This past spring, I traveled to #Kyushu island for the first time - it’s been on my #Japan travel bucket-list for the longest time! This was a 5-day road trip where I toured small towns in different prefectures: #Fukuoka, Oita and #Kumamoto. I spent my nights in Yufuin, Aso and Hakata where you’ll come across some ryokan recommendations! With spring being the season for sakura, I’ll also be sharing some photogenic cherry blossom viewing (hanami) spots in these areas! Kyushu island is a beautiful blend of culture, food, and nature. I hope this vlog gives you a glimpse into just how stunning this island is, and why it’s worth a visit when you're in Japan!
