Kyushu 2023 - Kumamoto Taking the A-Train to Mizumi
I really like the A-Train, cause everything about it looked so classy. Even the control room on the train looks beautiful. Must be the colour scheme. It made all the difference.
Here is a view of the control room as well as the track. The view was just lovely.
Making our way to the other carriages. There was a viewing carriage where you could just sit there and chill. Seriously, I wonder why won't most people just make their way here instead of sticking to their boring seats.

Kyushu 2023 - Kumamoto A-Train
Our next train ride was the classy jazzy A-Train. And here it comes! We are taking it to Mizumi Town for a day trip and back. What is there to do at Mizumi? Hahahahaha. That is not the point. The point is to take as many limited train as possible while our Kyushu JR pass is valid!

Kyushu 2023 - Kumamoto Station Morning Walk
Next morning, after a nice hotel breakfast, we took a slow walk to Kumamoto JR Station.
Here is my breakfast for the day. I try to eat a little bit of everything. Even though I could cook probably everything here, it is still a luxury whenever I can just open my mouth and eat without having to put in any effort except paying :P

Kyushu 2023 - Kumamoto City and Izakaya Dinner
Kumamoto is famous for their red beef meat, as well as horse meat. My husband was not having any of those horse meat idea, so I guess I have to settle for beef. I've already travelled all the way here, got to find the courage to part with my hard earn money to experience local Japanese beef. What better place to do so than here, a not so touristy place as compared to Tokyo or Osaka or Kyoto! And so, I found us a beef place to try. An Izakaya.

Kyushu 2023 - Kumamoto City and Lunch
Can't leave any tourist attractions in Kumamoto without seeing Kumamon! He is everywhere. Here's him standing randomly at the food area outside the grounds of Waku-Waku Museum. As the food around there was rather tourist price, we didn't really eat anything there.
Saw the latest Murakami booked on sale here, and practically everywhere. Fun fact, it's 2025 now and I still haven't read this book, nor have I bought it. Why is that? Maybe it's time to dive into the world of surrealism again? Been reading so much books recently now that I can afford the time to.
