Campervan adventure in Japan, part 56

 


Let the Kyushu Adventure begin! Our customers are "fresh from the airplane " at Fukuoka International Airport....and off they go.


Kumamoto Castle and the " sea of clouds ". This amazing light-up was during a special event in October.


And then, all of a sudden there is Mt Kuju area in the distance. (Kuju itself is covered in a sea of clouds).


Oh-oh, those autumn sunsets...


Found this " happy " crowd at one of the many-many temples in Shikoku.
Next to Kysuhu, it's our favorite campervan destination, especially in autumn & winter.


Yapparri, inside a ferry! Some great destinations are only accessible with the use of a ferry connection. Bonus: Taking the ferry is fun too.


Seeing Mt Fuji making me happy while taking care of a delivery for a 1-way rental: Tokyo->Fukuoka.


Yappari, it's that time of the year.
Nice weather for going outdoors.


Who's a red boy.... ?
We noticed this beauty when we woke up at our overnight P somewhere in Nagasaki Pref.

Campervan adventure in Japan, part 55

 


Flashback of our campervan trip this summer.


Dai-saito Goma-ku Firewalking Ceremony. (please Google).


Yappari, Fukuoka's famous ramen shop in halloween mood. Good food, humor and warm vibes are abundant in Kyushu.


Visiting Mt Aso on that day the weather and the volcano were treating us to an unforgettable experience.


Kumamoto Castle showing off its best during a light & sound show this season. The castle was badly damaged a few years ago but stone by stone it has been repaired. Awesome job.


Yappari Kaze to Ne in Hita City. Superb! Reservation recommended.


Well, it's pretty out there.

Campervan adventure in Japan, part 54

 


First signs and colors of autumn are showing up.
Best time to explore Kyushu.


Discoverings you make when you take the less traveld road.
Rental campervan, way to go. 



Settling in for the night.
Tomorrow an other exciting day of exploring Kyushu. 



Who agrees exploring Kyushu is stricking gold?


It's gonna happen, sooner or later. 
And no, this isn't Kyoto. Just somewhere in tranquil Kyushu.



At rest RV parking Aburayama in Fukuoka. 



Takachiho Gorge.
It's on most customer's bucket-list. 
Taking your campervan down there is a bit of a trick though. 
Ask for details.


Campervan REGISTRO chilling at one of the many free P in Kyushu.
Please remember, these parkings are not camp-grounds, 
so no outdoor bbq etc. 
Picture by our customer.



Happily " getting lost " while hiking in central Kyushu.


Flasback to that day we joined an e-bike cycling tour UP and down  Mt Aso.

Awesome. 



On the eve of the best season to discover Kyushu.
