Here is a nice video of a neighborhood that is quite unique to Kumamoto. The neighborhood is called Kawaramachi and is located about 10 minutes southeast of downtown. The area was devastated by a fire about 3 years ago but a small portion of it still survives. My cafe is located there along with several other cool shops. This neighborhood might soon be gone as talk about building apartments is happening.On April 6th we will also have a concert at Jogglejog a bar that is reopening with about 3-4 bands.I hope the show will help educate folks on the importance of neighborhoods like this.
