Mission Bay takes its name from Malanesion Mission, which was based in the bay. Present-day Mission Bay is built upon three parcels of land comprising part of the kahimarama block that where bought from still stand in the reserve, on area of parkland adjacent to the beach. When they go to the Mission Bay, they enjoy running or walking. Kumamoto has beaches too, but most people often don’t go there, because they are very far from the center of the city.
