Atsuko here. GW starts tomorrow. The Kumamoto Japan Tourism Facebook page has a large number of followers, so many of Kumamoto International’s readers might be following it also. The reason I shared it this time is because high school and junior high school students in Kumamoto Prefecture have been posting recently, and I wanted to support them.

When I myself have posted on Kumamoto International, when I get responses and comments from people in different countries, I am glad that I have been able to communicate with them, or I am glad that I have posted, and it motivates me to do the next thing. So I would like to support this site and these posts by the junior and senior high school students who are the future of Kumamoto and who are trying to communicate Kumamoto to the world through English.

By the way① my surname is Kumabe and I use 隈. This Kuma means “dark circles, bags under one’s eyes” or “the corner, the edge”(๑˃ᴗ˂)و♡

②My first post at the Kumamoto International was the carp streamers at Takahashi Inari. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2574567062616710&id=123734781033296
