Campervan adventure in Japan, part 42

  

Some pixs and thoughts. 

 Thank you Mr L

Waking up at one of those magic Michi-no-eki.

All For Free. But remember, it's not a camping ground,

there are no plug-in electricity points,

and outside BBQ etc is a strict no-no.

Yappari, that light.

At the parking area of Mt Aso. Should be on your Kyushu itinerary.

Fun thing to do in Aso-Kuju National Park.

THE place to be on a wintery day.

What you might discover at your Kyushu camper trip.

Scenery you can expect when you drive around

in rural Kyushu this time of the year.

NEW EVOLUTION

This too could be your view. Free parking and 24 hour washroom on hand. (Mt Unzen in the distance).

The art of manhole covers. Fun to discover during your Kyushu campervan road trip.

Rural autumn in Kyushu. Even these vending machines fit in.

Yappari, those early morning moments.

Hydrangeas.

Brightening up even the ugliest concrete.

When it seems time has stopped. That's the beauty of a road trip, taking you away from the hustle 'n bustle of the crowded city.

Yappari, dream away...

Wind Chimes. Smoothing sound to keep us cool these hot summer days. Make great souvenir.

Some quality time at Takamori, east side of Mt Aso.

Small secret: This year, Koyo and Momiji will happen again.

 

We stil have to face the hottest period of the year.. but are already getting reservations for the winter months. Don't miss out.

Hydrangeas. Here, there and everywhere. Picture courtesy of our customer.

Fukuoka Skyline as we saw it when we first sailed into Hakata Bay in 1989!!

Let your campertrip take you here.

Ready for a Kyushu campervan advenure.

That was a misty day at the top of the mountain. Btw, this nature reserve is famous for Japan's smallest dragonfly, 'bout the same size as a 5 yen coin. So cute.

They All Agree. Exploring Kyushu by campervan is The Way to Go.

Floating Torii Gate of Oouo Shrine, Tara village.

A Sunny Day in the Rainy Season.

Escape the crowds. This view point is accessible after an easy hike near Mt Kuju. Showing Mt Aso in the distance. And afterwards...enjoy one of the many hot-springs in this area.

See where you end up

when your campervan trip takes you off the beaten path......

Daily Street Life in Meinohama. Hold on, what do we see there? Our Tiny Mighty REGISTRO. Off she goes to explore Kyushu.

Oink Oink. Some of the wildlife you might encounter in Kyushu. Cute to see, but a nuisance for farmers.

Simple Lunch. No more need to be said.

Tsuyu, also know as Rainy Season. Okay-okay, there might be a day with too much downpour. But in general, it's a favorite time to explore Kyushu by campervan. Not cold, Not yet hot. Everything is green. Long days. And very few other tourists around.

Yappari, our rental Toyota Coaster.

Alishan and Registro 

Happy Crowd.

Billie, where would we go without you?

Early Mornings are Best 

Kuju National Park,  a treasure for hiking.

More Pink in June.

Ajisai aka Hydrangeas.

Oronoshima

 It's always a pleasure to visit you and 

to have Fun with the Kids.

Oro ES and JH: All of them 11 students.

Nippon, the land of Islands & Bridges.

Wisteria. Just discovered this beauty in a small village, somewhere way-way off the beaten path. Guess why we go out with our campervan here in Kyushu.

Ramen with Veggies. Perfect lunch when On the Go.

Colorful And that too, is Japanese Culture. We met these extremely happy, joyful and well mannered bikers at one of the parking areas at Kuju National Park.

Flying Carp. Kyushu scenery you'll see in May.

Yappari, come and catch this sunset.

Happy April Mood, despite the rainy conditions. Yummy chocolate souvenir from our Swiss customers came along for the trip.

Yappari Conveni. One way or the other, you'll find out How Conveni the convenies are in Japan. But remember, their parking area isn't a campground.

Yappari, come to the forest and find us....

HANBAIKI Also known as vending machines. They will play a convenient role during your campervan trip!

One day we were out and about in Itoshima with visitors from New York.

 Bryna and Harry,

thanks you for your nice company.

Salute.
