Departing from Fukuoka in the early morning, take the Shinkansen to Kumamoto. The first stop is Kumamoto Castle. The ancient keep stands majestically, with moss-covered stone walls whispering tales of the Sengoku era. From the top, the cityscape and greenery stretch out, blending history and modernity into poetry. On the second day, head to Mount Aso. The winding mountain roads are shrouded in mist, and the crater emits white smoke, revealing the earth's pulse. In the afternoon, arrive at Kusasenri, where endless grasslands stretch to the horizon, with cattle and sheep leisurely strolling, reminiscent of northern landscapes. As dusk falls, relax in a hot spring, counting stars amidst the sulfur scent. The two-day trip feels like a dream, with Kumamoto's nature and history becoming unforgettable memories.

A trip from Fukuoka to Asokusa Senri is an incredibly therapeutic journey through Kyushu. The vast volcanic grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see, with cattle and horses grazing leisurely among the green grass. In the distance, volcanic mountains and drifting clouds create a serene and refreshing atmosphere. A leisurely stroll or horseback ride is incredibly relaxing, a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Visiting Fukuoka's various hydrangea spots in early summer offers stunning views of vibrant blue-purple and pink-white clusters of flowers. After the rain, the petals become glistening and translucent, and the quiet trails are perfect for taking photos, creating a truly authentic early summer Japanese atmosphere. After returning to the city, savor Fukuoka's classic yakitori. The chicken skin, gizzards, and wings are grilled to perfection, the fat fragrant but not greasy, the sauce a savory-sweet blend that pairs wonderfully with sake. Combining natural beauty with authentic cuisine, and a relaxed pace, this is a comfortable and unforgettable Kyushu getaway. A self-driving tour is highly recommended! 🥰🥰👍🏼
