなってると感じました。桂花ラーメンがあったころ迄は、ちょくちょく来てたんだけど、昔より活気もなく開いている店舗もほとんどなく悲しかぎりですこれもコロナの影響ですかね、蜂蜜で有名店の杉養蜂園は、なかなか人がいました。ハチミツのソフトクリーム旨かったです😆🎵🎵

The ambiance is perfect - soft lighting, comfortable seating create an inviting atmosphere that is ideal for unwinding or catching up with friends. The staff are friendly and skilled. However, it's worth noting that the drink sizes are on the smaller side especially for cold drinks, which might leave you craving more. They have limited food to choose from but it was delicious. Despite this, the quality of foods and drinks and delightful environment make it a spot worth visiting.

A cafe with a very cute aesthetic. It is inside the Kamitori Shopping Arcade. This place is a great place to just chill with friends and loved ones. I ordered the Iced Latte. Taste wise it was okay. But would definitely come back for the ambiance.

I just love this coffe spot in Kumamoto. Been there before and it is always nice to sit in the outside area :).had the best japanese parfait 😍🌿 and great matcha Latte & cappuccino 💛

An unexpected pleasant surprise right at the heart of Kamitoricho. Cozy & quiet cafe with delicious drinks! Ordered the matcha & late and they were great!

I’ve been wanting to go to this cafe for a long time. Today I did it. You make your order at the counter. If you choose drop coffee; they have three kinds of coffee beans to chose from. I ordered Brazilian coffee. Not acidic and tastes good. I got banana pound cake; it tastes as a homemade banana cake but the portion is very small. If you are lactose intolerant they offer soy milk for 100¥extra. The cafe is kinda big. It has front sitting, inside, outside and a roof sitting area. The inside area has an AC (not strong, which is good). What I did not like is that the outside area and roof don’t have even a fan ( with Kumamoto humid weather it is just impossible). They offer wifi but it works just in the inside area where the counter is.

One of the loveliest cafes I’ve been to in Kyushu while on holiday. The cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating options. It is whimsical and relaxing! Service was friendly with a smile for us. The matcha latte was also excellent.

Lovely cafe; great inviting atmosphere created from the big windows and adverts for yoga outside. Service was extremely friendly - staff switching between Japanese and English was really accommodating. Plenty of space inside and outside, and nice options for drinks. Would be great to see more veggie and vegan food options. What I loved most was the feeling of community here. It felt like the patrons and staff knew each other well and had established positive relationships.

(Translated by Google) We are visiting [Ivorish Sakuramachi Kumamoto] located in the basement of Sakuramachi Kumamoto, Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City. The stylish wood-like interior gives a sense of cleanliness. There are multiple tables in the store, and there is a sense of distance between the seats, so you can feel safe. order ・Bacon, lettuce, tomato, egg sandwich → 1078 yen tax included I chose this because it was listed as the most popular menu item. It comes with a drink, so I chose orange juice. The plate also comes with fries! Salty and delicious! The bread may look sweet, but it's finished with a salty taste, so you can enjoy it without any hesitation, and it's surprisingly filling. It looks beautiful, so there are a lot of customers from the young age group! lol Sometimes it's fun to have lunch at a stylish restaurant like this! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal. (Original) 熊本市中央区サクラマチクマモトの地下にある【Ivorish 桜町熊本】にお邪魔です。 スタイリッシュなウッド調の店内が清潔感を感じます。 店内は複数のテーブル席がありお席とお席の距離感があり安心です。 オーダー ・ベーコン・レタス・トマト・たまごサンド→1078円税込 1番人気メニューと書いてありましたので、こちらにしました。 一緒にドリンクが付いてますので、オレンジジュースにしました。 プレートには一緒にポテトフライも付いてます！塩が効いてて美味い！ 見た目、甘そうなパンですが塩味で仕上がってますので抵抗無く頂けますし、ボリュームも意外にあります。 見た目が綺麗なんで、やはり若い年齢層のお客さんが多いです！笑 たまにはこういうオシャレなお店でランチも楽しいです！美味しかったです！ご馳走さまでした。

(Translated by Google) The interior of the restaurant is spacious and you can eat in a relaxed manner. The staff are nice. Plain French toast has just the right amount of sweetness. It's good that the fresh cream that comes with it is not sweet. Organic coffee has less bitterness and is easier to drink. (Original) 店内は広々していて落ち着いて食べられる。 店員さんは感じがよい。 プレーンフレンチトーストは、甘さがほどよい。 付け合わせの生クリームが甘くないのがGood。 オーガニックコーヒーは苦味が少なく飲みやすい。

(Translated by Google) It hasn't been long since they opened, so I get the impression that things aren't going well inside the store, but I think it's best to wait patiently. The wait staff was cute and the French toast was crispy and delicious. I bought the cookies 🍪 sold at the store as a souvenir for work, and the girls loved them. (Original) オープンして日が浅く、店内が上手く回っていない印象ですが、そこは気長に待った方がいいと思います。 給仕のスタッフは可愛く、フレンチトーストはサクサク感が出ていて美味しかったです。 店頭で売っているクッキー🍪を会社用のお土産に買いましたが、女の子に評判でした。

(Translated by Google) There seemed to be insects in the salad that came with it, and it had a strange taste when I ate it. When I took it out immediately and checked it, I could see the legs and wings of an insect about 5mm in diameter. I couldn't eat any more salad, so I had French toast and grilled chicken. As soon as you finish eating, the waiter will take your plate away! He called out to me, didn't even wait for my reply, and was cleaned up in no time, so I couldn't even talk to him about bugs. I couldn't say it because I didn't have any evidence and I didn't want to make a request now, but I'm going to write about it here because it was a big shock. It may be unavoidable that leafy vegetables get insects, but is it okay to lower the plate? I would have liked to have been told this before doing so. (Original) 付け合せのサラダに虫が混入していたようで、食べた際に異様な味がしました。すぐに出して確認しましたところ、5mm程の虫の脚と羽根が確認できました。それ以上サラダは食べることができず、フレンチトーストとチキングリルを食べました。食べ終わってすぐ、店員さんがお皿お下げします！と声をかけてこられ、私の返事も待たず、あっという間に片付けられ、虫の話をする事もできませんでした。証拠のお皿もなく、今更申し出るのもなぁと思ったので言えませんでしたが、ショックが大きいので、こちらに記載します。葉野菜に虫が付くのは仕方の無い事かもしれませんが、お皿をさげるときは、よろしいでしょうか？と声をかけてからにしていただきたかったです。

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed delicious French toast in a stylish space. The plate was large with salad and soup. The store clerk didn't seem to be used to it yet, so it took a long time, so that's a minus. (Original) おしゃれな空間で、美味しいフレンチトーストを楽しみました。プレートにサラダやスープで、ボリュームもありました。 店員さんが、まだ慣れてなかったようで時間がかかってたので、マイナス１です。

(Translated by Google) It's a relaxing restaurant with delicious French toast. The price is also reasonable Used as a meeting place (Original) フレンチトーストが美味しくて落ち着いたお店です 価格もお手頃です 待ち合わせ場所として利用しています

(Translated by Google) It takes about 10 minutes after paying for takeout! Isn't that strange? (I also told them that I would like to pay by credit card.) It never arrives when I order! I ended up complaining that I didn't have a bag to take home! It came with two forks, but that's probably not the case! It was extremely difficult to eat! Even if it's a part-time job, I want you to be thorough about the basics! (Original) テイクアウトの時支払い終わった後で10分位かかります！って　おかしく無いですか！（それもクレジット支払いでお願いしますって伝えてる) 注文の時なかなか来ない！　持ち帰りの袋無いと言い出す始末！フォーク２本入ってたけど　違うでしょう！　物凄く　食べにくかった！バイトだろうが　基本　徹底してほしいです！

Good mall. Many bakery and fast food shop.

Lovely mall that has a bit of everything.

Big Mall near farm area

Good to vist

(Translated by Google) "Yume Town" is a large-scale shopping center in the southern part of the country run by Izumi. There is no movie theater, etc., and it is a little smaller compared to Hamasu and Hikarinomori stores. There will be no traffic jams caused by entering or leaving the store on the entire road. There are a variety of stores such as supermarkets, clothing stores, and restaurants, but I feel that the Hikari no Hikari no Mori store lacks facilities that attract customers, such as Uniqlo, Muji, and Xebio. On the other hand, the Kumamoto City My Number Card Satellite Office, which was the purpose of my visit that day, has moved in. It's great that you can use it even on holidays. (Original) 上南部の大規模SCでイズミが展開する「ゆめタウン」です。 映画館等の入居は無く、はませんや光の森店と比べるとやや小規模ということもあって、 全面道路まで入退店による渋滞の影響が生じるということはありません。 スーパーマーケット、衣料品店、飲食店といった一通りの店舗はそろっていますが、光の光の森店にはあるユニクロ、無印、ゼビオといった集客の売りとなるような施設には弱い印象です。 一方でこの日の訪問の目的だった熊本市マイナンバーカードサテライトオフィスが入居し ており、休日も利用できるのはありがたいですね。

It's a simple clothing store. Any type of clothing you can find except kimonos and over-the-top dresses. I bought a cute winne the pooh pajama and it's really comfy. There is also a UNIQLO in Massanutten New York, but not in small towns in Virginia USA for all I know. From all the malls I went to in japan, theres a UNIQLO. simple, good quality clothes. The price depends on sold quantity. I haven't been to any UNIQLO in america so I cannot compare.

Big UNQLO shop with low price and high quality closes

(Translated by Google) Two of us visited at lunchtime. Perhaps because it was before noon, there were still seats available. A friendly female staff member served us. I had been here quite some time ago, and I remember the sauce having a strong cinnamon flavor, but this time it was just fine. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong? We ordered pork loin cutlet. The breadcrumbs were fine and not too sweet, and the meat itself didn't taste sweet. I don't mind paying a little more, but I'd like them to improve it so it tastes better. (Original) お昼に2名で来店。 まだ、12時前だからか席はまだ空いていた。 感じの良い女性スタッフがサービスしてくれました。 かなり前に来店したことがあり、記憶ではソースがシナモンが強かったようでしたが、今回は全然大丈夫でした。 記憶違いかも？ オーダーは、ロースカツ パン粉は、細かく甘さ控えめ、お肉も甘味を感じなかった。 もう少し高くても良いから 美味しく改善して欲しい

June 2025. It is connected to the Sakuramachi shopping mall. Pretty easy to find the terminals. To go airport, checking the time of airport bus, there is a bus ticketing counter on second floor and you can ask for timetable. Different schedules for Weekday and weekends. The way to terminals are very clearly marked on the second floor of the shopping area. Very well done. The ticket to airport, buy at the vending machine on the place where you line up for the bus.

Sakuramachi Bus Terminal, located in the heart of Kumamoto City, is a modern and well-organized transportation hub. Connected to the Sakuramachi Kumamoto shopping complex, it provides convenient access to various bus routes, including long-distance buses and local city lines. The terminal is a key transit point for travelers exploring Kumamoto Prefecture and beyond.

The Sakuramachi Bus Terminal felt very modern and clean (visit May 2023). It was conveniently located within a mall with everything you could need. There were many tasty restaurants in the basement and a lot of shops on the other floors. There was a Kumamoto food fair when I went in May 2023 with many famous Kumamoto pop up restaurants in the basement. The Kumamon Village was located in this building. The restrooms were clean and well maintained. The bus terminal is a few minutes walk to the Kumamoto Castle and the long distance buses allow you to go directly to Fukuoka.

I want to say big THANK YOU to 2 awesome and fantastic ladies at Sakuramachi Bus Information Desk (Ticket office) on 2nd floor... (I think one of them is the manager). Both are very kind, professional and helpful. I missed the last bus to Kurokawa Onsen while waiting in line at the wrong side, and both ladies were very kind and helpful. They help to figure out alternative way to kurokawa onsen, help to call my hotel there, the very kind manager even wrote down all the details for me. And they refunded my bus ticket even before I asked for it. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Decent. Only has one luggage storage area at the ground floor once you get off from the bus.

This bus terminus is under renovation but the facilities are still perfect. Most of the destination and timetable information are at the info centre in the middle of the station, and all buses are clearly marked and parked in the right place.

The main bus terminal in Kumamoto. The staff are very nice. Although some of them don't speak English, they will try to help you out. It is a walking distance to the Kumamoto Castle.

This coffee joint is a real specialty coffee shop. I’d tried Costa Rica hand drip coffee, latte and the red bean paste toast, and they are all perfect. Also the atmosphere is neat and delightful. If I’ll ever go to Kumamoto again, this is the only reason. Hats off to the owner/barista.

Nice little coffee shop along one of the side streets near our hotel. Breakfast meals were simple but tasty. We ordered a cheese toast with salad, and a red bean toast with butter. The coffee were aromatic and smooth and we can see how much effort and precision the 2 lady owners have put in effort to maintain it's standard. Definitely worth a visit though the price may be on the higher side for the local context, but certainly affordable considering the prices back in Adelaide.

Easy to find. The place is a quiet, renovated from an old house, with thoughtful touches. They’ve got a good selection of pour-over coffees, mostly light roasts, priced around 800-900 yuen. The Costa Rica one is impressive, starts with a slight tang, then blooms with bright coffee flavor. The latte was solid too, the milk they use is of high quality. We also ordered toast, worth trying.

A friend recommended this place. The hand-brewed coffee has a rich flavor.But latte is terrible. I brought a lot of beans for my friend and I. The store said buy one beans, get one free coffee. It actually said one order, get one coffee. I only realized that after looking back at the receipt. I'm not sure what the owner meant by that. I was disgusted. It's so vague, I might as well not give it away. My friends who recommended it to me were all shocked by this rule. It's better to buy less than more. I probably won't come back.

A superb coffee spot, wonderful coffee and a lovely chat with staff in English who told us about the origins of their coffee. Also they were able to make a very delicious Flat White despite it not being on the menu! 🙌

It's a fancy café with good tasting coffee and minimalistic furniture. I liked it even though I had different expectations. The cheese cake was delicious but sadly very small portioned as you can see in the picture.

finest dripped coffee place in Kumamoto City. valuable place to visit. coffee lover from HongKong said coffee barista's knowledge, explanation and listening manner was very comfortable and satisfied w while sitting and drinking at counter seat on the ground floor.

This is one of the biggest stores here in Kumamoto and you'll always find one next to one of the main stations of every city in Japan. They sell everything and at a good price.

The electronics store occupies the first three floors of JR Kumamoto Shirakawa Bldg. 1/F - smart phone & PC 2/F - TV & household appliance 3/F - camera & video game

It's honestly not a bad electronic store but incredibly small compared to their other chain locations.

All kinds of mobile phones and electric items are available at reasonable prices.

I wanted to buy a camera but was chased away by the staff and not allowed to see it.

Mr. ビラル was awesome! He saved us a ton of money and time, when we were just about to leave empty handed. I needed a new phone. We went to Bic and talked asked about a phone. A bunch of people talked and sent over some guy. He was like, yeah... You can get sim free phone and save 10,000 yen. when you sign up. We are like that's not a good deal. I can get cheaper over there. Okay let's go to the bathroom and leave. On the way out we look at one last sign summarizing all the LCC membership plans. Then ビラル comes over asks if we need help. Usually this annoys me, but I told him well, I was thinking of switching carriers today and getting a new phone. It's too bad that guy said it's only 10,000. ビラル spoke English to us. Said no way. The other employee was wrong or lazy or doesn't know what he was talking about. I could save 37,000 yen!!! And the deal was ending in 2 days. If I could get a phone that day I wanted to. My old one was broken. I was tired of Rakuten mobile, it's vert medicore, and was ready to switch now. He explaines all the details. We got some coffee so I could have a moment to make my final decision on which phone and plan I wanted. Came back and got the phone. Basically half price. Got a plan that I really like. Back with UQ mobile, which I like better than Rakuten (I had UQ once before). That's other idiot we talked lost any easy sale, and ビラル saved the day and saved me a ton of money.

Not as big as other Bic Camera stores in major cities.

Visited end Jun 2025. Mostly restaurants with grilled food. Couple of medical and cosmetic duty free shop. Two Macdonalds along the arcade. Two Starbucks and convenience stores. Not many Clothing shops. One electronic shop that displays mostly phone and accessories related. One animate shop which really offered quite a lot of animate stuffs. One big bookstore and a 100 jpy store on same building as the bookstore. Depending what you are looking for, it may take hours or minutes. I love the pastry from a store. The outer layer is so thin and crispy. My favorite snack. I didn’t like to walk on this arcade in the evening bcos I can smell oil in the arcade. Guess too many restaurants with grilled and fried stuffs and ventilation wasn’t that good. It gets better towards the other sections where fewer restaurants are available. By the way, most shops close at about 8 pm.

(Translated by Google) Kumamoto New Market Street Opposite the Kumamoto Sakuramachi Department Store, it forms a very easy business district. There is a hotel in Xinshi Street, and we have stayed there before. But last time came and went. This time I can get a glimpse of the Xinshi Street business district. Unfortunately, since it was the first day of the New Year, many shops were closed. 711 stores are open with a small number of stores. We came here especially to buy the sea bream pancakes. The pretzels in Asakusa and Osaka include red bean, custard, and sweet potato flavors, which are really delicious. There is also a drugstore open. If you buy some necessary health products and spend them in Japan, as long as the single purchase amount is 🈵5,000 yen, you can apply for a 10% tax refund with your foreign passport. It will then be packed in a special tax refund bag. Travelers should take care of themselves, and duty-free products should be brought back to their own countries for use. Never do anything illegal. Then I met a group of tourists from Taiwan on Xinshi Street, which was also a surprise. (Original) 熊本新市街 與熊本櫻町百貨公司對望，形成一個非常好逛的商圈。 新市街裡有一家飯店，我們之前也有來入住過。但上次來去匆匆。這次能一窺新市街商圈。可惜因為正逢新年第一天，很多商店家都休息沒有營業。 711商店跟少部分的店家有開。 我們特別來買鯛魚燒餅。這在淺草、大阪的脆餅有紅豆、卡士達、地瓜口味的燒，真是好吃。 還有一家藥妝店也有開。買了需要的一些保健品，在日本消費，只要單筆消費金額🈵日圓五千元，就可以憑外國護照申請10%的退稅。然後會用專用的退稅袋子包裝。旅客要自愛，免稅商品就是要帶回自己國家使用。千萬別做違法行為的事情。 然後在新市街遇上台灣的旅行團團客，也是一種驚喜。

(Translated by Google) It is a market-like place across from the Kumamoto Sakura Bus Terminal. Some of the inside is made of piloti, so you won’t get wet even on rainy days. We spent Chuseok at the Vessel Hotel inside. There is a convenience store nearby, and you can walk to many restaurants nearby, so it would be a good idea to stay here when traveling to Kumamoto. There is a train stop in front of the Sakura Bus Terminal, so you can conveniently use it anywhere. (Original) 구마모토 시 사쿠라버스터미널 맞은편에 있는 시장 같은 곳입니다. 안쪽은 일부 구간이 필로티로 되어 있어서 비가 오는 날에도 비를 맞지 않을 수도 있습니다. 우리는 이 안에 있는 베셀 호텔에서 추석을 했었는데요. 근처에 편의점도 있고 주변에 맛집도 걸어다닐 수 있어서 쿠마 모도 여행 시에 이쪽에서 묶으시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 사쿠라버스터미널 앞에는전철 정거장이 있어서 어디든 편리하게 이용할 수 있습니다.

(Translated by Google) When you get off the Karashima-cho tram, you will see a shopping street that spreads out in front of you. It is a short shopping street, about 100 meters from Shimo-dori. It is wide and easy to walk on. There are a lot of people walking around, but since the coronavirus, there are a lot of empty stores. You can see many notices asking for tenants. Although it is lively, it makes me think that the economy is still in a recession. I would like to see an attractive shop open soon and make it even more lively. The existing stores are also noticeably older. I hope there is a general redevelopment. (Original) 路面電車の辛島町を降りたら目の前に広がる商店街です。下通りまで100メートルちょっとくらいの短い商店街です。横幅が広く歩きやすいです。人も多く歩いていますが、コロナ以降空き店舗がかなり目立ちます。テナント募集中の張り紙が多く見られます。にぎわってはいますが、まだまだ不景気なんだなと思わされます。早く魅力的なお店が入ってもっとにぎわってもらいたいです。既存店舗も古くなっているところが目立ちます。全体的な再開発があるといいなと思います。

The western end of this relatively short covered shopping street is near the Karashimacho tram stop. At the eastern end, which is about three blocks away; there is a Best Denki electronics store on the right and the Shimotori Shopping Arcade on the left.

(Translated by Google) An arcade shopping street that intersects with Shimo-dori. It seems to have been given this name because it passes through an area commonly called New Town. The street is wider than Shimotori Arcade, and there aren't as many people passing by, so it has a very relaxing atmosphere. However, it still has a certain amount of hustle and bustle, and it is a part of Kumamoto's central shopping district. (Original) 下通と交差するように伸びるアーケードのショッピングストリート。一般に新市街と呼ばれるエリアを通っているためにこの名がついているようです。 下通アーケードよりもさらに道幅が広く、人通りもそれほど多くないため、非常にゆとりある雰囲気です。とはいえやはりそれなりの賑わいはあって、熊本中心商店街の一角を担う存在ですね。

(Translated by Google) There are many shops in the shopping street where you can stroll slowly. (Original) 很多店家的商店街，可以慢慢的逛。

Friendly staff and amazing tasting matcha. They have some really good matcha gelato that I had to try and I got the 5% matcha gelato. It was so creamy and smooth and if you're a matcha lover this one had a deep tea flavor SOOOOO good. The heat of the day probably made it tastier hahaha If you're in the area it's a good spot to stop at and enjoy some of their products

Ordered matcha softserve with red bean and kakigori (shaved ice) with red bean and dango. Ice cream was OK, average size and taste. Kakigori portion was generous. Taste wise OK too. Prices were average for shops of this nature in a touristy area. They gave out hot green tea samples too. Expect to queue a bit since there are many tourists.

A MUST TRY! Soft-serve & matcha lemonade Definitely get back again.

Great matcha shop with very friendly staff! As a matcha ice cream lover I was very happy! They also have plenty of different flavours like lemon sorbet, ice cream topped up with a real huge gold leaf and many more. There are many little restaurants around, nice place to get a rest :)

Tasty green tea ice cream. I got the 5% which was slightly too bitter for me but still nice. If you prefer sweeter ice cream then don't do what I did, get the 1% or 3%.

Ordered mix ice cream, yummy!

Nice matcha gelato here. Not bad. Kinda small for the price!

misumi store is not for public service. Is it a business store who is dealing only dealers. When I reached there purchase Iphone 14 pro max at that time they did not sell me iphone 14 pro max.

The price is higher than official apple store

I recommend this shops tö everyone

(Translated by Google) The phone charges but the screen doesn't turn on and notifications sound. Less than 6 months after I bought it, it broke and I still had 80,000 yen left to pay for the phone. I accidentally canceled the warranty, so I made a reservation in despair. I came to the store prepared to replace the phone, and they fixed it in about an hour! I was surprised that there was no charge for this repair. After doing a lot of research, I thought it might be an internal problem, so my son and I were impressed with how quickly the engineer fixed it! Thank you very much.

They're so proud, it was difficult to communicate with them, so I gave up on buying anything. I don't know if it's the company culture or just the person, but they're not very friendly, and it hasn't changed in the last few years. Luckily, I was able to find someone I could trust to do the repair, but I get the impression that anyone other than that person might be a bit of a challenge. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's the same as an Apple Store. That's my honest impression. (Original) スタッフの接客レベルにばらつきがすごくある。バイトの学生？は論外レベル。プライドが高く意思疎通自体が難しく購入を断念。 企業体質なのかその人特有かはわからないが親切さはあまりないですし、数年前から変わらず。 幸い修理は安心できる方に当たりましたが、その方以外はちょっと無理かな…と言うお店という印象。 間違ってもアップルストアと同じだと思ってはダメです。率直な印象です。

(Translated by Google) This is malicious. When I checked the official Apple support app, I found that the only "authorized service provider" in the area was "Kitamura Camera." Despite this, they are still calling themselves that. My friend brought his AirPods in for repair, but they even took them apart and turned them away because they "suspected they were fake." It's not like they were fakes; the AirPods had already been repaired at Kitamura Camera. Because they were taken apart, I'm sure they wouldn't be able to be repaired even if they were taken to an authorized store. (Original) 悪質です。 Apple公式サポートアプリから調べると、この周辺には『カメラのキタムラ』しか【正規サービスプロバイダ】はありません。にも関わらず名乗っています。 知人がAirPodsを修理に持ち込んだところ、分解までして「複製品の疑いがあるから受け付けられない」と突き返されたそうです。複製品も何も、そのAirPodsは『カメラのキタムラ』で一度修理してもらったものなのに。 分解されてしまったのできっと正規店に持ち込んでも修理できなくなったでしょう。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to buy a HomePod Mini. It didn't seem to be sold at home appliance stores in Kumamoto, so I used this store for the first time. The store was busy. Although it was a weekday, there were about 8 customers. I asked him a little bit about the product, and when he saw it on the internet, he answered right away. I felt like it wasn't very detailed. (Original) ホームポッドミニを買いに寄りました。熊本の家電店では販売していないみたいでしたから、初めてこの店を利用しました。 店は賑わっていました。平日ですが８人くらいいお客さんがいました。 商品について少し話を聞いてみたのですが、ネットで出てきますと、即答です。あまり詳しくはないように感じました。

Veg curry option isvery good. 🤩

(Translated by Google) I learned for the first time that Snow Peak had a cafe. It has a stylish atmosphere and is perfect for people who love mountains. It may be surprisingly unknown on the 3rd floor of Amu Plaza. I was able to spend a relaxing time. I had the set with a salad, and it was quite filling and delicious. I liked the atmosphere, including the driftwood. The store was spacious and I was able to browse camping supplies while eating. When I asked the staff, I heard that there are only two Snow Peak cafes in Kyushu, one in Kumamoto and one in Miyazaki. Apparently it doesn't exist in Fukuoka yet. (Original) スノーピークがカフェを出していたことをはじめて知りました。雰囲気もおしゃれで山が好きな人にはピッタリのお店です。 アミュプラザの3階で意外と知られていないかもしれません。ゆったり過ごすことができました。 サラダ付きのセットにしまして、結構ボリュームもあって、美味しくいただきました。 流木もあったりなど、雰囲気が好きな感じでした。店内も広くて、食べながらキャンプ用品も見ることができました。 店員さんに聞いたら、スノーピークのカフェは九州には2店舗しかないらしく、熊本と宮崎というふうに聞きました。まさかの福岡にはまだないみたいです。

(Translated by Google) I used the BBQ course lunch that started on May 1, 2025. It's not mentioned on the flyer, but if you make a reservation online, there's a small note that says lunch is for indoor use only. When I went there, it was indoors. Since it's indoors, it's more like Teppanyaki than BBQ. I requested the premium course for 3300 yen. Personally, the portion is small and the rice is small, so honestly it's not worth the price. Maybe the name value of Snow Peak has been added. The clerk is also indifferent and has no charm at all. Moreover, additional tickets are required. Purchase a ticket for 3000 yen and then order based on the number of tickets = price. In that case, it would be better to eat something separately at the store. There are no recommended points at noon. I won't repeat it either. It might be good for Snow Peak fans who want to feel the atmosphere. (Original) 25年5/1から始まったBBQコースランチ利用してきました。チラシには記載ないけどネットから予約したらランチは室内利用ですと小さく記載。行ってみたら室内でした。室内だからBBQというよりただの鉄板焼きですね。プレミアムコース3300希望したのですが。私的には量も少ないしご飯も少なくて正直値段に見合わない。 スノーピークというネームバリューが加算されてるのかもー。店員も淡々としていて全く魅力なし。しかも追加はチケット制。3000円のチケット購入してそこからチケット枚数＝値段で注文。それなら単品で普通に店内で何か食べた方がいいですよね。昼は全くオススメポイントなしです。リピートもしません。 スノーピークファンで気分味わいたい方には良いかも。

(Translated by Google) There are few customers in the mornings, making it a good environment to concentrate, so we also use it as a coworking space. We are very satisfied with everything from the atmosphere inside the restaurant, to the service of the staff, to the speed at which the food is served, and the taste. It is an irresistible environment for outdoor enthusiasts. We will continue to use this space regularly. (Original) 午前中はお客さんも少なく、集中できる環境のため、コワーキングスペースとしても活用させていただいてます。 店内の雰囲気、スタッフの方達の対応、料理の提供スピード、味、すべてにおいて大変満足しています。 アウトドア好きの方にはたまらない環境です。 今後も定期的に活用させていただきます。

The tables, chairs, and cutlery are all Snow Peak products, and you can eat inside your tent, so you can easily enjoy the outdoors. I ordered "Grilled Chicken Jambalaya" and "Roast Beef Bowl" and a dessert set. For dessert, I ordered "Gâteau au Chocolat" and "Sierra Cuprin". Everything was delicious and I was very satisfied! The Gâteau au Chocolat was excellent. I recommend it♪♪ (Original) snow peak eat アミュプラザ　3階 オートキャンプ用品などで有名なスノーピーク。 今回は、休日にランチで利用しました。 こちらは、テーブルや椅子、カトラリー用品も、全てスノーピークの製品で揃えられて、テント内での食事もOKなので、気軽にアウトドア気分を味わうことが出来きます。 「グリルチキンのジャンバラヤ」 「ローストビーフ丼」をオーダーし、デザートセットにしました。 デザートは「ガトーショコラ」と「シェラカップリン」をそれぞれ注文しました。 どれも凄くおいしくて、大満足でした！ ガトーショコラ、絶品でした。オススメです♪♪

(Translated by Google) Very comfortable! I bought some Kumamon Nikuman from a nearby shop and had a drink here. Although there were no chairs, there was no pushy salesman, and we were able to relax in a cool place! Draft beer, wine, sake, shochu, and drinking comparison sets are also available. The problem with purchasing alcoholic beverages as souvenirs is that they are heavy, but we also provide information on nearby delivery and shipping locations, so there is no problem! (Original) とっても居心地良い！ 近くのお店でくまもん肉まんを買って、ここで1杯飲ませていただきました。 椅子はないけれど、強い押売も無く、涼しい場所でゆっくりさせていただきました！ 生ビール、ワイン、日本酒、焼酎、飲み比べセットもあり。 お酒等をお土産に購入すると、重いのが難点ですが、近くの配達発送場所の案内もあり、問題ありません！

Perfect for a quick stop during your sightseeing trip, this bar offers a sake and shochu tasting experience—a must-visit for alcohol lovers! The interior is modern and relaxed, yet casual enough for a casual stop. Featuring authentic Kumamoto potato and rice shochu, the tasting experience is unbelievable, allowing you to experience each brand's unique character.

After seeing Kumamoto Castle, which is under reconstruction, we headed to the cherry blossom field, Josaien. There are various shops here, and there was an alcohol shop called ``Kumamoto Sake Brewery'', I entered the store excited. When I entered the store, Kumamon was drinking at the counter, so I decided to drink it with Kumamon. Order a tasting comparison of old sake (500 yen)! ! Comparing old sake, ・Fukano ・Bunzo ・Ro Akino I had fun drinking with Kumamon! ! But the ohagi looked delicious, so I entered Kumamoto Jo Kobaian and received a special ohagi set (320 yen). The sweetness of the ohagi gave me a good solace after my tired body from walking.

(Translated by Google) There is extra cold. I have Kikuka wine. 2019/01/02 It was cold so I had wine instead of beer. There is a Heineken store next door, but as mentioned above, this one is extra cold. There are some knobs that are exclusive to this place. Lotus root chips. Kumamon dolls have warnings written in three languages, such as ``Do not touch!'' I tied it up with string to prevent it from falling if a child touches it. It is possible to take out alcohol, but please be careful of pedestrians. Also, I don't think it's okay to bring in food, but since people from many different countries come, there may be some flexibility in that regard. (Original) エクストラコールドあります。菊鹿ワインおいてあります。 2019/01/02 寒かったのでビールではなくワインにした。ちな隣のお店にはハイネケンがあるけど、ここは上述の通りエクストラコールド。 ここ限定のツマミとかあり。れんこんチップスとか。 くまモンの人形には、「触らないで！」等の注意事項が三か国語で書いてある。子供が触って落ちたりするから、ヒモで縛ってある。 酒の持ち出しも可ではあるが歩行者に注意である。また、食べ物の持ち込みはＮＧだと思うが、いろんな国の人が来るからそのへんは柔軟かもしれない。

Awesome bread curry! Super sweet lady works here as well! Please give it a visit!!

(Translated by Google) I was told that mentaiko was recommended, so I used it as a gift for a family celebration. I went home with many purchases for home use and souvenirs, including not only mentaiko but also the store's original products, kelp tsukudani, mustard greens, and other products that go well with rice or as accompaniments to alcohol. The store manager was very kind and willing to help me out, which I was grateful for. I would definitely use it again! The curry bread was also crispy, spicy and very delicious! (Original) 明太子がおすすめと教えてもらい内祝いお返しで利用させて頂きました。明太子だけではなくお店オリジナルの商品や昆布の佃煮や高菜などご飯のお供やお酒のアテにもなる商品で自宅用やお土産に沢山購入して帰りました。店長さんがとても親切な方で相談に乗ってくれて有難かったです。また是非利用したいと思います！カレーパンもサクサクでスパイシーでとても美味しかったです！

(Translated by Google) We sell very rare mentaiko soft serve (950 yen including tax), homemade nut soft serve (550 yen including tax), and interesting soft serve ice cream! (As of January 2024) The nuts used in the nut soft serve ice cream vary depending on the season. There are 4 sauces to choose from for the nut soft serve: ``Caramel Almond,'' ``Chocolate Walnut,'' ``Mango Cashew Nut,'' and ``Condensed Milk Coconut.'' This time I chose condensed milk coconut. It went well with the nut soft serve and was very delicious! The staff were also friendly and friendly and taught me a lot of things. Next time I think I'll try the mentaiko soft serve. (Original) とっても珍しい明太子ソフト(税込950円)や自家製木の実ソフト(税込550円)と面白いソフトクリームを販売しています！(2024/1月現在) 木の実ソフトクリームの木の実は季節によって変わるそうです。 木の実ソフトには選べるソースがあり『キャラメルアーモンド』『チョコくるみ』『マンゴーカシューナッツ』『練乳ココナッツ』の4種類から１つ選べました。 今回は練乳ココナッツを選びました。木の実ソフトと良く合ってとても美味しかったです！ スタッフさんも気さくな良い方で親しみやすく色々教えて頂きました。 次回は明太子ソフトにチャレンジしてみようと思います。

(Translated by Google) Everyone, please try the mentaiko soft serve and think you have been fooled. It's seriously delicious. The sweet soft serve ice cream and salty mentaiko go perfectly together. If you're too scared to eat it, don't be afraid to try it, it's similar to a chocolate potato. (Original) みなさん、騙されたと思って明太子ソフトを食べてみてください。マジで美味しいです。 甘いソフトクリームと、しょっぱい明太子がすごくマッチしてます。 怖くて食べられないって方、例えたらチョコポテトと同じような類の食べ物です、怖がらずにぜひ食べてみてください。

(Translated by Google) Personally, I feel that the flavor is stronger than that of Hakata. Is it the power of red sake? If the manager's mother is a nice person and takes the time to serve customers, the tour customers will be late for the bus (lol) But please stop by! (Original) 個人的にですが、博多モノより旨味が強い感じがする。赤酒の力かな？ 店長のお母さんがいい人で、ゆっくり接客受けていると、ツアー客はバスに遅れます（笑） でも、寄ってみて下さい！

(Translated by Google) It's better to eat mentaiko alone. It is better to avoid mentaiko soft serve ice cream🍦. Is 950 yen expensive for seeing something scary? (Original) 明太子は単品で食べた方がイイですね。明太子ソフトクリーム🍦は止めといた方がいいです。怖いもの見たさの950円は高いかな。

(Translated by Google) I was actually interested in the mentaiko soft serve ice cream next door, but I couldn't venture out... I ordered a nut that was safe. The taste is normal. within the realm of imagination. It's just delicious. There was nothing wrong with it, and the owner was friendly. I also ordered Shoronpou, which was surprising. It's not the xiaolongbao I was imagining, but more like a small meat bun. This is also delicious. Maybe this is Kumamoto's Xiaolongbao? I still have doubts lol I regret not being able to take a photo of this because it was a bite size and I ate it right away. (Original) 本当は隣の明太子ソフトクリームが気になりましたが冒険はできず、、、、 無難な木の実を頼んでしまいました、、 味は普通です。想像の範疇内。普通に美味しいです。悪い所もなし、店主の方もフレンドリーな方で良かったです。 あとショウロンポウを頼みました、、、、がこちらは意外でした。想像してた小籠包ではなく、小さい肉まんみたいな。こちらも普通に美味しい。 もしかして熊本の小籠包ってこれなのか、、、？疑問は残りました笑 こちら1口サイズで直ぐに食べてしまったので写真撮れてなかったのが悔やまれます、、

This is healthy souvenir which u can buy back to Singapore to give your loved ones. 😍😍😍

(Translated by Google) I couldn't stand the enticing words of soft serve ice cream and honey anymore, so I ate it up. The soft serve ice cream topped with manuka honey is actually very delicious. Honestly, I wish there was one more way to blend the honey and soft serve ice cream. If you find that mixing the mixture completely will result in a muddled taste, you can also create an emulsion. In terms of cost performance, it can't be helped because Manuka honey is expensive, but it may become cheaper if a new manufacturing method is used. At the moment, it is difficult to give a high rating because it is expensive. (Original) ソフトクリームに蜂蜜などという魅力的な言葉にはもう我慢できないので食いつきました。 実際にマヌカハニーをかけたソフトクリームはとても美味しいです。 欲を言えばハチミツとソフトクリームのブレンドの方法にあとひとつ工夫があればと思います。 完全に混合すると返って味がぼやけるのであればエマルジョンにするという方法もあります。 コスパという面ではマヌカハニーが高価であるため仕方がないのですが、これも新製法にすれば安くなるかも知れません。 現時点ではお高いということでなかなか高評価にはできません。

(Translated by Google) They always provide excellent customer service. I think she's in a sales position, but today I met an elderly female staff member at the souvenir shop in Kumamoto Station who I met the day before when I bought yuzu juice at the store at the entrance to Suizenji Park. She remembered me and let me try samples of various types of honey. I had such a fun conversation with her that I ended up buying a lot. (Original) いつも素晴らしい接客をされます。 営業責任職だと思うが、前日には水前寺公園の入口店でゆずジュースを買った時に会った年配女性スタッフの方が今日は熊本駅の土産店舗で会えました。 覚えていてくれて色々な蜂蜜を試食させてくれて、、はなしが楽しくて思わずたくさん買いました

(Translated by Google) After lunch, we had a special drink containing Subo Mitsu soft serve ice cream and Yuzu Mitsu + Collagen🍴🙏 The honey is sweet, but it goes well with the refreshing milk of the soft serve ice cream, making it a very delicious dish.The special drink is also made with yuzu honey, so it's an easy-to-drink drink that will give you energy. Recently, honey has become more expensive, but I was glad that I was able to purchase the honey lemon I was looking for as a souvenir ❗ (Original) ランチの後に巣房蜜のソフトクリームとゆず蜜+コラーゲン入りのスペシャルドリンクをいただきました🍴🙏 巣房蜜が甘いですが、ソフトクリームのさっぱりミルクとマッチングしてとても美味しい一品ですし、スペシャルドリンクもゆず蜜ですので、飲みやすく、元気が出そうなドリンクですね👌 最近は、ハチミツも高くなりましたが、お目当てのハニーレモンをお土産に購入出来て、良かったです❗

(Translated by Google) Super delicious However, honey may be a bit sweet, but it is eaten with ice cream Can relieve sweetness (Original) 超級好吃 不過蜂蜜可能有點甜，但搭配冰淇淋一起吃 可以解甜

(Translated by Google) My child loved the yuzu honey, so I bought it. We tried the Shine Muscat and matcha flavors, and I'd like to try buying the other ones next time we come. It's great to drink cold now, and I'm looking forward to drinking it hot in the winter as it will warm you up. 😊 (Original) 柚蜜を子どもが気に入り購入しました。 シャインマスカットや抹茶など試飲させていただき、他のものも次回来た時には買ってみたいなと思います。 今は冷たくして飲むのもいいし、冬はホットも温まりそうで楽しみ😊

(Translated by Google) The honey-drizzled soft serve ice cream was delicious. Not only was it drizzled on top, but there was also plenty of honey at the bottom of the container. (Original) 蜂蜜かけソフトクリーム🍦が、とても美味しかったです。かけてあるだけではなく、容器の底にも蜂蜜たっぷりでした。

(Translated by Google) This is the largest GU store near Kumamoto Station. There are many different product frames on display, and if you purchase over 50,000 won, you can get tax free. Considering the exchange rate in the 900 won range, it can be said that the price is about 20% cheaper than domestically. It is also connected to Uniqlo downstairs and the central staircase. (Original) 구마모토역 인근에서는 가장 큰 GU 점포 입니다. 다양한 제품틀이 많이 진열되어 있고, 대략 5만원이상 구매시 택스프리로 면세받고 900원대 환율 까지 고려하면 대략 20% 금액이 국내보다 싸다고도 볼수 있겠습니다. 아래층 유니클로 와 중앙 계단으로도 연결되어 있습니다

(Translated by Google) The prices of the clothes are seriously reasonable... ㅠㅠ Pajamas are cheap, pants, t-shirts, bags are all cheap... Japanese people wish... (Original) 옷 가격이 심각하게 착하다... ㅠㅠ 파자마도 싸고 바지, 티셔츠, 가방 다 싸다... 일본 사람들은 좋겠다...

(Translated by Google) I drove 2 and a half hours each way because the app said it was in stock, but due to a mistake on the store's part, I was told it was out of stock. Since it was a popular item, I would like to see better inventory management. It was a waste of time, gas, and parking. (Original) アプリで在庫ありとなっていたため車で片道2時間半かけていきましたが店側のミスで在庫がないと言われた。 人気商品だったので在庫管理はしっかりしてほしい。 時間とガソリン代と駐車場代が無駄にかかりました。

(Translated by Google) I'm going to go to the store around 1pm today to make a purchase. The female clerk's service is very considerate, and we hope that you will also complete a customer satisfaction survey and enjoy your day. Good luck ❤️ (Original) 今日は午后1点ごろに消消费しに行きます。お结帐の女性の接服务はとても亲切切で、ついでにお客様満足度调查査を填入していただき、楽しい一日をお過ごしください。 頑張ってください❤️

(Translated by Google) There are lots of cute clothes and the prices are reasonable, so it's easy to buy. (Original) カワイイデザインの服が沢山あり、値段もお手頃でとても買いやすいです♪

(Translated by Google) The quantity is less than expected, but it is easy to connect to Uniqlo, checkout is through Betsubetsu, visit at 6pm on weekends, and the checkout line is huge. It is also convenient to purchase online - (Original) 생각보다 물량은 적음, 그래도 유니클로 연결 편함, 계산은 베쯔베쯔, 주말 6시방문, 계산줄 엄청남. 역시 온라인구매가 편함-

(Translated by Google) The app said there was some stock (△) so I went to the store and my size was out of stock, so I looked around and thought maybe it was one on the shelf, so I asked a male store clerk to check, but he didn't listen to me or look around enough, and just said "If it's not here, it's out." In the end, I asked him if that was the wrong item, and he actually had it in stock. He was clearly annoyed. I guess it was my fault for asking him to check when he was busy. That was the worst kind of customer service I've ever received. (Original) アプリに若干在庫あり（△）でお店に行って、そのコーナーにサイズがなく、自分で探したら棚の上においてるやつがそうかもと思い、男性の店員に確認を頼もうとしたら、話も聞かず十分に探さず「ここになかったらない」と言い出した。結果私からあれは違いますかって確認させて在庫あったんですが。明らかにイライラされてたなー。忙しい時に確認させた私が悪いんでしょうね。その人に関しては最低の対応です。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for lunch on a bus tour. I imagine it must be difficult to prepare lunch for 30 people, but the paella was served on a plate and kept cold. The soup was cold and I didn't think it was delicious. Even while I was still eating, I kept cleaning up the plates, so I couldn't enjoy the meal at my leisure. I didn't see any other groups of customers during the cold February season, but it was a very unpleasant restaurant. To 1800 yen. Prices for everything are going up. (Original) バス🚌ツアーのランチでお邪魔しました。 役30人分のランチを準備されるので大変かととも思いますが、パエリア料理皿に盛り付けで冷めていました。 スープも冷めていて美味しいと思わなかった。 まだ食事をしている最中にもお皿をどんどん片付けて始められてゆっくり楽しむ事ができませんでした。 二月の寒い時期に他に団体のお客さんは見られなかったのですが、感じの悪い👎レストランでした。 1800円に。なんでも料金上がってますよね

(Translated by Google) It was soooo delicious! It wasn't a typical flavor, but I could feel the direct Dekopon flavor. The dried fruit that comes with it has a nice bittersweet taste. The balance with the sweet soft serve ice cream◎If the temperature wasn't so low that day, I would have ordered a second helping. (Original) すーーっごく美味しかったです！ よくある風味ではなく、直接的なデコポンを感じられました。添えられているドライフルーツはいい感じにほろ苦い。甘いソフトクリームとのバランス◎その日の気温が低くなかったらおかわりしてる所でした。

(Translated by Google) This is a recommended shop in Josaien. The menu is extensive, with plenty of delicious ice cream and juices. The young female staff member was very efficient, polite, and had a lovely smile, providing excellent customer service. I'll definitely go again. (Original) 城彩苑にあるおすすめのお店です。メニューが豊富で、おいしいアイスやジュースがたくさんあります。若い女性店員さんが、とてもテキパキされてて、丁寧で笑顔が素敵で素晴らしい接客でした。また行きます。

(Translated by Google) Deco Hachi juice is recommended. A juice blended with Dekopon and honey. It's very delicious. (Original) デコはちジュースがおすすめです。デコポンに蜂蜜をブレンドしたジュース。とても美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) A mix of Dekopon and chocolate! I really liked the richness of the chocolate and the refreshing feel of the Dekopon. The orange chips have just the right amount of bitterness ◎ I ordered a kids size, but it was a little cold so it was perfect! lol (Original) デコポンとショコラのミックス！ チョコの濃厚な感じとデコポンのさっぱりな感じがとてもよかったです。オレンジチップも程よい苦味で◎ キッズサイズを頼んだんですが、ちょっと寒かったのでちょうどよかった！笑

(Translated by Google) It was delicious😍 It was so hot that I got burned 👅, but it was rich and delicious, and the Dekopon tasted great 😊 I liked it so much that I thought I would copy it and drink it at home too 😋 Since it was cold, I could only have hot food, but the cold menu items such as soft serve ice cream also looked delicious ✨ I would love to have it when it gets warmer ✨🥺 (Original) 美味しかったです😍 熱すぎて👅火傷しちゃったけど、濃厚で美味しくて、デコポンがいい感じでした😊 家でも真似して飲も～って思うくらい気に入りました😋 寒かったから、温かいものしか頂けなかったけど、ソフトクリームなどの冷たいメニューも美味しそうでした✨ 暖かくなったらぜひ頂きたい✨🥺
