Pls do more videos on tohoku region, japan inland sea & shikoku
Just visited, and noticed small towns in Kyushu are dying with the youngs fleeing to big the cities 😢
Thank you so much for such a mesmerizing video. I was totally absorbed into it. It's your team's greatness that you explore and showcase the tourism perspective of each direction of Japan…
🎍🎍🎍
Kagoshima was the first city I have visit in Japan. Best to do is taking the ferry to Yakushima.
I fondly remember Kyushu. Very chilled people, fantastic scenery and some of the best food I have ever tasted!
👍👍
I love your videos. One thing that makes me nervous about visiting Japan is all of the food sections in your videos are full of meat / fish. Is there easy to find vegetarian food available at Japanese restaurants?
Great video, thank you ! I spent 3 weeks on Kyushu in 2023 and absolutely loved it. In Kagoshima, I enjoyed the beautiful garden and the residence and the tourist bus. On Sakorajima, the longest open-air foot bath (free) is wonderful. There are also some public bath houses in Kagoshima.
If you have time, spending at least 2 nights on Yakushima (you can get there by ferry or by flight) is much recommended. Its a beautiful island, with old huge trees, farns, waterfalls etc. You are most flexible there with a rental car, but we also managed to visit by bus.
This is their only second Kyushu video, and they have never been to Shikoku, at least for video, which makes me wonder why.
Maybe because they do not get any sponsor to promote those regions??
Both Kyushu and Shikoku are becoming popular among foreign tourists, but mainly Asian ones, not English speaking ones.
Great video 🤜🏻
I yet just was focused more on the northern parts of Japan… Hokkaido, Aomori, Sendai, Morioka and anything between xD
Beautiful! Well done, and now perhaps some of the
Tourist Horde will find their way down South,
instead of consistently overcrowding Kyoto! 🗾🌋⛩♨🌉
Don’t forget Nagasaki and Miyazaki 🙂
Nooo I need this video last month! We just got back from Kyushu 😖😖 Oh well, time to pack our bags and go again! 👍
Always quality work here
This is one of the best travel videos I have ever seen. The content is interesting and the commentary is informative. Lovely photography too.❤
👍
now do one on nagasaki.
I fondly remember my 3 years in Hakata Army base and visiting Fukuoka many times and the Ginza in the late 1960s and early 1970s…along with many other cities like Beppu and Nagasaki. Everywhere we went the people were very friendly❤🌞🥰
seven x seven is a wonderful place with amazing staff ❤ and the best rental bikes
My favorite part of Japan … And you didn't even cover Nagasaki, Miyazaki, the islands south of Kagoshima, Oita hot springs etc. There is so much in Kyushu and the weather is warmer than the rest of Japan
Thank you so much for this video as I plan to visit Kyushu in March/April this year.
I will check out your website for Nagasaki and Beppu as well.
This video it’s example of perfect YouTube video
What an awesome video. Very informative and absorbing as usual. I just had a question related to mode of travel. Did Mr. Evans travel between cities on the Shinkansen or did he drive by car? If he used a Shinkansen, then which one and whether a Kyushu pass would be advisable.
Loved the おいしいにおいに、ご注意ください。beside the yatai 😝❤
love how well the music goes
Lovely:) Hello from Bucharest, Romania – a huge underrated city in Europe:)
this channel just keeps posting my plans! my mind is being read
What a great video! Since I hope to visit Kyushu later this year the timing of the release is perfect. Just one question: which month was this video shot, please?
I remember going to the garden in Kumamoto. I had no interest in gardens, but thought I might as well go to make to most of the day trip. I was just blown away by how stunning it was, and love Japanese gardens now.
Thanks as always! Love your videos! Please also do a Nagasaki Video. I am planning a Kyushu trip and definitely want to included Nagasaki as well 🙂
I need to go to these areas next!
What is the English like in these areas?
Thanks for sharing this video. Kyushu is beautiful 😊
Such a great intro to Kyushu. My family and I were just in Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Beppu, and Oita. Didn’t make it to Kita-Kyushu or Kagoshima this time. Really appreciated learning about the pedestrian bridge and temple! Gotta check those out on our next Kyushu visit.
I miss Japan! Will use this itinerary the next time I'm in Jp!
Thanks for your video!
Enjoyed Fukuoka & Kumamoto in 2024.
Off to Nagoya very soon ✌️
I have only been to Fukuoka. It's much more affordable and walkable than Tokyo, but no less interesting. Returning in Nov 2025!
Awesome ‼️
