Hello everyone, my name is Yoshida Koichi. Hello everyone, my name is minmin. It’s hot, it’s really hot. We came to Kumamoto today. I heard that there are more and more direct flights from Taiwan to Kumamoto recently. President, do you know why? Of course it’s because of TSMC (Taiwan Electric Co., Ltd. ) Ah, yes, TSMC has set up a factory in Kumamoto . Well, this time we will take you on a self-guided tour in Kumamoto. In addition to introducing you to Kumamoto’s self-guided tour attractions, we will also take you to see TSMC’s factory. Let’s go. Let’s go . It’s so hot. Behind us is the castle tower of Kumamoto Castle. Who built Kumamoto Castle? Everyone knows it, Kato Kiyomasa. Let me introduce who Kato Kiyomasa is. Let’s start with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga ’s confidant. And what is Kato Kiyomasa's entourage to Toyotomi Hideyoshi ? In fact, Kato Kiyomasa was responsible for everything in the life of a handyman . After Oda Nobunaga died in the Honnoji Temple, Kato Kiyomasa became active in the battles of Shibata Katsuie. From then on, his career was smooth. Originally just a handyman, he gradually became more and more famous, so the Kumamoto Castle was built. However, the Kato family did not sit on Kumamoto Castle from the beginning. Toyotomi Hideyoshi died . After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Edo shogunate, the Kato family resisted everywhere. Tokugawa Ieyasu was regarded as a thorn in the side and was eventually expelled from Kumamoto Castle. Instead, the Hosokawa family headed by Hosokawa Tadori took control of Kumamoto Castle until the late Shogunate. Kumamoto Castle was destroyed in the Great Kumamoto Earthquake and was restored to its original state . Please be sure to come and visit as you can visit it inside ! When you climb to the top floor of the castle tower, there is an observation deck. I heard that you can see the entire Kumamoto city in 360 degrees. The scenery is super good , and when the weather is good, you can even see Mount Aso . Let’s go up and have a look now. I will Come on, the weather is so hot when you climb the stairs (you can see the huge Kumamon bear on the building). After visiting Kumamoto Castle, you can also walk down the road. There is a facility below Kumamoto Castle called Sakuranobaba Castle Saien. There are a total of There are more than 20 shops selling Kumamoto's specialty products, such as ice cream or horse meat sushi. I heard that raw horse meat is a must-eat in Kumamoto , so we went to try it out. Take a look at (Sakura-no-baba Castle Saien's Summer Limited Ice Cream Festival) a display on Minister Kumamon's desk. Today, thanks to the president, we can come to the Kumamoto Prefectural Office Kumamoto Prefectural Office to have a super cute display . There is a desk for Minister Kumamon. Thanks to the president, we can also sneak into the staff office here . It is said that there is also an office dedicated to Minister Kumamon. Let’s go and see it together (full of bears!!) (There is a Formosan black bear easter egg in the lower right corner!!) (Ruff is at the main entrance of the prefectural office!) We came to JR Kumamoto Station. I always pass by it when I go south from Fukuoka and Hakata or north from Kagoshima , or in Kumamoto Station Transfer I have always been a bit dissatisfied with Kumamoto Station. That is why there are no exciting and interesting facilities in front of Kumamoto Station. So I always took a taxi straight to the city center after arriving at Kumamoto Station . The building is finally built! Very happy with the long-awaited new facility! AMUPLAZA is finally built. I have been here 3 times. In addition to the representative brands like UNUQLO and GU, there are also surprising brands like "Oh~ this brand is also available." Please be sure to come here and check it out . Let's go, let's start . Wow , the aroma of milk is delicious. In fact, I rarely eat sweet things, but I can't stop eating this one. The crust below is really delicious. ASO MILK's desserts are made from Aso Mountain. Milk delivered directly from the farm is made into crepes and drinks like this at Kurokawa Onsen! Check out the black bean and soybean flour flan cake ! Wow~~it’s the milky fragrance of Kumamon ! This is great. I will buy it as a souvenir for everyone in the company. I want to buy another one! Oh my god, I'm going crazy. It's so cute. We stayed at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Kumamoto today . Its biggest feature is that it has a Kumamon bear room. It's super cute. As soon as I came in, I was so cute by this Kumamon bear puppet that I fell asleep at night . You can also sleep with this Kumamon Minister stuffed doll , and there is also a small Kumamon pillow here . When you stay in this Kumamon room, it will also give you this welcome gift. This is a postcard. You can follow this Kumamon. Cut out the shape and it will turn into a Kumamon postcard. In addition, there will also be a folder like this Kumamoto Castle with the minister. It will also be given to guests as welcome souvenir gifts. Not only that, but also this one on the bed. The welcome banner and this little pillow are all in the shape of Kumamon. It ’s so cute. I screamed like crazy as soon as I walked in. It’s a Kumamon mug. It’s super cute. If I could stay in this Kumamon’s room, then It ’s super happy to have afternoon tea with this Kumamon mug. I burst out laughing as soon as I opened the bathroom door because it’s so cute. I didn’t expect that even the shower curtain is a Kumamon-shaped shower curtain. I’m currently located in Kiku, Kumamoto Prefecture. The total construction cost of the new TSMC factory in Yomachi is 1 trillion yen , half of which is about 500 billion yen. The construction of the TSMC factory is a national plan of Japan. The local population has increased and a large number of Taiwanese talents will come to Kumamoto in the future. People who work in related companies will also move here. Why was Kikuyo Town chosen as the construction site for the TSMC factory? Of course, there are many reasons. For example, in addition to the presence of semiconductor factories such as SONY Tokyo Weili Science and Technology, the more important thing is that the water quality here is very good because the water flowing from Aso Mountain is very good. The tap water in Kumamoto Prefecture is very delicious because it is needed in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Kumamoto Prefecture, which has many excellent water quality, was selected as the location to build TSMC factory. The Suntory (SUNTORY) factory is also in Kumamoto. The reason why Kumamoto’s Japanese sake is also delicious is because the water quality is very good. If you have a chance to visit, be sure to visit. Remember, the KEYWORD of Kumamoto is "water". Have you seen the Zoro statue behind me? It is said that Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, was born in Kumamoto . So why is there this bronze statue of Zoro here? It is said that it is because There was a big earthquake in Kumamoto before Then the author Eiichiro Oda wanted to give back to his hometown , so he set up this bronze statue of One Piece here. You can also see other popular characters of One Piece such as Luffy or Chopper, etc. in various places in Kumamoto. Bronze statues are installed in various places in Kumamoto. This Zoro bronze statue happens to be very close to the TSMC campus. So if you come here, you can also make a pilgrimage. There is also a small space inside Higo-Otsu Station called KUMAMON. BASE is Kumamon's secret base. There are many cute little things with Kumamon elements on display. You can also take a shuttle bus from the airport to this station, so it is very convenient (the foot pad is the back of Kumamon's head!!) We are here now In the urban area of Kumamoto, you can see that the large building behind me is the Tsuruya Department Store, a very representative old department store in Kumamoto . It is said to have a history of 70 years , and there are a total of 4 buildings here. So it’s very easy to go shopping in front of Tsuruya Department Store. You can also see Kumamoto’s most famous streetcar, Kumamoto City Electric . There are also two shopping streets, Kamidori and Shitori, that are very easy to visit. So if you come here, If you visit Kumamoto, don’t forget to visit this attraction. I love Kumamoto so much. Before the epidemic, I would come to Kumamoto every month if I had nothing to do. This shopping street is still very lively until late at night. Oh, and by the way, there is Don Quijote in front. Speaking of Don Quijote, we have also made a video before to introduce the use of coupons. Please remember to use "Le Eat Shopping" when traveling and shopping in Japan ! Coupon for "Japan" We are now at Tapiking Pearl Milk Tea. This is the most famous local pearl milk tea shop just recommended to us by the local friend of the president Kumamoto. Its specialty is that its pearls are topped with a milkshake-like smoothie. And what I just ordered is the strawberry cheesecake flavor with the colorful pearls below. It’s delicious. We just drove to this seaside Nagabeda Seabed Road. It is said to be Kumamoto’s secret sunset spot and was once voted as the famous sunset in Japan. The top 100 scenery here is really super beautiful. Everyone exclaimed as soon as I got off the bus. Moreover, the most famous scenic spot here is this road. It is said that when the tide is low, you can see the straight road extending into the sea . The scenes in Kamigakure Shoujo are also really beautiful , so if you are traveling to Kumamoto and renting a car, I highly recommend that you include this attraction (Gibel is here!!). There is a stall where you can try Japanese sake . Come and try it. It’s great. There are many kinds of Japanese sake here , and it’s only 100 yen. It’s so cheap . Just put in a 100 yen coin like this. When the wine comes out, the alcohol concentration of the Japanese sake here is about 20 degrees or more. The taste is just right . It tastes smooth and has a fruity aroma. What kind of wine is the president drinking? Cow milk shochu’s ranch’s dream ( Ranch’s dream ) actually has this kind of liquor . It ferments milk and rice to give out a fruity aroma like apple. Let’s drink this this time. Kuma no rapid flow (Kuma no rapid flow) This liquor is the first to drink it. It's very impactful, rich in layers , and very drinkable. The best Kumamoto's Suntory THE MALT'S draft beer is because Kumamoto's water quality is very good. The Suntory (SUNTORY) brewery is established in Kumamoto. It's rare to have the opportunity to drink such a high-quality SUNTORY (SUNTORY). ) Beer Kumamoto Yatai Village is a new facility established in 2022. It is a Yatai Village with more than 20 shops that gathers the essence of Kyushu's gourmet food. It is also my first time here and I am very excited. There is "SENBERO HAPPYHOUR" written here at the entrance ! Do you know what it means? what is it then? It’s great that you can get drunk for only 1,000 yen ! But if I only drink 1,000 yen today, I will never be satisfied . I may drink around 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 yen . Let’s increase Kumamoto’s GDP! The great thing about Kumamoto is that the vegetables, seafood and meat are all delicious! For chicken, there is the famous "Amakusa Daio Chicken". For pork, there is the specialty "gentian pig" (りんどうポーク). When it comes to beef, of course it is Kumamoto Akagyu. Take a look at this Kumamoto Akagyu that is shiny with oil . Today Make Sukiyaki with Kumamoto Aka Beef! 3,2,1 Wow~ Mix it with egg yolk like this and I’m going to start it! You don’t even need to use your teeth to bite into it and the delicious taste of the meat spreads in your mouth. It’s delicious when paired with Highball ! marvelous! Today we came to Aso Shrine in Aso, Kumamoto. It is said that this Aso Shrine is the headquarter of Aso Shrine in Japan. You can see the gate of Aso Shrine behind me. It was actually built during the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake. It was almost completely destroyed and razed to the ground. After about 7 years, the construction is finally almost completed. So if you come to Aso City, I suggest you come to visit the rebuilt Aso Shrine. We are now here . Aso Shrine’s famous wishing stone has an introduction on it, saying that the wishing stone here is mainly used by Aso Daimyojin to help us realize our wishes. Just make your wish three times and then touch this stone . It is said that your wish will come true. I hope the channel can quickly exceed 500,000 subscribers. I hope the channel can quickly exceed 500,000 subscribers. I hope the channel can quickly exceed 500,000 subscribers. Is this too official? (The crater can be reached by taking the Kumamon shuttle bus!) We are located in the Aso Crater . The Sushan Group is one of the few large-scale active volcanoes in the world. You can actually smell the gas on site. There are also warnings near the crater to prevent you from getting too close. Here you can strongly feel the shock of nature! Once Mount Aso erupts, the scale of the eruption will carry a large amount of volcanic ash. If it floats to Osaka, Tokyo and even Hokkaido, it may cause a nationwide disaster. Mount Aso is a volcano of such a large scale! We are now at the prairie on Mt. Aso , which is called Sosenriwa . As soon as we get up, we can see the endless prairie. It is said that many horses and cattle usually live here. You can also choose to experience riding a horse . When we first arrived, we saw some horses grazing in the distance . However, because of the bad weather today, the horses may have taken refuge just now. Then we heard that the entire size of this prairie with thousands of miles of grass is actually 78. Ten thousand square meters, super big When I came here, I really felt that it was endless. There was a little rain just now , so there was accumulated water there, and it turned into a lake. The scenery is really beautiful. I recommend everyone to come over. Okay, what we are going to enjoy now is this. You can’t go to Aso without eating Aka Beef! The one I’m ordering now is the Akagi donburi. The famous one here is the Akagi beef that the president just mentioned. I’m ordering the Akagi hamburger steak and it feels like it melts in your mouth . The aroma of the meat melts in your mouth without even having to bite. Tangy, so delicious. The specialty of Aso's specialty Akagi is that it is "naked" and has less oily parts . The president just gave me a piece. I want to come and eat it to see how delicious it is. Although there is not much oily part. But it is super soft and tender and will melt in your mouth. In many tourist attractions in Japan, after going up the mountain, you will be worried that there will be no place to eat, but there is a whole row of rest areas here where you can eat delicious food. It is great and you can eat my favorites. I’m really happy that Urban Kumamoto was made into a video and introduced to everyone! The thing that impressed me the most was Kumamoto Akagi! Yes, Kumamoto Akagyu is delicious! But my favorite is the one on Nagabeda Kaidoko Road. The seaside is super beautiful. Yes, it is very beautiful at dusk. Kumamoto will also change the appearance of urban and rural areas in the future because Taiwanese capital will enter the TSMC factory to promote development and growth. Japan’s population growth is slowing down and aging . Even as the population increases, Kumamoto continues to grow and flourish. People are very excited to see what kind of city Kumamoto will develop into in the future. We are now at the Kumamoto Airport. I heard that it was just built this year, right? It has been under construction before and finally it is here . It’s completed this year! In addition to integrating the domestic and international lines of the airport into the same terminal, various stores such as bars and sushi have been recruited to increase the variety of the mall. Passengers coming to Aso Kumamoto Airport are advised to arrive 1 hour to 3 hours early. Take a walk at the airport! Like this newly opened Kumamoto Airport, it is really rich in facilities. It is very beautiful and the whole decoration is very fashionable. So if you come to Kumamoto, I suggest you take a direct flight to Kumamoto Airport and have some fun. Like today?
