Japan: Kyushu (Yufuin, Takachiho, Yakushima)
Hello!
I recently had an awesome winter vacation in Kyushu.
As I live in Japan I've been to millions of places in Japan already, so lately I try to discover the less known tourist spots.
I went to many places in 11 days. Among them were: Nakatsu and Yufuin (in Oita Prefecture), Takachiho, Nobeoka and Miyazaki (in Miyazaki Prefecture), Yakushima (in Kagoshima Prefecture), Gunkanjima, Omura, Hirado and Shimabara (in Nagasaki Prefecture).
Previously I’ve already been to many other places in Kyushu, so this time I wanted to visit places I’ve not been to yet.
Shopping and relaxing in Yufuin. It was super cold. Luckily Yufuin in an onsen town, so you can soak in a hot spa to warm up any time!
One of my personal highlights was definitely Takachiho!
I went there on December 31st, so there were a lot of people!
I also took a boat tour for 1500yen. At first I thought it’s a waste of money and boring alone, but it was totally worth it and a lot of fun!
Yakushima. Don’t be fooled by this photo, the weather was absolutely horrible!
First of all, the weather changed every few minutes and my first driving experience was in the middle of a typhoon with super high waves, extremely strong rain and whatnot!
There was also lots of snow and it was super cold. Crazy, but beautiful island!
Most of the time the weather looked like this!!
At least I got to see so many rainbows thanks to the super crazy weather :)
There are many smaller and bigger waterfalls on Yakushima.
Of course, I also went to Yakusugi Land and Shiratani, but only the short walking courses were easily accessible, because the other routes just had far too much snow!
I also went to the “Princess Mononoke” forest (the forest that inspired Hayao Miyazaki).

Thank you very much for reading. ^___^
