Send Flowers to Kumamoto, Japan

Kumamoto is a castle town in the middle of Kyushu, and the black-walled castle on its hill is the emotional centre of the city. Badly damaged by a series of strong earthquakes, it has been under careful restoration since, and its recovery matters deeply to residents. Flowers sent here as encouragement or congratulations are understood in that spirit of resilience.

The city is proud of its clean groundwater, fed by the slopes of Mount Aso to the east, and of the landscaped Suizenji garden. The covered arcades of Kamitori and Shimotori form the shopping centre, with residential areas spreading across Higashi and Kita wards. A semiconductor boom in the wider area has brought new engineers and families, including many from Taiwan.

Summers are hot and humid with a heavy rainy season, and winters are cooler than you might expect this far south. To send flowers to Kumamoto, order before midnight Japan time and a local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday. Same-day and Sunday delivery are not available in Japan.
