Exploring Kyushu, a never ending story, part 45

 

Colorful memories of a wonderful autumn trip to central Kyushu. Campervan, way to go.

Yappari, discover Kyushu.

Somewhere in Kyushu. For sure, your capervan trip will take you to one of the many-many convini.

Superb for a restroomstop, fresh coffee, juice, bento, ....... (but remember, it is not a place for overnight camping). Picture by one of our customers.

Catching the last of the Autumn Palette.

Yappari, road trip into the heart of Kyusu.

Colorful, isn't it?

Flashback to Greener Days. Peace of Mind: They will come again

Winter temperatures in Kyushu can be mild, especially @ sea level. The mountain in the distance is in Nagasaki... and yes, there will be snow on top!

Ehhh, what is happening in Yanagawa....

Yappari, flash back to our campervan trip to Shikoku, in December a few years ago. Spectacular views and hardly anybody round.

There is always a surpirse around the corner when you visit Japan. Campervan rental, way to go.

Autumn memories.... 

Kagoshima. One of our campers at rest...

Enjoying a distance view of Sakurajima, a very active volcano.

Found this gem.

Hike the Kuju Mountains.

You'll luff it.

Campervan road trip, way to go.

What a Good Morning. To you too.

Our campervan AKA as seen at the parking area at the top of Mt Aso. Mt Aso is an active volcano and a major sightseeing attraction in Kyushu. Please note, sometimes this P is closed off due to too much volcanic action.

Please check the internet.

These autumn colors were waiting for us. Go rural and enjoy a stroll through the village.

Yappari, you'll enjoy a slightly more comfy campervan

on those rare days it rains.

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......
