Living in Kyomachi

An old samurai-family residential area on a hill northwest of Kumamoto Castle. There is almost no noise and many old houses. However, there are slopes, so getting around by bicycle is hard, and there are stretches where you have to walk to the nearest station.

An old samurai-family residential area on a hill northwest of Kumamoto Castle, with almost no noise. There are many old houses, so rents are lower than in the city for the same floor area. However, there are slopes, so getting around by bicycle is hard, and there are stretches where you have to walk to the nearest station. If you put a quiet environment first and do not mind walking, it is a good fit.
