Kumamoto Prefecture is located in the heart of Kyushu, Japan's southernmost main island. The prefecture is known for its rich natural heritage, including Mount Aso, one of the world's largest active volcanoes with its distinctive caldera.
The region's cultural landscape is anchored by Kumamoto Castle, an impressive fortress originally built in the early 17th century, which stands as one of Japan's most important historic landmarks despite damage from the 2016 earthquake. The area has a strong traditional crafts heritage, particularly in pottery and silk weaving.
The prefecture seamlessly blends its agricultural roots, producing high-quality rice, vegetables, and renowned watermelons, with modern urban development centered around Kumamoto City, its capital.
