Japan trip / Off to Kumamoto~

From Fukuoka, we took kousoku bus to Kumamoto.
Stopped by Matt's favorite bread store, Trandor.
sticker says "please eat by end of the day"
Thanks. No problem!

From the city...

To the country side! yeah!

Got to friends' place, met with my parents.
I forgot what this manju was called, but it's kumamoto's old sweet.
It has sweet potato in it, instead of usual sweet paste.
Yum!

Chirashi, and Dagojiru. all home made!

My parents. It's my mom. not MJ.

She had Yon-sama socks! nice!

Went to Kumamoto Castle.
Where Matt try to climb the wall...
Ninja can't even do it.

Classic shot

This is Kitchen ceiling. Very high, so all the smoke can escape up.

The wall on the very end is where king sat.
so far~~~

View from the top.
