Reigan-do Cave is where  the great swordsman Miyamoto Musashi spent about a year writing his famous “Book of Five Rings.”
Being in the cave and touching the rock that Musashi might have sat upon, you can imagine how he looked back on his life while putting his swordsmanship into a book.

After entering the gate, on the way to the cave, you are welcomed by five-hundred Buddha figures sculpted from stone.  They were commissioned by a devout merchant in the Edo period.  It took 24 years to complete.  It is said that you can find one that looks like you or a family member among them!   Hope you can find one of yourself!

Taxi Service to Visit Musashi-related Sites!

宮本武蔵ゆかりの地を巡るタクシー・サービス実施中！
People often say that it is difficult to visit places related to MIYAMOTO Musashi (Reigan-do Cave, Shimada Museum of Arts, and Musashi-zuka Park).

Well, now there is a quite reasonable taxi service to visit 3 places: ¥9,000/taxi ride for about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

If you are a party of four, it is only ¥2,250 per person.

Does it still sound expensive? When you know how far these places are from each other, and that the fare includes admission fees, this is actually a GREAT deal!

The taxi picks you up at Kumamoto Station or Josai-en, and drops you off at either of these two places.
For reservations: call 096-322-5060 (Josai-en 9 AM – 5:30 PM), or 096-327-9500 (Information at Kumamoto Station 8:30 AM – 7 PM)
*This service is called “Kotchan Taxi （こっちゃんタクシー）”.
宮本武蔵が五輪の書を書いた霊巌洞と五百羅漢、武蔵ゆかりの美術品などを展示した島田美術館、そして武蔵塚の３箇所は、武蔵ファンならずとも、熊本では一度は訪れたい場所ですが、いかんせんアクセスが限られるのが難点でした。

今回、それを解消してくれるタクシー・サービスが登場！
熊本駅もしくは城彩苑を出発し、霊巌洞・五百羅漢（40分）→武蔵塚（10分）→島田美術館（30分）→熊本駅もしくは城彩苑
車が無く、バスなどを使って自分で回る場合と比べれば、圧倒的に効率的に約２時間半で３箇所を巡ることができます。
タクシー１台 ¥9,000 ですが、４名だと一人当たり¥2,250。

しかもこれは入館料込みの値段！（通常大人：霊巌洞¥200、島田美術館¥700）
「あっちゃん・こっちゃんタクシー」と呼ばれるキャンペーンの一環で、「あっちゃんコース」は　田原坂・西南戦争跡ゆかりの地を巡るものとなります。
熊本を訪れる武蔵ファンには、是非利用していただきたいサービスです！
