Atsuko here. I found a very interesting bird’s-eye view of Kumamoto Castle Town at the students' entrance of Gofuku Elementary School, where I have been working since April, and would like to share it with you.

Kumamoto Castle Town in the Edo period. You can enjoy it even if you don’t understand Japanese, such as the paths taken by the councilors and the location of the temples. There are still temples and wholesale shops in Furumachi and Shinmachi, and you can understand the origins of the town as it is today.

You can also use this map as a basis for walking around the town today.ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧
