Kumamoto Prefecture Sightseeing Part 2 – Aso/Kumamoto Area Edition – 2024/8/10-12 Moving on. Departing. (1:35 PM) It was a little hot, but we were blessed with clear skies. Even so, there were an incredible number of cars. There were also many motorcyclists. If I have the chance, I’d like to visit on my own motorbike next time. *Forza (MF08)* The view from this side is also amazing. You can see cows on the right. Next is lunch. Heading to “Aso-ji (Original Takanameshi)” in Aso City. Heading into downtown Aso City. The road continues with a beautiful view for a while. There are cows here too. They are raised in large numbers. We’ve come down to the bottom. The view is magnificent.

It was very delicious. And it was quite filling. *~Asouji (Original Takanameshi)~* The “Takanameshi Set Meal (1,430 yen)*2” is 2,860 yen. *~Asouji (Original Takanameshi)~* This is the souvenir corner. *~Asouji (Original Takanameshi)~* There’s a station next to it.

We’ve arrived at Aso Station. There’s also a roadside station (Aso) next door, so we’ll stop there as well. We’ve arrived at roadside station ( Aso). (3:10 PM) ~ Roadside station (Aso) Usopp Statue ~ First, we’ll head to the Usopp Statue. *~ Roadside station (Aso) Usopp Statue ~* We’ll continue on. At the ONE PIECE Kumamoto Reconstruction Project, you can not only see the statues, but you can also receive a commemorative card. I’d like to get one. *Commemorative cards (10 types in total)* *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* The statue comes into view. In fact, as part of the reconstruction project, “figures” of the statue are also on sale. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* We have arrived at the “Usopp Statue”. Here is an explanation of the statue and the reconstruction. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* It’s incredibly realistic. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* This is the view in front of “Aso Station”. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* We receive a “commemorative card” inside Aso Station. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* We received a “commemorative card”.

(Looks delicious.) *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* This is a bento box. Akaushi beef is famous, so there are many bento boxes related to it. This also looks delicious. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* There are also many Kumamon-related items. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* All the statue figurines are displayed here.

(I want it…) *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* It seems that the “figures” of each statue are only sold at the statue’s location. (Excluding Luffy) *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* Completing the tour would be financially prohibitive, so I wonder if I should buy something along the way… (Considering) *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* The pudding looks delicious. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* This bento looks delicious. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* This bento also looks delicious. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* It’s a “ONE PIECE” sweet. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* Might make a good souvenir. *~Roadside Station (Aso) “Usopp Statue”~* Head to our next destination.

(4:00 PM) ~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~ This is the statue sign. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~*The steel frame of the collapsed Aso Ohashi Bridge. It was a fairly impressive bridge, so the news of its collapse was a shock. I’m sure some people were killed. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* Heading toward the Robin Statue. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* It looks like some kind of event was being held there. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* It looks like there’s a statue up ahead. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* You can see the building. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* It seems that the “former Tokai University Aso school building” and other structures have been preserved here as “earthquake relics.” We’ll also be touring this. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~*We’ve arrived at the “Robin Statue.” This statue is also of extremely high quality. *~Robin Statue at the Former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* We’ll be touring the “earthquake relics.” We’ll continue on.This is the aftermath of the cracks in the ground. *~Robin Statue at the former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* It is said that the earthquake caused “an earthquake fault to appear on the surface.” *~Robin Statue at the former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* The damage to the building also seems to have been extensive. *~Robin Statue at the former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* This is the damaged former Tokai University Aso Campus Building No. 1. *~Robin Statue at the former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~*Heading towards the main entrance of the school building. *~Robin Statue at the former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~*Perhaps it is being reinforced for preservation purposes. *~Robin Statue at the former Tokai University Aso Campus (Minamiaso Village)~* This shows even more extensive damage.

We set off. (4:50 PM) This is the New Aso Bridge. It spans a magnificent valley. We head for the next statue. We head toward Otsu, Otsu Town, Kikuchi District, Kumamoto Prefecture. We’re almost at Otsu Central Park (Otsu Town). There’s a Zoro statue here. I think there’s a statue nearby, but I’m lost. I can’t seem to find it. I think there’s a park around here… (This is cut from the video, but I’m driving around the area.) I see a sign with an arrow pointing to “Zoro Statue.” I finally found it. (So happy!) We finally arrived at the park. We’ve arrived at Otsu Central Park (Otsu Town). (5:05 PM) ~Otsu Central Park (Otsu Town) “Zoro Statue”~ I see a strange statue on the right. What is it?

(I think the other statues have it too.) *~Otsu Central Park (Otsu Town) “Zorro Statue”~* We’ve come to the statue that caught our eye earlier. *~Otsu Central Park (Otsu Town) “Zorro Statue”~* It appears to be a character called “Karaimo-kun.” Perhaps because Otsu Town is a sweet potato producing area. *~Otsu Central Park (Otsu Town) “Zorro Statue”~* We’ll head to the nearby “Higo-Otsu Station (JR)” to get the “commemorative card” for the “Zoro Statue,” not here.

I’ll try to look for it. *~Higo-Otsu Station (JR) “Zorro Statue”~* It seems you can get one on the north exit side of the station. I get my pass and cross the tracks. (South Exit → North Exit) *~Higo-Otsu Station (JR) “Zorro Statue”~* *Actually, when I was looking for it not knowing where it was, a kind person showed me how to cross to the other platform.

(Thank you for your hard work) We’ve arrived at the Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport. (4:15 PM) ~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~ This is located in the center of the statue tour, so I plan to use it as a base for my tour. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* Entering the hotel. First, check in. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* There are amenities and coffee, tea, etc. We’ll have two servings. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* We head to our room. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* We check in. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* Today was hellishly hot, nearly 40°C, so I’m glad they turned on the air conditioning. (Cool) *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* The room key has Kumamon on it. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* A quick look at the room. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* The room is spacious enough for a comfortable rest. There seems to be a large public bath, but today, due to travel fatigue, I will use the bath in my room. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* The view outside the window from the 6th floor. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* Since I want to relax in my room, I go to the nearby supermarket to buy some food for my in-room meal. Moving on. *There is no shopping scene, but the outside temperature was 38°C as of 7pm. It’s still quite hot. At the supermarket where I went, they were selling “mess tins” at a very low price. I already have both sizes from a different manufacturer, but when I was thinking about buying one, my wife stopped me. (lol) I finished shopping and returned. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* For dinner, I bought “fried rice,” “mabo eggplant,” “hand-rolled sushi,” “lotus root salad,” and drinks such as “beer.” *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* Let’s eat. *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* Cheers! *~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~* It’s time to go to bed.
