“Sento Kumamon” is being held for a limited time until December 16, 2019 !
“Sento Kumamon”, an event where Kumamon takes over public baths, is being held for a limited time until December 16, 2019, in conjunction with several international sports competitions!
The Rugby World Cup and the Women’s Handball World Championship will be held in Kumamoto from this fall. A unique Kumamoto’s hospitality plan will be offered to foreign visitors who visit Kumamoto to commemorate these important events and enjoy Japanese public bathhouses even more.
The event is being held at “Yoyasuyu”, a Kumamoto public bathhouse in Kumamoto.
Although it was severely damaged by the Kumamoto earthquake, leaving only the bathhouse picture unscathed, this public house is now working hard to recover.
This time, Kumamon takes over this place!
For visitors to enjoy this event even more, we also offer limited goods that can only be purchased at “Sento Kumamon” and have been widely anticipated by many people.
Please come to “Sento Kumamon” in this opportunity.
