Camper trip snaps autumn 2020

 

♤ Pond on the Rocks ♤
As it was seen at Mifuneyama Koen in Takeo, Saga.

Indeed a cool place to wind down on a hot day.

Looking down from Oka Castle Ruins in Oita. Even the car-park is ahhhsome.
Can you spot Billie Bee?
Happy camper, way to go.

Good Morning.
A slightly different start if our Sunday. Luff it too.
Happy camper here at Mt Aso National Park.

Excuse me, do you have a moment to dream away... ?

File photo of camper customers from Israel.
Their 6 weeks camper trip started in Tokyo and finished in Fukuoka.
Can you guess what an amazing experience they had?

Time to wind down, stroll the alleys, take in the sights..... and dream away.
Oh, and of course go for a long soak in one of the many hotsprings.
As it happens in Kurokawa Onsen in Kumammoto.

Japan has many extremes.
Like: shinkansen & steam train. This one is the Yamaguchi Express.
To be able to see it chuck-chucking along the countryside is so exciting.

Guess why we like to roam the often narrow roads with our camper.
Bonus of course are the autumn colors.

This time of the year it's Ahhh & Ohh and More.
Be prepared for some jaw dropping.

A bit of this and a bit of that.
ゆ is the sign for sento (bath) or hotspring.
P in this case for parking, pizza and pasta (confused?).
The hotspring is a short walk down from the road, at the base of the cliffs.

Early-early morning. Best moment of the day.
Misty conditions makes it more magical at this perfect overnight stop we shared with 1 more camper.
Location: SE of Mt Aso.

Time for a break. Always plenty of rest areas available.

Undeniable, we had awesome autumn weather and spectacular colors all around us.
Now heading into more wintery weather... but that doesn't stop us from exploring Nippon by camper.

What to say?
Probably you say something like: Wish I was there !
Camper rental, way to go and enjoy Kyushu in autumn.
And winter.
And spring.

Magic in the Air. As seen in Sawaraku, Fukuoka.

Care for a snack?
How about a very tasty and amazingly fresh UNI, also known as sea-urchin.
Here for sale at the morning fish market in Yobuko, Saga Prefecture.

Camper trips during the summer of 2020

 Summer of 2020 moments.

Despite Covid spoiling the normal freedom-of-movement 

we were still able to undertake exploring trips with Billie Bee Bus.

Here follows a random order of pictures.

Oops ......
But overall, the hiking trails in Kyushu are awesome.
Even in the rainy season.
Want to go?

From Fysio to Fishio.
And luffing it.
What career change have you made in your lifetime?

Hiking in Japan.
So many trails, so few people.
Even all by yourself: " You Never Walk Alone ".
Yappari Kyushu.

One Sunday we took Billie Bee for a spin in our backyard.
Recharged all our batteries.
Magic.

Greetings.
... this time from Yamaguchi.
Spent a comfortable night at this michi no eki @ Kitaurakaido. Super clean place !

This was our camp for the night at Hiraodai, Kitakyushu. 

Only had to share it with a zillion stars.

Not bad at all :-)

Next day, up and early and ready for a hike.

Our michi-no-eki camp for the night at Tsuwano, Shimane

Next to a super nice hot spring.

 Good for clean and sweet dreams

Yappari Kyushu
..... in Tsuwano.
Where we found a Heart.
Can you see it too?
Explore Japan by camper, stay and way to go.

Village Welcome Committee.
These fish-dragons are roof decorations. You can imagine their duty.

Yappari Kyushu
... in Hiroshima.
On a very hot day we found this cool spot for the night. 

Nori the Cat was even tempted to go for river dip.

Your friendly neighborhood police station, aka Koban.
Guess why we like it here.
You would too.

Yappari Kyushu
... in Shimane..
Parked for the night between a superb hot spring and a cool mountain river in Mito.
After a long soak, in the onsen, and an "on board " spaghetti meal... we slept like roses.

Neat and orderly.
Zen vibes abundant.
That's why we like it here.
Bet, you do too.

Yappari Kyushu
.... greetings from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Up and about early. Best moment of the day.
Take care, it looks like it's gonna be another >> 33C one.

Yappari Kyushu
... in Kitakyushu.
Again an early morning moment. It's nice here at Hiraodai.
So happy to be able to go & stay with our camper Billie Bee Bus where the hiking is good.

Because of the Covid slowdown, yours is 2~3/week deckhand onboard a japanese commercial fishing boat.
Meet Rinzo san, my 81!! year old co-worker.
This is Rinzo Power

Some of our catch.

Ooop, unfortunately not that tuna.

That came from Tsushima Island.

Do you like sushi?

Another Escape The City Heat Let's Go to Kuju 

camper-hike-birdwatching trip.

Hiking together at Mt Kuju...

During the last heavy rains, this area saw many landslides.

That was the only surviving cabin.

Feet having a well earned rest and view after a stiff uphill hike.

Mt Aso and fellow Neko Dake as seen from Mt Kuju area.

Yappari Kyushu
...oh yes August can be hot. Here it shows 37C !!
Too hot to do any outdoor unless it's up mountain high 

or down by the river or sea.
So if neither, best to go for a drive with the aircon on duty.
Drive safely.

Yappari Kyushu.
Akatombo. Lets go and find it.
And muse about our childhood.

And of course i have to mention the 3Seven stand 

at the Kumamoto Camping-car Show.

3 days of rewarding but hard work to promote:

Camper life, Way to Go.

Salute.

Covid-19 has hit us hard with zero inbound visitors..

But we are ready and standing by for when the sky will open again.

Billie Bee Bus, our Toyota Coaster camper, is a safe and comfy way of transport (and more) for up to 8 adults.

Looking forward to meeting you.

See here below some ideas: 

Itoshima by the sea, Fukuoka.

Hiking at Itoshima.

So rural but still so close to downtown Fukuoka City.

Campground near Mt Aso, Kumamoto.
Car-tent combo is fun, but exploring Kyushu by means of a campervan has definite more options.

Saga Prefecture. Waterfront parking.
Sharing the night together.
Bonus: A nice, really nice, hot spring in walking distance.
Can't be any better.
Kyushu is a camper paradise.

Keen to explore what other food than sushi is out there?

So many trails, so few people.
But even all by yourself: " You Never Walk Alone ".

Hiking in central Kyushu.

Keen to do some birdwatching?

Keen to see what else Mother Nature has to offer in Kyushu?

See what Marijke managed to capture on camera:

We'll show you.

Sunset at Itoshima, Fukuoka.

Making travel plans for tomorrow.
