On the 11th, an initiative began to create an artificial sea of clouds near the stone walls of Kumamoto Castle, captivating many tourists with its magical atmosphere.
This initiative was planned for the first time by the city, in conjunction with the “Autumn Kumamoto Castle Festival,” which started on the 11th to attract more visitors.
The artificial sea of clouds is produced between the special viewing path leading to the main keep and the stone walls.
The “Two Styles of Stone Walls,” where stone walls from different periods overlap, were enveloped in pure white mist, and tourists were mesmerized by the fantastical sight of the towering main keep behind them.
According to the Kumamoto Castle General Office, the mist is generated using water from an old well within the castle grounds, making this one of the largest artificial sea of clouds in the country.
The initiative will continue from the 11th until November 4th, with the mist being created every 30 minutes from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM.
After 6:00 PM, the sea of clouds will be illuminated, and there will also be performances using music.
A man visiting with his family from Taiwan said, “The traditional castle itself is amazing, and I feel lucky to have come on the first day of this new sea of clouds initiative.” — end —
