Why go

Kumamon’s own shop and stage, in the Tetoria Kumamoto building at 8-2 Tetori-honmachi, 10:00–19:00. On Saturday 26 December 2026 he appears 11:30–12:00 and 16:30–17:00; the morning slot is the one a ship day allows. The February 2027 schedule is not yet published, and whether entry is free is not confirmed by the official page.

Before you count on it
  • 5 hr door to door needs a 7-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
