Car Hire in Kumamoto Airport - Mini guide to Kumamoto Airport
Kumamoto is the capital of the prefecture of Kumamoto. It is located on Kyushu Island, the southernmost of the four main Japanese islands. The city dates back to 1588, when Kito Kiyomasa built Kumamoto Castle. A former prime minister of Japan, Hosokawa Morchiro, as well as Peru’s former president Alberto Fujimori, has ancestral roots in the area.
The city’s most famous landmark is the castle, which was restored in the 1970s. This castle’s unique architectural features make it one of the most well known in Japan. In addition to the castle, the city also boasts a number of parks and gardens done in the traditional Japanese style.
One famous highlight of the area is the Aso caldera, one of the largest active volcanoes in Japan. It is located an hour’s drive from Kumamoto. In addition to the caldera, there are numerous other lakes, rivers, gorges and bridges in the area surrounding Kumamoto. In addition to these historical and natural sights, Kumamoto also offers numerous festivals. These are generally held from July to October. These include the famous Hinokuni Festival and the Festival Kiyomasa Kato.
Hiring a car can provide you with a convenient way to see the many far-flung sights of the Kumamoto area. There are several major car hire companies with offices located at both the airport and within the Kumamoto metropolitan area. With a hired car, you won’t be chained to bus and train schedules, but will instead be able to enjoy Kumamoto at your own pace. Be sure to reserve your car ahead of time to insure availability and the lowest rate.
