Yatsushiro, Historical castle town in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan
Yatsushiro stretches along the coast of the Yatsushiro Sea, featuring both traditional and modern areas connected by an efficient transportation network.
The city underwent significant changes in 2005 when several municipalities including Izumi, Kagami, Sakamoto, Senchō, and Tōyō merged into a single administrative unit.
The Stone Masonry Museum displays the traditional Taneyama stonemasonry techniques, presenting collections of artifacts and tools used throughout generations.
The Kyushu Shinkansen, Hitoyoshi Orange Railway, and Kyushu Expressway provide multiple transportation options for accessing the city center and surrounding areas.
The Kirari art installation at Shin-Yatsushiro Station uses specialized thin concrete to create an interior that appears to float with natural light.
