[2025 Kumamoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Kumamoto City Zoo and Botanical Garden (Updated Jul)

#Travel Guide Pay 1,000 yen in cash when checking out at 7:20. Nagasaki had a 100 yen accommodation tax, but Kumamoto doesn't seem to have one yet. Go to Suizenji Park and meet the first Keroro manhole and the Luffy statue at the Kumamoto Prefectural Office. Visit the Kumamoto City Waterworks and Sewerage Bureau to receive the Kumamoto City manhole card. Take the bus to the Kumamoto Zoo and Botanical Garden. Here, you get the second Keroro manhole and meet the Chopper statue. The weather is as good as yesterday. Enter the zoo and botanical garden. Kumamon is active here and there in the zoo. The animal friends are also exhausted from the heat and have no energy to scream. Find Keroro friends hiding here and there. Take pictures of the animal farm for about an hour. After that, go to the Kumamoto Water Science Museum. There is a pool for children. Dozens of children and mothers are playing in the water in the heat since the morning. Here, I received a Keroro manhole card and also looked around the manhole. Thank you.

Because I snagged a special fare ticket to Kumamoto with HK express, I arranged a trip to Southern Kyushu 😝 Before departure, all I knew about Kumamoto were Kumamoto Bear, Kumamoto Castle, and Mount Aso, having no idea what other attractions there were 🙈 In the city, the main mode of transportation is by tram, and then I got curious when I saw a station named 'Zoo', so I did some research online and discovered there were a lot of animals, and even a vast field of rapeseed flowers. The visit was indeed full of surprises 😍 There were so many types of animals, and most of them could be seen up close. In the end, I spent over 3 hours there before I was willing to leave 😝

Tickets for Kumamoto Zoo and Botanical Gardens are only a few dozen yuan And I just happened to meet a kid for free, saving a lot Parking is free on weekdays and only 200 yen on weekends Animals include giraffes, elephants, deer, penguins, polar bears, etc. Amusement rides are charged item by item, 200 yen/time The kids had a lot of fun 🥳 There is a water dispenser at the entrance, and there are snack shops and soft ice cream bars inside the venue. Very suitable for children's family attractions #Kumamoto #Zoo #Kyushu #Self-driving #Japan
