Kumamoto Station Featured At JapanTourist

Eitetsu Terakado, one of my co-contributors at JapanTourist, has posted an article on Kumamoto Station in Kumamoto, Kyushu.

Kumamoto Station is the embarkation point to Mount Aso Volcano National Park from Kumamoto on the Hohi Line (also spelled Houhi Line) of the Kyushu Railway Company. Mount Aso was featured in Rodan (1956). Mount Aso Volcano is spotlighted in The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan on page 46.

A new shinkansen service has recently opened between Hakata (Fukuoka) and Kumamoto. When I visited Kumamoto and Kyushu back in 2007, I had to rely upon local commuter trains.

Besides being the way to Mount Aso, Kumamoto is also the home of Ultramanland. Ultramanland is spotlighted on page 49 of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
