Kumamoto Travel｜The Aerial Poet: Street Corners, Mountain Views, and Fairy Tales

📸 Photographer 🇰🇷 (formerly featured on SBS's "Life Expert" and "Life Photography Master"), advocates Under his lens, a trip to Kumamoto is: · Weathered old houses and silent mountains in the distance · On deserted streets, convenience stores softly lit 24 hours a day · Occasionally, a small bus slowly breaking the quiet No clamor, only everyday life soaked in time Every frame seems to drape ordinary street corners in a fairy tale filter “What I seek is the quiet glow within life.” — This is exactly what he brings us, Kumamoto. 📌 This tranquility is worth keeping.

Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine

Maastricht, Bonji, Komori-cho, and Omozos This cross-territorial self-tourning line is perfect for those of you who like slow life exploration and anime and manga culture! The highlight of the itinerary is the must-visit Takamori-cho - Uisemi Kumanoza Shrine, not only because the shrine itself is aura ✨, but also because it is close to Kumamon, One Piece and other elements, I believe anime and manga fans will think of "stepping on the spot"! [Attraction Inventory Recommendation] First of all, let's talk about the must-visit photo spot in Takamori-cho this time: Kamishimi Kumanoza Shrine 📍Address: 2619 Kamishikimi, Takamori, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-1601 Japan ⏰ Open all day year round - Don’t leave in a hurry even if you check in! It takes about more time to walk from Takamori Station to the shrine, along the way with moss stone lanterns and dense woods, it really feels like an anime scene! I remember I was thinking of playing the character in One Piece to explore the route, walking up is quite a sense of exploration ~ (if you like Kumamon, remember to buy cute Kumamon souvenirs around the station before setting off) Maastricht and Bongi are both popular slow-life destinations in Europe in recent years. Maastricht's cityscape is super artistic, perfect for those who like cafe hunting and alley walks; When you visit Omozos, if you can allow more time, you can try local cuisine or authentic desserts, many small shops are very characteristic. When I return to Takamori-cho, I must eat a bowl of salted flying fish ramen (some ramen in Sasebo area is super fresh, fishy but not salty). Every time I eat it, I think to come back next time! 【Authentic Transportation & Food Tips】 🔹Takamori Station to Kamishimi Kumanoza Shrine can be walked or taken by bus, walk for about 20-30 minutes, the scenery along the way is quite healing (but recommended to wear good shoes!) 🔹Sasebo Salted Flying Fish Ramen: There are many ramen shops near Takamori Station, remember to check the business hours, many places are open for dinner, do not want to miss can start foraging in the afternoon. [Traveler's Tips] - If the itinerary has anime and manga check-in goals, it is recommended to leave in the morning to avoid the crowds for easy shooting - Japanese rural bus services are not frequent, it is best to check the timetable, do not miss the last bus - Some small shops around the attraction only accept cash, remember to prepare yen change - Coloring see Kumanoza Shrine surrounded by heavy shade of trees, spring and summer to bring mosquito repellent; in autumn the scenery is super beautiful for photography The overall itinerary not only features a slow tour of the Japanese countryside, shrine inspiration, but also embedded anime and manga Easter eggs and authentic food moments. #上色见Kumanoza Shrine #Kumamon #One Piece #Takamoricho Slow Tour #Salted Flying Fish Ramen

Exploring Kyushu was an absolute blast—think next-level city vibes, nature escapes, and, yes, a must-try special disco massage experience you seriously can't miss! 🌙💆♀️ Here are the top spots to hit up for an epic Kyushu adventure: 1. Fukuoka - Late nights, vibrant streets, and some truly unique wellness stops. Definitely check out the special disco massage parlors (look for options around Nakasu area, Fukuoka), where you get post-party relaxation and actual disco beats—open late, just make sure to book ahead! 2. Beppu - Famous for hot springs and steamy onsen baths. The Hells of Beppu ('Jigoku Meguri'), open daily from 8:00–17:00, are wild volcanic phenomena you won’t see elsewhere. Address: Kannawa, Beppu-shi, Oita Prefecture. 3. Kumamoto - Marvel at Kumamoto Castle (open 9:00–17:00, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto-shi), and swing by Suizenji Garden for a peaceful walk and killer views. Getting Around: Use the Kyushu Rail Pass for unlimited train travel—it saves cash and time. Local city buses are simple with prepaid transit cards (get one at any major train station). Foodies Alert: Try Hakata ramen in Fukuoka (Ichiran, Tenjin area) and fresh seafood at Yanagibashi Rengo Market! For snacks, nab some yuzu kosho or spicy mentaiko. Money & Tips: Most places take credit cards, but grab some cash for small shops or massage parlors. Weather varies—pack layers (rain jacket for Beppu’s misty vibe is clutch!). Whether you’re after nightlife, nature, or quirky self-care, Kyushu totally delivers. #KyushuTrip #JapanTravel #FukuokaNights #OnsenLife #FoodieFinds
