A fairly pleasant city with a population of over 700,000, Kumamoto is a good base for visiting central Kyūshū. The city's two main points of interest are Kumamoto-jō Castle and Suizen-ji-Kōen Garden, both of which are worth a visit. Unfortunately, the earthquake of April 16, 2016 severely damaged the city and partially destroyed the castle. The daunting task of rebuilding is expected to take over 20 years! Workers and engineers are working to rebuild the castle to its original form while facing the trials of the modern world.
