I spend the day in Kumamoto to get a feel for this city. The weather is great and the hotel with the huge fish tank has a rental bike so that sealed the deal. I cruised around some local neighborhoods and by the river, towards the park. Bought some low carb bread from a small cute shop, yummy. I'm listening too the book Shogun. Mellow day but still riding. Overall this city is a bit more spread out and less inspiring.
By the end of the day I catch the bus to Minamiaso. I walk up to the pension in the dark. This will be one of my nicer places to stay.Les mer
