Travel Guide: 8 Days in Kyushu, Japan (Part 1: From Fukuoka to Sasebo)
You probably have not heard of Kyushu. And that's excatly why you should go. It's an experience of Japan like you would never have when you just go to the big, touristy destinations like Tokyo and Osaka. And more importantly, IT'S CHEAPER!
Here's how we went around North West Kyushu in 7 days, and how we experienced both the big city and the countryside of Japan. And we are sharing with you what we call a 'visual itineraray.' But also, here is the actual itinerary of Day 1 2 and 3 of the trip! You may use it as reference for your visit.
If you have questions about the trip, just leave a comment or DM me on my instagram @Emmanmega.

Huis Ten Bosch Nagasaki 4K - ハウステンボス - Japan As It Truly Is
Huis Ten Bosch is a Dutch theme park in Sasebo, Nagasaki. You will feel like you are walking through a town in the Netherlands.
The detail put into the buildings is astonishing. Even some Dutch who have visited the park really feel like they are in their own country again. At least until they go inside one of the buildings, and find only the outside looks like home. Some visitors love Huis Ten Bosch while some others find it a big Potemkin village. You will also find a lot more signs in English instead of Dutch. But given how few people learn Dutch outside of Holland, it's not too much of a surprise.
But what makes Huis Ten Bosch so beautiful is during the flower seasons - like the tulips in March, or the hydrangea in June. Here you can see the hydrangea exploding in bloom all around you. And unless you are visiting Sasebo and can try something better elsewhere, you can also eat the famous Sasebo Burger, which is essentially a BLT cheeseburger with some egg salad topping.
You can also experience other amusement park rides like the Ferris wheel, zip lines, bungee jumping, water park, and other carnival type things. Night time also makes a big light show.
Japan and the Netherlands have had a trading relationship going back over 400 years, hence the creation of Huis Ten Bosch. The park was established in 1992 but went bankrupt in 2003 with a 2.2 billion yen debt. It was reorganized and is now owned by H.I.S. which is a major travel agency in Japan.
Although it is made to look like a Dutch town, you'll get a curious mix of music in various places, like Frank Sinatra's New York, New York, Domenico Modugno's Volare, and Hotel California by The Eagles. It's sorely doubtful you could have only Dutch music playing all around you (know any tunes?). But it does make you wonder who picks these things.
The music you hear was piped through around the hydrangea garden as well as the Huis Ten Bosch palace. It was hell to identify the compositions, but here it is in full hi fidelity.
This is the first 4K video of Huis Ten Bosch including the palace so enjoy it - with no yapping, no hammy theatrics and no over-gesticulating talking heads. This is Japan As It Truly Is!

Fukuoka Travel Tips: 6 Things to Know Before You Go to Fukuoka
Things YOU need to know before you travel to Fukuoka Japan. Fukuoka is nearly equidistant to Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul, it sits on the northern tip of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands. Fukuoka has a laid-back atmosphere, the friendly people, the relaxed pace of a city large enough, with about 1.4 million people, to have its own attractions but not so large as to be overwhelming. Compared with navigating Tokyo’s busy subway system or hurrying to visit one last shrine in Kyoto before closing time, taking in the sights in Fukuoka actually feels like a vacation
Today's Fukuoka is the product of the fusion of two cities in the year 1889, when the port city of Hakata and the former castle town of Fukuoka were united into one city called Fukuoka. Hakata remains the name of one of Fukuoka's central districts and of the main railway station.
5 - Getting to Fukuoka
Plane - Airport is really close to the city -- 5 minutes on the Subway from the domestic terminal. But 15 minutes by Bus from the International Terminal.
Shinkansen -- 2.5 hours from Osaka
Drive
3- Transportation in Fukuoka
Fukuoka sells unlimited day passes for tourists, making sightseeing easier and affordable. The subway is easy to use, with two main station transfer hubs (for JR trains) and a route to the Fukuoka International Airport. You can buy a single fare (600 yen) or get an unlimited day pass. The station master booth near the turnstile can answer any questions you have.
Fukuoka Tourist Day Passes grants access to each/all the public transportation: 800 yen (adults) affords a pass on Nishitetsu Bus, Showa Bus, JR Train and the Subway, while 1,300 yen gets you an extra usage of the Nishitetsu Train (* takes you out to the Dazaifu Temple Area). I chose the 800 yen pass and was very pleased. Show your passes at events and attractions and you may get a special discount.
4 - Food:
For ramen, most people say Fukuoka is the best,” he said. Two of Japan’s most famous ramen chains, Ichiran and Ippudo, hail from the city. Ramen Stadium on the 5th floor of Canal City. But the one can’t-miss dining experience in Fukuoka is yatai. Yatai are tiny street food carts that are constructed (and deconstructed) nightly. Plastic curtains typically enclose a bare-bones kitchen and minuscule counter around which no more than a dozen or so diners can cram. Many yatai serve basic fare like grilled things-on-sticks or ramen; some supplement counter seating with folding tables and chairs.
Today, there are about 150 operating yatai in Fukuoka, with most clustered along main roads, parks and the riverfront. Because of a law that bans the opening of new yatai, those numbers are dwindling
5 - Shopping:
Canal City is a major shopping complex at 2.5 million square feet, including about 250 shops, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, game center, theater, etc. It even has a canal flowing inside (which explains its name), and a large fountain that has a water show every 30 minutes.
Because the mall is so large, it may take you a whole day to discover everything. If you come to Canal City before May 18th, you can also enjoy the 3D projection mapping show with the popular anime “One Piece” theme, which is quite epic you won’t want to miss it.
By the train station lots of shopping too!!
6- Shrines:
Dazaifu Tenmangu and Kushida Shrine.
Dazaifu Tenmangu is located in Dazaifu city, and it is one of the main shrines in Japan dedicated to Tenjin- the “God” of literature and scholarship. The shrine is very large and includes several structures, so it would take you around 1 hour to visit all the places.
On the contrary, Kushida shrine is located right in the center of Hakata, and since it is a village shrine, it is much smaller than Dazaifu, and this spot will only take you 20 minutes to visit. As the oldest shrine in Fukuoka city, it attracts lots of foreign tourists so you can get the information sheet and even the omikuji (paper fortunes) in English.

Japan Travel Guide and vlog from our road trip in Kyushu, Japan (southwest Japan) in December 2018.

The restaurant I mentioned in Nagasaki is Cafe Lekker.
The restaurant in Kumamoto is called Shimoda.
In Yufuin we stayed at Yufunogo Saigakukan Ryokan.
