Now that I have watched it, I am not sure about the Kumamon room. In one way, I love it, because its special, crazy, cute, and totally Japanese. But I think its too much and for me, it turned from cute, to too much, totally over the top and not longer enjoyable.
Haha, it definitely is a lot of Kumamon to be staring at you while you sleep! 😂 I'll have another video coming up about Kumamon hunting around Kumamoto that you might like. It was really fun, and Kumamon's show was just delightful!
those hair bands are great! sadly i chose not to take the black one during my trip. got purple, lime green ones but since i do dye my hair either red or purple the black one i didnt take would've been a good souvenir... cant use green or purple much unless my hair is thoroughly washed of dye..
I'm so charmed by how proud the people of Kumamoto seem to be of their city. I had hoped to visit last year when we were in Fukuoka but couldn't find the time. How do you get around the country now that the JR pass is so much more expensive?
It's really great how Kumamon helped raise funds for the city to help repair everything after the earthquake. For this trip I used a regional rail pass, together with the overnight ferry and a single shinkansen ticket. Depending on your plans, regional passes can still save you money - or it can work out well just buying the individual shinkansen tickets.
Hi Amy, thank you for this Kumamon video. It popped up with perfect timing as I was planning my forthcoming trip to Kyushu. As someone who likes Kumamon (I can even say it's rather addictive), I didn't know such a themed hotel room existed!! It turns out that the room introduced here is no longer available in "The New Hotel Kumamoto" according to the hotel, which is currently under renovation to be opening soon with a rebranded name. Looking further afield, however, there seems to be two other hotels featuring Kumamon rooms - "ANA Crown Plaza Hotel Kumamoto New Sky" and "Mitsui Garden Hotel Kumamoto". I'm hoping to stay at either of these. 😄
Ah that's sad it's being rebranded. Here's the list of Kumamon hotel rooms: kumamon-land.jp/looks/detail/29087f3f-66a3-43d9-9627-685f37a32bc9 Lots more you'll like on that site if you're a Kumamon fan. There's even a Kumamon rental car!
I am actually planning to stop by Kumamoto on my way from Nagasaki to Fukuoka to see Kumaon at Kumaon sq. in my upcoming Japan trip (in a week) haha I saw you went and saw the live show there and I know you prob have a whole new video talks about it.. but can I ask, based on their website, the live show starts at 2pm daily (except Tues), did you need to go early to line up? How did you get the ticket? Was it throw a lottery system or you just bought the ticket? Thanks!
Great plan! I loved Mount Unzen/Shimabara between Nagasaki and Kumamoto. I got there quite early for the Kumamon show. There wasn't a ticket or a line, but the crowd started gathering in Kumamon Square, so if you get there early you can stake out a good spot. I was surprised how many people were there, even on a weekday in the off-season. The show was so much fun!
Good evening Amy, how are you? 🤔 You're almost at 60K subscribers here & I hope you reach that milestone soon!! Nice Hotel 🏨 there in Japan, and the Kumamon display toys 🧸 look so adorable 😍
Haha, it was very tempting but I didn't want to get arrested by the Japanese police. 😂 I can only imagine them doing an inventory of all the Kumamons when they reset the room..!
Is fare evasion a thing in Japan?🇯🇵Just watched fare evaders on the London uk underground on you tube. Just shocking these fare evaders illustrate such a low scum attitude🇬🇧😊
So fun!
It was an honour to stay with so many Kumamons!!
Kumamon everywhere 🤩🤩🤩 I must visit this fun awesomeness place thank you so much for this always helpful video you guys do 👏👏👏
It's so much fun!
Just booked my very first trip to Tokyo today and ordered you book immediately!!
Ooh exciting! I'm sure you'll love it there. Thanks so much!
I could just imagine you leaving with more suitcases than you arrived with, all bursting at the seams full of Kumamon, "just act natural!.." 😂
Haha, no one will ever know...! As long as all the Kumamon keep quiet!
I love Kumamon, so I am really looking forward to enjoy this video.

Hair dye problems!! I know them well...! 😅
@@cakeswithfaces and just when you think its washed out sufficiently you find out it isnt.
@@Nelsea7190 With red or pink, the water never runs clear!
@@cakeswithfaces sadly im a sucker for violet or red so im stuck with this 1st world problem :)
@@Nelsea7190 Haha it's worth it! 🙂
Thanks Amy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@cakeswithfaces My mom is from Kyushu, I can't wait for your next post! Stay safe and healthy to you both!
@@garys5540 Ah I love Kyushu! So many interesting places!

@@cakeswithfaces Thank you! The overnight ferry sure seems like a fun adventure.
@@briandemodulated It was like a mini cruise!
The kumamon bed is cool as hell 👍🏻
They went all-out on the Kumamon!
@@cakeswithfaces They sure did. Admit it, you took some of those Kumamon amenities home with u, didn't you? 😂

I'm looking forward to editing it - Kumamon's show was so much fun!

60k will be something to celebrate! Looking forward to editing my other Kumamon video too - their show was so much fun!
@@cakeswithfaces I can't wait for it!
Kumamon! 😀 Japanese mascots are awesome.
Hope I can meet more of them!
Great room!. I would love to have the bed spreads. I wonder if they get a lot of Kumamons taken as souvenirs? (Did you?😄)
Haha, it was very tempting but I didn't want to get arrested by the Japanese police. 😂 I can only imagine them doing an inventory of all the Kumamons when they reset the room..!
Pinky mascot's Japan trip when? 😉
That would be amazing! 😂 Imagine if Pinky met Kumamon! 😂
Now I am wondering if Mr. Blobby escaped from Japan.
The home of all mascots!
Awesome job drop a like for you
Thank you! ✨

🙌🙌
But how do the Japanese treat real bears?🤔
They're not always so friendly.... as we know from the recent story of a bear that invaded a supermarket!!
Is fare evasion a thing in Japan?🇯🇵Just watched fare evaders on the London uk underground on you tube. Just shocking these fare evaders illustrate such a low scum attitude🇬🇧😊
People in Japan are a LOT more honest and law-abiding than in London, so I don't think it's really a thing.
@@cakeswithfaces i was in Singapore recently: millions of people no fare evasion clean modern efficient on time and very safe metro system🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
