The train station was right there. Very tempting to take considering the lousy weather. Besides the train station, there was a preserved steam locomotive on display right outside the station.

| Kumamoto train |
Japan loves trains and loves mascots. I spotted this train with the Kumamoto mascot "Kumamon" emblazoned on its sides. In April 16, 2016 Kumamoto suffered a 7.1 magnitude earthquake which severely damaged Kumamoto Castle, the cities infrastructure and killed 50 people.

| Family Mart Train |
Family Mart is one of the major chains of 'Conbini' (convenient stores) throughout Japan. These conbini are cycle tourist 'go to' place for sustenance, food, snacks and replenishing fluids. This is just a regular passenger car but painted in the Family Mart colors.
