The next stop was the famous Kumamoto Castle. Like most castles, this castle has a moat too. We had an elderly gentleman and lady as our castle guides.
Castle, Warrior, Ninja and Guard! Photo time!
The inside of the castle was elaborately done up.
The highest castle was 6 stories tall. The steps were steep, narrow and small. But the view up at the highest point was worth of the effort. The view changed as one walked from window to window at the top.

After the Daizaifu Tenmagu Shrine, we headed to the Kumamoto Food Pal to have lunch and also to visit the pastry making factory. The whole place was designed to be like a nice garden with very beautiful flowers blooming. Our lunch is a fusion of Western and Japanese food. There was free flow dessert - coffee, tea, cream puff, chocolate cakes, coffee jelly and almond jelly.
After lunch, we went to the pastry making demonstration shop which was just beside the lunch building. In the shop, there were an area where visitors can view the demonstration how pastry were made with machinery. The other area was for display and items for sale.
The whole area was like a garden park. This is the season where flowers bloom.
