Sakuranobaba Johsaien is a facility for tourism and cultural exchange. 
It consists of “The Wakuwakuza History and Cultural Experience” and “The Sakuranokouji Shopping Arcade.” 
In Wakuwakuza, you can learn about the history of Kumamoto with interactive and virtual exhibits.
The shopping arcade is modelled after a castle town from 300 years ago and has over 20 stores. At these stores you can try local specialty foods and buy souvenirs.

Volunteer tour guides are available at the Tourism Information Center and will be happy to tell you about the area.
