[Kawajiri area]

Located about 8km south of central Kumamoto, the Kawajiri district at the mouth of the Midorikawa and Kasegawa rivers flourished as a water transport hub during the Edo period, and historical buildings that recall those days still remain today. In addition to the wharf, a national historic site, and the rice storehouses that housed the Kumamoto domain's rice tax, you can also enjoy a stroll around the town lined with town houses and sake breweries from the late Edo period, or visit the Japanese confectionery shops scattered throughout the town. You can also experience traditional crafts at the Kumamoto Crafts Hall, where artisans demonstrate their work and display and sell their products.

[Restaurant Iwamura]

Founded 50 years ago, this restaurant is loved by local Kawajiri residents for its kaiseki cuisine made with seasonal ingredients and eel dishes. Enjoy the eel kaiseki course, which can only be tasted here, made with "Zuiyo" red sake from Tohi and red bean paste from the famous Japanese confectionery shop "Kaikaiseriroku Kasho," in a fantastic location overlooking the Kasegawa River.
