Kumamoto weekend trip

I took a weekend trip to Kumamoto city for the second to last weekend before deploying until the holidays. It's about two hours from Sasebo and the second largest city in Kyushu.
Kumamoto castle

The castle was build on top of a large stone wall. The wall was supposed to prevent enemy troop and ninja attacks. Hard to tell in the photo, but they were high and impressive.

The Kumamoto city arcade. The only arcade I have seen larger than Sasebo's.
