I thought Tokyo was beautiful until I came to Kyushu~
Traveling to Japan
Most people tend to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Hokkaido
But this time I chose Kyushu, Japan
Kumamoto & Kagoshima
This place is the setting for many animes
Rustic countryside, I predict it will be popular this year

6-Day Journey to Kyushu, Japan | More Beautiful Than Anime
If you're looking for a different kind of trip to Japan🌸, I highly recommend Kyushu for the ladies! Compared to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto, this place is more like a hidden paradise! Feel the heartbeat of the earth up close🌋, travel through forests on trains🚞, experience the hot spring culture, and time seems to slow down here~
〰️〰️〰️
1️⃣🌟Must-visit spots in Kyushu
✅Mount Aso: The largest volcano group in Kyushu, one of the few active volcanoes you can observe up close
✅Kumamoto Castle: One of Japan's three famous castles along with Osaka Castle and Nagoya Castle, feel the breath of historical changes
✅Kusasenri: A vast grassland perfect for photography, with herds of cattle and horses roaming on the lush greenery
✅Kokonoe Yume Suspension Bridge: View the mountain scenery and valleys from high above, as beautiful as a painting
✅Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine: Fukuoka's most representative shrine, dedicated to the god of learning
✅Yufuin no Mori Tourist Train: Escape the city and enjoy the natural scenery, with a retro train running through the forest
✅Sakura no Baba Josaien: Watch local ethnic performances, visit history museums, and taste Kumamoto's special cuisine here
✅Beppu Hells: A must-visit hot spring destination, where you can see different types of hot springs
〰️〰️〰️

Ferry from Shimbara to Kumamoto
If you are driving around Kyushu in Japan, and considering to go between Nagasaki and Kumamoto, the car ferry is one of the options.
There are 6-7 ferries daily traveling between the two ports. We took the 9:40 and it is best to arrive 30 minutes before departure. Once you arrive at the terminal gate, the guard will direct you to park your car in line. you will then need to get your ticket from the main building. The Kyushu ferry ticket counter is on the left side. even if you don’t speak Japanese, you can just say Kumamoto, indicate how many persons in total ( as the basic car ticket is ¥2730 including the driver). Additional passenger will cost ¥890. Inside the terminal building, there is also a gift shop and coffee shop.
Boarding starts about 10 min prior to departure. traveling time is about 60 minutes. After parking your car on the ferry, you can then go up to the second level where there are both indoor and outdoor seatings. There are plenty of seats .
I find this to be a convenient way to travel if this is the route in your itinerary. However much of the road between Nagasaki and Shimbara is local road with lots of traffic lights and speed limit is 50 per km. it could also get quite congested in the afternoon, so best to plan your route and time. #urbanexplorer #drivinginjapan #Nagasaki #Kumamoto
## Non-amusement parks are none
We all know that Disney knows Universal Studios, but these famous parks of the Goose have been crowded up to an average of one hour per project. Its not a surprise...
Sana thinks its not easy to take a child out for a trip. You shouldnt waste time queuing for 2 hours to play for 2 minutes, so try to find some unpopular and fun places to enjoy your parent-child time as much as possible
/ Hh/ It seems that Europe is actually in Kyushu, Japan, not far from us. Last Christmas, our family went to this park to have fun! The key is that there are fewer people in the festival! The night scene is so beautiful!
Sana will find out that I will go to play, its because the hot spots have been there, and there are too many people, so Im exploring some places where only local people know, see photos of Sana. Do you think we are in Europe? In fact, this is a Dutch-style paradise in the Kyushu, Nagasaki, Japan, which is not known to many people in the world - Howdensburg, people really do not have much, the place is really big! The environment is beautiful! There are many people in the holidays, and it is super suitable for parents who bring children and don't want to be too noisy and too tired! When we arrived on Christmas Day, it was already a multi-person, and it still felt that there were not many people and it was comfortable.
Like most paradise, there are many facilities for kids to play, and they are very innovative! Performances, parades, and the most attractive night scenes~

Visited places
1. Chocolate Villa
Address - 23 1-16 Prasert-Manukitch Rd, Ram Inthra, Khan Na Yao, Bangkok 10230, Thailand
Highlights - Happened to be there with Halloween there.. Cool deco but young kids didn't really enjoy due to the theme.
Rating - 4
2. Yoyo Land
Address - ชั้น 4 อาคาร ซีคอนสแควร์ Srinagarindra Rd, Nong Bon, Prawet, Bangkok 10250, Thailand
Highlights - Amusement park with both rides and indoor playground! My LO is about 100cm but there are many rides that he can rode, including roller coaster.
Rating - 4.5
3. Safari World
Address - 99 Panya Indra Rd, Sam Wa Tawan Tok, Khlong Sam Wa, Bangkok 10510, Thailand
Highlights - Dolphins 🐬 show, 🦒🦒 feedings. They have limited showtime hence need to choose what u wanna watch.
Rating - 4.5
4. Sealife Bangkok
Address - Siam Paragon B1
Highlights - Glass bottom boat ride
Rating - 4 as kids love it. But it is relatively small and you need to get their package tickets including 4D cinema, madame tussauds, popcorn, glass bottom boat ride. If you want to just go Sealife, you may want to buy tickets from Trip.com
