On 14 April 2016, a massive earthquake (magnitude 6.2) struck Kumamoto prefecture and damaged numerous structures of the Kumamoto Castle complex including the main castle. Routes and pathways were still open and available for visitors. During our visit, efforts for reconstruction of Kumamoto castle were under way as can be seen in the background of this photo. The Uto Yagura turret (foreground), on the other hand, survived the quake and remains intact.
Kumamoto Castle suffered huge damages during the strong earthquakes in May. I was there earlier today & saw this from the Kumamoto City Hall observation deck. Many families who lost homes still seek help from the City Hall. Some parts of the foundations were damaged as well as roofs. Castle is closed. #endlesssummer

8.6/10 Excellent! (196 reviews)
The hotel is in a good location near to the shopping district however the room assigned to us and our child was very cramped with hardly any walking space and we are unable to open up our luggage. And there are wardrobe to hand our jackets, only 4 wall hangers. The shower room is also tiny and no space to hang up the toilets. Not suitable for families.

Spacious room comparing to some other hotels had room for two big suitcases and still had room to walk. Easy to access the bus to travel around as it was right outside the corner of hotel.
