(5:40 PM) ~ Minateras (Mashiki-cho) Sanji Statue ~ First, we enter the building. (It’s pretty late, so I wonder if it’ll be okay.) This is what the inside of the building looks like. Sanji figures are on sale here. I received a commemorative card. (6th photo) Heading toward the statue. (It appears to be installed outside.) We’ve arrived at the Sanji statue. The quality here is also high. 帰り ました。 English: I was told it’s a good idea to take a look at the food they’re holding, so I take a look. I’m not sure if it looks delicious (lol), but it’s high quality. It’s time to head home. I move on. I’m leaving. (6:10 PM) I’m heading towards Kikura, Mifune-cho, Kamimashiki-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture. I’m almost at Fureai Hiroba (Mifune Town). There’s the Brook statue here. I’ve arrived. I move on to the parking lot a little further ahead. It seems a local event is being held today. There are a lot of people here (quite a few people in yukata) . Parking lot 1 is full. (I return to parking lot 2 from earlier) I’ve arrived at parking lot 2. There are also a lot of cars in this parking lot. I’ve arrived at Fureai Hiroba (Mifune Town). (6:30 PM) ~Fureai Hiroba (Mifune Town) “Brooke Statue”~ I’ve arrived at the Brook Statue. The quality is also high here. The statue has a nice atmosphere in the evening sunshine. We received a commemorative card at the gift shop in the park. It was too late, the shop was closed. Unfortunately, we’ll come back tomorrow to get the card. This “Fureai Hiroba” (Interaction Square) is also known as “Dinosaur Park.” We took a quick look at the dinosaurs before heading home. There were several dinosaur statues on the grounds. They were quite realistic. It was time to head home. We continued on. We departed. (7:15 PM) We returned to our hotel, the Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport. We arrived at the Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport. *Today’s (Sunday, August 11th) mileage was 130 km. (Thank you for your hard work.) We arrived at the Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport. (7:45 PM) ~Green Rich Hotel Aso Kumamoto Airport~ Since it was late, we bought a bento at Obento no Hirai, right next to the parking lot. We arrived. We entered the store. It’s been a while since I last came here, and the food looks as delicious as ever. It’s ready-made meals. I head to the bento corner. There are so many varieties. This is the “prepared meals” corner. (Looks delicious!) It’s a “donut stick ice cream bar” with a Kumamon design, I’m interested. I bought the following. I’m looking forward to the “fried chicken bento” because they serve rice separately. I bought the ramen in honor of Kumamoto. “Total (tax included): 1,298 yen” – “fried chicken bento (excluding tax: 453 yen)” – “minced meat bowl (excluding tax: 360 yen)” – “salad (excluding tax: 150 yen)” – “Sanpo roast pork ramen Kuro Kumamoto (excluding tax: 137 yen)” – “Pepsi BIG ZERO LEMON (excluding tax: 102 yen)” I head back to the hotel. I enter the hotel. (8:05pm) I’m starving so I’ll eat right away. Let’s eat (munch munch) Cheers! This is the “Imosuteku” I bought at “Tawarayama Exchange Center Moe no Sato (Nishihara Village).” Let’s eat (crunch). I also eat the “roll cake” I bought separately. Let’s eat (crunch) . It’s about time to go to bed. (Good night) Good morning. It’s the morning of Monday, August 12th. I’ll do my best today too. This is the view from my room. (It looks hot again today)
For breakfast, I had leftovers from yesterday. *Breakfast view* I’m checking out. I have a lot planned today, so I’m leaving a little early. I’m resuming my statue tour. I’m setting off. The weather is nice again today. It looks hot. This is the route I took on the third day (August 12th) of my 2-night, 3-day trip to the “Aso-Kumamoto Area.” I’m traveling from Kumamoto Prefecture (Kumamoto City/Uto City) to Fukuoka Prefecture (Kitakyushu City). (Luffy Statue → Suizenji Jojuen Garden → Chopper Statue → Brook Statue → Jinbe Statue → Uto Marina) This is the schedule for today (Day 3).

I will soon arrive at Nurse Power Arena (Kumamoto City General Gymnasium and Youth Hall). I have arrived. I have arrived at Nurse Power Arena (Kumamoto City General Gymnasium and Youth Hall). (10:05) ~ Kumamoto Literature and History Museum “Luffy (Card)” ~ As the “Luffy” statue, “statue, commemorative card, and figure” are all in different locations, we will use this as a base for touring. First, we head to “Kumamoto Literature and History Museum.” (*Commemorative card) We arrived at “Kumamoto Literature and History Museum.” (10:15) The entrance is at the back. We received a “Commemorative card.” (7th photo) Next, we head to “Kumamoto Prefectural Office” in search of the “Luffy” statue. We set off. (10:30) It’s pretty hot already.

It seems there is a statue just in front of it. Let’s go. We can see the flags of our friends. (*Sanji, Luffy) You can see the flags of our crewmates. (*Usopp, Chopper) You can see the flags of our crewmates. (*Franky, Brook) You can see a crowd in the background. There seems to be a Luffy statue. You can see the flags of our crewmates. (*Robin, Nami) We’ve arrived. It seems popular, and there’s quite a queue. (Let’s line up.) We’ve arrived at the Luffy statue. This is also of high quality. This is the view from behind. People are arriving one after another. This is the handprint of Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece. (*Maybe about the same age as me.) (Behind the statue) We get a little closer to the building. You can see the flags of our crewmates. (*Jinbe, Zoro) You can see the flags of our crewmates. (*Reconstruction support, Kumamon and Luffy) My husband and I can only support the reconstruction efforts by sightseeing, but we would like to support the reconstruction efforts. We’re heading to our next destination. (10:45) *Many people have stopped their cars on the side of the road and are taking photos. If possible, it’s a little far, but there are free parking areas like ours, so I recommend using them. * Next, we head to Hotel Kumamoto Terrsa. We’ll buy a Luffy figure. We continue on. It’s about a 5-minute drive from the prefectural office to our destination. We’re almost there. The building comes into view. We arrived at Hotel Kumamoto Terrsa (10:50 AM). ~ Hotel Kumamoto Terrsa “Luffy (Figure)” ~ This is the entrance. We go inside. It seems to be sold here. There are both new and old Luffy (figures). (I wonder which one to buy.) In the end, I bought both the old and new. (It’s a memory of my trip.) The old one will be re-released at the end of June 2024, and the new one will go on sale at the end of July 2024, so the timing was perfect. New (tax included: 3,850 yen), old (tax included: 2,200 yen) *There was also a Luffy commemorative card here. We came outside. We head to our next destination. (11:00 AM) We stop by nearby Suizenji Jojuen Garden (Suizenji Park). We head to Suizenji Jojuen Garden (Suizenji Park). The river water is beautiful. Is it spring water? Going through this alleyway, it seems we’ll arrive at the park’s main street. We’ve arrived at Suizenji Jojuen Garden (Suizenji Park). (11:15 AM) ~ Suizenji Jojuen Garden (Suizenji Park) ~ We head to the park entrance. We’ve arrived. It’s been 10 years since I last visited here. I wonder what it’s like. The entrance fee is 800 yen (400 yen per adult for two people). It’s been a while, but it was like this. (Memories are coming back a little.) There are a lot of foreign tourists. The view is great. The scale of this garden is amazing. It’s magnificent . Up ahead is Izumi Shrine. We head there to get a goshuin (temple seal). We continue on. The water seems clearer than before. It’s so beautiful. I can see Izumi Shrine. Actually, one of the reasons I came to the garden this time is to buy a goshuincho (stamp book). This is the temizuya (water purification fountain). I pray here. I receive a commemorative stamp . I received a commemorative stamp . This is the grounds. I purchase a goshuincho (stamp book). I thought the goshuincho here was nice when I came here 10 years ago, but I wasn’t collecting goshuin at the time, so I didn’t end up buying one. I got my revenge (lol). The goshuincho is 2,000 yen (tax included). (Stamp included) I received a goshuin. I’ll start to appreciate the garden in earnest. I move on. It’s really hot, though. This is Inari Shrine. I pray here. I move on. These are statues of Hosokawa Tadatoshi and Hosokawa Fujitaka. It’s a really large garden. I’m near the center of the garden. The view from here is also nice. I move on. This is the view from the side. Up ahead there is a teahouse. We stop by for a bit. We continue on. We arrive at the teahouse. We take a look around for a bit. The atmosphere is nice. There is a tea set. It seems you can have tea inside. (Seating fees are separate whether inside or outside) We come outside. It’s time to head to our next destination. We had a lot of fun. (I recommend it) This concludes the main story (part 5). Until next time. (Thank you)
