In Kumamoto's journey, when you play "Kumamon saw a game to die"



Quadratic, secondary and tertiary full of heavy monsters. Walking around the city of Kumamoto makes Kumamon catch her eyes everywhere. On the contrary it is an idol 's point of view that at the base of the bear monsquare it is performing until the event. The body is metabolic but the dance is crisp. I was laughed at a truly entertainer. It is regrettable. Damn it.

Hello,Takuya SAITO who did a round around the world by bicycle @ Charridermanis. I had a chance to go to Kumamoto for a moment, so I was looking for Kumamon as much as I could. I also went to see him.

◆ What is Kumamon
It was made in line with the opening of the entire Kyushu Shinkansen line in March 2011PR Character of Kumamoto Prefectureis. The "black bear" included in the prefecture's name is a motif, and the black color matched to the black painted Kumamoto castle has become a keynote character. The two gentle cheeks are the same red as the Hinomaru. When I drew a line with other characters I felt a blurred expression and became very popular. It is an active player that can be said to be a "winning group" winning bear in the local character increased so much that it can not be collected. It is the Yuru Character Grand Prix champion of 2011.

◆ I will die if I see Kumamon
Such a tweet became a hot topic at the end of February 2016.

The city of Kumamoto seemed to be full of dumpling.

◆ Kumamoto city sightseeing
Because I knew this kind of thing, I intended to go to Kumamoto someday. And in October 2016 that opportunity came. We stayed in Kumamoto for 2 nights. Walking around the city of Kumamoto and encountering Kumamon like this.

I reached Kumamoto by train, but it was full of Kumamon from Kumamoto station. The station building is also named "Kumamon station".


Kumamon statue was in the tourist facility named "Sakura Baba Castle Garden" inside Kumamoto Castle.


Free Wi - Fi design is also excellent.


There was a giant figure of Kumamon in the building of Kumamoto Shinkin Bank, which is also near Kumamoto Castle. It was like a great Buddha.


Potted plants of Shimoda Arcade which is the busiest downtown area in Kumamoto City.


There was also a karaoke Big Echo. The red color of the shop's color tobacco cheeks was in perfect harmony.


Atmosphere that welcomes customers coming to BAR.


I think that it was also BAR. In a pose holding a batPunikiIt was discovery and chewing alone.


A shop's signboard that sold a thin skunk (doll).


I also found "wood carving bear" "wood carved cum". He had a blurred face.


Paper clay made by elementary school children.


There was an illustration that took a bath.

◆ Kumamonsuuea
Kumamoto prefecture's main Kumamon interchange space was also in Kumamoto city. It is a facility named "Kumamosekua". Inside the house there is a sales manager's office which will be the workplace of Kumamon, a light snack corner using the special products of Kumamoto, a souvenir corner where Kumama mon goods are arranged side by side only. Since there are other wild plants in other places, please try looking. You will be on a bike or it will be a post.

Here is a Google map.


It is the first floor of Tsuruya East Building (Tetoria Kumamoto Building) which is a major department store in the area.


The bear mon version of the teddy bear is also decorated. German teddy bear manufacturerSteiffIt is what the company donated.


There was also a sticky picture. Black and red fish gather like a swimmer in a picture book and it is a picture.


Clock in the building.


Kumamon comes to the hall with 1 or 2 events a day. I will dance on the stage. The event of the day was only once. Eager fans still sit still in front of the stage, even an hour ago. Only 30 minutes ago there was no place to sit and standing only. If there are too many people, guidance will be given to restrict the number of people to ensure safety. I stood and waited.

At the same time as the appearance of Kumamon, inside the hall. Yellow cheers spring up. Is not it an idol event? Kumamon standing on the stage does not speak a word. The older sister under the stage acts as a moderator. The exchanges between this older sister and Kumamon were exquisite and made me laugh several times. It was the atmosphere that is doing a comic. Kumamoto dialects such as "Ken", "I want to," "Yoka" and so on are all comfortable. In addition, Kumamon dances on the stage. It was a dance with no chance to match that body shape. The song "Kumamon gymnastics" repeated by Kumamon dancing "Mont! Mon! Mon! Kumamon ~" will not leave my head.

I bought stickers, straps, pin badges and souvenirs at Kumamonsu. Both paper bags and plastic bags in packaging are full of dumplings and they do not care.


◆ Kumamoto earthquake
In April 2016, Kumamoto was hit by a big earthquake. Municipalities such as Kumamoto City, Mashiro Town, Nishihara Village, Minamiaso Village are experiencing major damage. The Aso Bridge in the main points of transport also collapsed. The Kumamoto castle which is the symbol of Kumamoto city has also suffered severe damage such as stone wall crumbling and castle tower tile falling. I guess I caught a cheering message with Kumamon at various places in the city.

Kumamoto Daruma wishing for reconstruction. "Still not doing" is a valuable Kumamoto dialect.


Campaign for coca-cola vending machines. Rewrite! Kumamoto.


I wish for a smile to return to my favorite Kumamoto.


Kumamoto Castle is one of the best castles in Japan, even though it was damaged. The scenery woven by Ishigaki, fence, tower, and castle tower is splendid. Aso 's caldera is also a magnificent view that is not words. The magnificent ground that fits in the bowl that looks out from Taikan Peak is also a masterpiece. If you like Kumamon, "Game to die if you see Kumamon" will also be exciting. It is not a reconstruction assistance, but I definitely want you to visit Kumamoto.

It was a trip to Kumamoto where we enjoyed ourselves. I was filled with a cured rumor as the net rumored.Copy of "I did it moshamusha"Although it is not "I am surprised now that the Kumamoto that I did it is good" I am surprised.
