HOME TOWN


I'm living in Sydney, Australia, but I'm from Japan.

As you know, the capital of Japan is Tokyo.

Even Tokyo is very small, it has a big population, around 13million.

Not only Tokyo, but neighboring prefectures also have large population, so the population of metropolitan area of Japan is lager than that of whole Australia! Heavily populated, isn't it?


But, I've been to Tokyo only once.

I'm not from Tokyo, I'm from KUMAMOTO.
My home town is not very famous, and doesn't have a large population. About 2million? I think.

But I love KUMAMOTO so much.

Even it's a developed town (I mean concenient), there are the mountains covered in fresh greenery, rivers, sea and historic buildings.

Specially, Mt.Aso, which has the largest crater in the world, and Kumamoto Castle are tourist attractions.

Oh! I must mention about hot spring!

There is a hot-spring resort called "Kurokawa Onsen".

If you have a chance to go to Kumamato, you should go there!


The red zone of the map is my home town, Kumamoto.

Can you see it?
