I got up early in the morning, and went to Tori-cho suji to take pictures of the streetcars.
During winter season, it's difficult to take pictures in the morning, due to late sunrise.

From Fujisakigu-mae, we boarded bus for Suido-cho
And also, the reason why we went to Suido-cho is to visit Kumamon Square, which is the souvenir shop selling various goods related with Kumamon. And, it's located inside Tsuruya Department Store. On the upper floor of the department store, there were Miffy and Doraemon Fair. The floor seems to be dedicated to children. There is also playground for them.
My wife and daughter went back to the hotel by streetcar, while I went there via Bic Camera in front of Kumamoto Station to buy battery of my camera.
