On July 28, Kumamoto Prefecture experienced a powerful earthquake that caused significant damage. Among the affected structures was Mugi Usagi, an izakaya restaurant located in the Chuo Ward of Kumamoto City's Anseimachi neighborhood. After the tremor, the restaurant's interior began to flood with water that emanated a strong sulfur smell.
The source of the water was not a malfunctioning pipe or water heater, but rather emerged from the floor of the storeroom. The hot, sulfurous water filled the room, releasing steam into the air. Restaurant owner confirmed the water to be hot spring water based on its properties. While Mugi Usagi continues to prioritize repairs to restore normal operations, the newfound hot spring water may spark interest in transforming the space into a bathhouse.
