Short walk from the Castle with a bunch of little shops and places to eat. We stopped and had a great coffee and some deserts.

If you don't have much time in Kumamoto and have a few hours to kill, this is the place for you. Lots of eateries and souvenirs. Great for families with older people and younger kids as it is...

Nice little collection of foods and souvenir stores. Plenty of place to sit and rest while eating the snacks you bought. I highly recommend the honey ice cream.

Nice for the atmosphere, but its a typical tourist trap gift shop/eatery stall. It didnt help it was rainy the day we were there and forced to buy umbrella at the gift shop (although 500 yen for one isn't such a price gouge and about par with a convenience store). But if you are looking for a one stop shop for omiyage, this is the right place.
