Living in Minami-Kumamoto

A quiet residential area south of the city with a station. It is one or two stops away from the entertainment district, so it is quiet while the commute is short, a good balance. There are few large commercial facilities, so you depend on neighborhood supermarkets for grocery shopping, but rents are between the central district and the outskirts, so it is a reasonable place to start out.
