Old Meets New in Kumamoto

Kumamoto—located in central Kyushu—is a regional economic and political hub. The city's symbol is Kumamoto Castle, rebuilt faithfully to its original state 400 years ago. Our reporter, Nelson, visits an old shopping district. He enjoys local delicacies and meets warm creative people in an emerging arts district.
