Today I met a friend of a friend of my mothers (figure that one out) who took me around a few of the sights of Kumamoto. The weather was great and the cherry-blossoms where flowering all over the city. Lunch was interesting, it was at a resturant that specialised in tofu. We had a four course lunch that consisted of tofu salad, tofu soup, fried tofu, steamed egg and eel rice all finished off with a tofu and mandarin desert (which tasted a lot better than it sounded at the time).
It was a very good day, my thanks goes out to Mrs Tobioka for taking the time to show me around.
I took a lot of photographs and here are just a few of them (click on a photo to enlarge):
