Reigando Cave - Kumamoto
I'm sorry that this video isn't as good as the last one. As I began editing it I realized that somehow a lot of the footage I had taken disappeared/gone missing/deleted.
This is Reigando Cave. It's an awesome place to go! Walking among the statues gives a surreal feeling--that you're not alone.

Entry Title: Reigando, the shrine and cave of Miyamoto Musashi
Entry:
After we rested the whole day before we were ready for our most difficult destination. We took the train to Kumamoto and asked for guidance in order to find the cave Reigando where the greatest Samurai of all times Miyamoto Musashi wrote the Gorinnosho (The book of the five rings) and the Dokkodo (the lonely path or maybe the Path of Lonelyness)before his death. The people at the information center tried to be helpful, but in the end gave us bas advice. They told us that there is a tourist bus that would visit our cave and a couple other spots related to Musashi in 4 hours. According to them tour would start at Kumamoto Castle. So we took the Tram there and checked the castle out. However we did not find a bus starting from there. Finally we went to the central bus station and bought tickets for the bus that would go directly there. It was about 3 PM then, but the next bus we could take was departing at 4:22 PM and would need until 4:51 PM to reach the cave. The last bus to bring us back into civilized regions however would depart at 17:36 so we had barely 20 minutes to go up to the cave and 20 minutes to get back to the bus stop. It seemed impossible, but we did not want to give up easily. We took the bus which would leave Kumamoto and then drive on many serpentines up the mountains. You had a fabulous view on Kumamoto from up top there, but the ride really felt like being on a roller coaster. I thought if the bus hits the guard railing we would be done for real. ;-) We arrived safely nevertheless and began the way up to the cave. What was supposed to take 20 or more minutes took us only nearly 15 minutes. I paid the 200 Yen and stormed inside. I had about 7 minutes until we had to run back down. Ignoring the pain I managed to get to the end, make photos and get out alive again to storm back down the mountain to get the bus back. We made it, but I was totally exhausted. I would really like to spent more time in Kumamoto, there is lots more to see there and the city is pretty nice, too. We are currently in an internet cafe because we don't have internet access in our hotel. Therefor there may be no more entries until we are back in Tokyo.

Kumamoto Castle Comes Back to Life: Touring the Grounds During Reconstruction | nippon.com
The April 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes damaged all 33 structures in the Kumamoto Castle complex and caused a third of the castle’s stone walls to collapse. Reconstruction has started and is projected to take some 20 years. As of September 2018, all of the castle structures are closed, but visitors can walk a tour route around the castle grounds to observe the repair work in progress.

TOURING THRU KUMAMOTO // TRAVEL DIARY
Officially my 10th video documenting my trip to JAPAN! All shot on a GoPro Hero5.
We arrived in Kumamoto the day prior. Today is the day that was actually anticipated. Both my brother and father wanted to see the Reigando Cave and that is what we did first thing in the morning. For those that don't know, it was temporarily home to a ronin, Miyamoto Musashi. In the cave he wrote Book of Five Rings, which introduced Musashi to my family.
After the cave, we met a cat. No surprise but we had to stop and give it a little love an attention. We then head to a samurai workshop. There a Swedish man, Hans Koga, works on and repairs swords. He showed us his collection. My brother saw a cockroach and then Koga proceeded to tell us that it was fine because a huge Huntsman preys on them. We did not stay too long, suffice to say.
Last stop of the day was at Matsunaga Genrokuro's workshop. He showed us how he makes his swords. Sparks flew and burnt holes in our tour guide's jacket. After the demonstration we watched his students cut bamboo mats, and after both my brother and father got to try. And so ended our day in Kumamoto.
