Experience of the stay
The overall accommodation experience was satisfying, but there were some points to note. Although the room design was modern and clean, the space was small, and there was no bathtub, which might be a bit disappointing for travelers who enjoy bathing. However, the hotel's location is very convenient, with well-developed transportation nearby, making it accessible to multiple attractions and shopping areas within walking distance. This is an ideal choice for travelers who enjoy shopping or exploring local life.
Highly recommended, I suggest purchasing the meals as the prices are reasonable and the selections are rich, ranging from Japanese to Western cuisine, with fresh ingredients and decent flavors that can provide ample energy for a day's activities. Overall, Grids Hotel Kumamoto is a hotel suitable for short stays, especially for travelers who prioritize convenience.
Experiences during the trip
Kumamoto's mascot, Kumamoto Director, and Suizenji Jojuen (also known as Suizenji Park) are definitely highlights not to be missed. On this day, I embarked on an encounter with the Kumamoto mascot, Kumamoto Director, and enjoyed a leisurely time walking through the Japanese garden.
First, I arrived at the Kumamoto Director's office near Kumamoto Castle. The Kumamoto Director is not only a local symbol but also a super popular character across Japan and even internationally. Its cute appearance and amusing movements filled the scene with laughter. Next, I headed to Suizenji Jojuen, a Japanese garden with a long history. The park's scenery is picturesque, with winding paths, clear pond water, and meticulously trimmed pine trees, making one feel like they are in a scroll from the Edo period. At the center of the garden is a small hill mimicking Mount Fuji, surrounded by ponds, with the scenery changing as one moves, allowing one to experience the unique beauty of 'shakkei' in Japanese gardens. I particularly enjoyed sitting by the pondside tea house, tasting a bowl of matcha and wagashi, experiencing a moment of tranquility and relaxation.Get Extra Bonus Coins!
