Two weeks ago I took a stroll downtown. I haven’t been to the machi for four and a half years, even though I live in the city.
It was mainly empty and felt reminiscent of a ghost town. A strange feeling to have given the current size of Kumamoto. At any rate, it was a beautiful day.
It seems this week a lot of places are opening back up. So it might be worth visiting again once the restaurants are up and running. –Tristan Vick
