Please limit the number of individuals to one for an exclusive group booking. (The group can accommodate up to a maximum of 4 people.) Widely celebrated as one of the top three castles in Japan, Kumamoto Castle stands as a stunning symbol of the ideals and tactics of samurai warriors from four centuries ago. It holds a special place in the hearts of those of us who call Kumamoto our hometown.

The castle, which houses an abundance of details about Japanese castles, offers a leisurely 3-hour tour where we simplify the information and facilitate engaging interaction, our goal being to reach the lookout deck situated approximately 14 stories high.

This excursion will be lead by a guide born and raised in Kumamoto City. Accompanying us will be an interpreter with many years of residency experience in New York, providing lucid and simple explanations about the notable locations in her native city.
