— begin quote — Hello Kumamoto International 😊

My family went to Ashikita area at beginning of this month. It was not as cold as now when we visited there. It was our first time visiting the town, and we loved it. The town offers both beauty of the sea and mountain. There is big park called Otachimisaki Park. And there is an Onsen nearby. We went to view the stars in the night nearby the onsen, but it was cloudy, so we only saw the moon.

We didn’t check out the inside of the park because my oldest Son was not so interested in checking Parks anymore 😅 So we went straight to Luge Park and Playground. The town has English Page, so everyone can check it out.

Parking entry cost 500 yen, and kids will enjoy Long hours running around and burning their energy in the playground.

It will be great to visit here again when the weather gets warmer. I plan to do so 😃 I would avoid visiting here during Golden Week though because I heard it is one of the busiest time for them.

We drove a bit to Tanoura area for our culinary experience. My family loves Japanese Food and we love to try new dishes. The Michi No Eki at Tanoura city sells Fried Tachiou (LargeHead Hairtail) Set Dish. One should try it out. Their Shirasu Donburi was great too (for Fish Fan). My Husband sticked to Fried Tachiou. He was not a big fan of Shirasu 😃
