The Best of Kumamoto

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:00:01 +0100

Ancient warriors lay siege to an impregnable fortress, travelers drink from the magical waters of a sacred garden, and a colossal volcano spits ash and sulfurous fumes into the sky. These scenes may seem sound familiar, especially to fans of Lord of the Rings, but they are not from Middle Earth or any other fictional land. The magnificent Kumamoto Castle, Suizen-ji Garden and Mount Aso can all be found in southern Japan.

It’s tough to be in fourth place. For sheer size Tokyo, Yokohama and Osaka take the Gold, Silver and Bronze. Meanwhile Nagoya, Japan’s fourth-biggest city is often overlooked. Nagoya, however, has a lot to offer, from an impressive castle and sacred shrines, to the latest in high-tech buildings and automobiles. Explore the city, and then use it as a base to discover the delights of central Japan.

Dr. Makoto Suzuki is a cardiologist and geriatrician. In 1976, he moved from Tokyo to Okinawa and began work at the Ryukyu University Hospital. While working in the field of community medicine, he discovered that there were an unusually high number of very healthy old people living on Okinawa. He began the Okinawa Centenarian Study, which has documented the phenomenon for more than 30 years. The findings of his research became the basis of several books that became bestsellers in Japan and around the world.
