Exploring Kyushu, a never ending story, part 40




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.

Exploring Kyushu, a never ending story, part 39


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......

Exploring Kyushu, a never ending story, part 38




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.

Exploring Kyushu, a never ending story, part 37


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

Salute.
