Nice city, have many activities can do.
The Castle is worth seeing. If you have time Mt Aso is a must see.
Nice city to spend couple of day. They are still under the recovery of the earthquake. Many places still closed for a visitation. However, it was nice enough to stroll in the city, enjoy local food and Kumamon.
My time there was not the best because many highlight places were under reconstruction .
