2 Best Restaurants in Kumamoto, Kyushu

This romantic restaurant on the 11th floor of the Kumamoto Hotel Castle has stunning sunset views of Kumamoto Castle. During the day the restaurant is used for wedding receptions, but at night (when there are not events) it opens to the public for dinner.

The extensive menu here includes regional favorites in addition to sushi and tofu dishes. You can relax in a booth or sit at the counter and admire the skilled chefs. Kaiseki meals can be reserved for lunch or dinner, and most of these will include the local delicacy of horse meat, so keep that in mind.
