Hi all,
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to post, but a friend shared this article and I was so excited that I had to share it with all of you, too!
According to the article, Kumamoto Castle will have a special open period about a year from now, in October of 2019. The article lists the open dates as October 5th to October 14th. Visitors will be able to walk around a bit inside for the first time since the earthquake.
This past spring I visited Kumamoto after having been away for almost five years. It broke my heart to see the damage to the castle, but I was also reminded of the resilience of the people of Kumamoto, and how everyone works together to support the city in times of need. I’m so happy that the repairs are progressing well, and that an open day like this is possible!
-Grace
