So many local food shops and restaurants. most of shops accepts credit card. i really liked the soy shop which the soy milk was really good and the tofu with Miso which is like cheese but much more healthy was also wonderful. most of the shops allow you to try the food but they won't force you to buy it and they are so friendly!!

It was quiet when we arrived. We felt that the closed Kumamoto Castle beside has affected its business there. There are still a lot of shops open for business but it is a place that you can complete in 30minutes if you do not dine there.
