We're a couple from the Netherlands that enjoy documenting our travels from all over the world.
We stayed at a luxury Ryokan in Japan with astonishing food and traditional clothing
Greetings from sunny Japan! Today, we're embarking on a road trip adventure from Fukuoka to the enchanting Nanzoin Temple, followed by a relaxing stay at the RYOKAN MINAWA Minamiaso onsen. We'll be driving a stylish and practical Honda N-Box rental car, perfect for exploring the beautiful countryside of Kyushu.
Our First Stop: Nanzoin Temple
Our first destination is the majestic Nanzoin Temple, a famous Buddhist temple known for its breathtaking views and serene atmosphere. Located in the heart of Sasaguri Town, the temple is home to a giant, reclining Buddha statue that is over 18 meters long! We'll take some time to explore the temple grounds, admire the intricate architecture, and pay our respects to the Buddha.
Continuing Our Journey to Minami Aso
After leaving Nanzoin Temple, we'll head towards Minami Aso, a small town nestled in the Aso caldera, one of Japan's largest volcanic calderas. Along the way, we'll enjoy the scenic drive through the Aso Mountains, taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Our Accommodation: RYOKAN MINAWA Minamiaso onsen
Once we arrive in Minami Aso, we'll check into the RYOKAN MINAWA Minamiaso onsen, a traditional Japanese inn where we can relax and unwind after a day of exploring. The onsen offers a variety of relaxing amenities, including natural hot springs, outdoor baths, and massage treatments. We'll also be able to enjoy a delicious multi-course meal featuring local seasonal dishes inspired by the sakura season.
No trip to Japan would be complete without a traditional Japanese meal, and we're excited to experience a special multi-course dinner inspired by the sakura season. We'll savor a variety of seasonal ingredients, such as cherry blossoms, bamboo shoots, and wild herbs, all prepared in a delicious and authentic way.

0:03 Because Korea and Japan are close in location, Westerners often like to combine the two countries into one category, but people who live in two countries often don't like it. I wonder what the British and French would think if they saw a tourist brochure that united UK and France.
Hi! We're doing a tour to both countries, first week is South-Korea and afterwards, we're taking a ferry from Busan to Fukuoka. So stay tuned, for more is coming up!

Korea made the history (& drama) of the ancient Chinese in Chaoxian 朝鮮 (Today Korea territory) into a historical TV series. Brainwashing foreigners. In history. Korean tradition is a beautiful standard (Hanbok) for pure white clothes and women clothes to show their nipples (Westerners Record history photos). Ancient Korean traditional costumes are pure white (the Korean people have been known as the "White clothes ethnic 白衣民族-history record name" since ancient times), Korean women show their nipples to represent the beauty. All Women use their heads to move everything.This reflects the ancient Korean people and thoughts. Historically, Korean women's clothes show their nipples (about 11 years old. After they get married and have children), until they are old .(Westerners Record history photos).. Korean historical dramas are 95% fake. A large number of Chinese culture and Chinese historical elements are plagiarized directly. ------------------------ Real Korean traditional costumes (Hanbok) In ancient Korea name "朝鮮chaoxian" (one of ancient Chinese city), . "white-clothed ethnic 白衣民族" (Today Korean ancestors) wearing this fully chest exposed Korean dress (hanbok) is an "honor" for many Korean women - because she has a son! If the woman does not have a son or has daughters, she is not eligible to wear this kind of dew suit - only a korean woman who has a son is eligible to show her chest. So instead of feeling ashamed, these korean women in dew clothes have the feeling of "I'm proud of having a son! I want the world to know!" The meaning of. At that time, when there was no scientific contraceptive measures, the vast majority of Korean women would eventually give birth to a son, so the vast majority of Korean women could finally wear "proud" dew clothes. So this dew suit is the real traditional dress in Korea! Deliberately shirtless is a Korean tradition (hanbok), even in 2014. When the Pope visited South19 Korea, they also set up a "deliberately shirtless" statue to commemorate their tradition! ------------------------------ 1910. Japan has swallowed Korea. The Japanese believe that some of the low -level Korean traditional culture and primitive (women expose their nipples and transport things on their heads) are very primitive and backward. The Japanese banned Korean women from exposing the nipples (the traditional Korean costume. Hanbok). The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention. In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth. (But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples). Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely. ** "white-clothed ethnic 白衣民族" in history = the ancestors of the Korean . ------------------- Korean TV series is specially used to create fake history (and culture) and brainwashing humans South Korean historical dramas copy Chinese historical dramas by wearing clothes and headdresses that never appeared in Korea history. Many years ago, your Korean drama crew started to go to China to buy props that the Chinese crew did not want and shoot TV series in Chinese city Hengdian. Now there are even cultural relics of China's Han Dynasty in the Korean TV series. Koreans even copied the whole Hengdian, but Hengdian is all Chinese style architecture . Nnot only copy Chinese architecture, but also copy Chinese interior decoration. Chinese elements always appear in Korean TV dramas, such as ancient paintings, food, clothing, especially traditional clothes. Korean people often pretend to be the clothes and hairstyles of ancient Chinese people. Koreans have gone crazy, incorporate a lot of Chinese elements into TV dramas and claim that they are Korean. Koreans always give them barren history breast enhancement, just as Koreans are good at plastic surgery.
someone shared this fun fact with me the other day: many of the doorposts in and around the palaces are purposefully lowered, so when stepping through you’re ‘forced’ to bend through the waist, which basically makes you respectfully bow 🙇🏼♀️
Joost definitely has to bow down. Me on the other hand.. 😂 i'm not tall enough for it lol (unfortunately)
Doorposts’ low heights are mostly about people’s heights at that era, but also pretty related to hindering horses and chivalries coming in.
EAST SEA Gangreung is also included:) 👍
You'll see that in the third vlog! The Seoraksan area is so pretty 😍
From the SEOUL TO BUSAN 👍 Good trip plan route.
Wauw wat een gaaf filmpje😍
Liefff, dankjewel!
Welcome to Korea. Koreans are very kind And welcome to visit!
Thank you! They're indeed very kind and helping us out along the way. It's such a great country.

If you still in Seoul, go to the 낙산공원 near the 동대문 subway station ( the 1 line) for the beautiful night view *^^* There are always many people and many cafes ^^ good luck ~~
Unfortunately we're already back home, but we'll definitely visit Seoul again.
And in korean restaurants if you need more side dishes, you always can get it for free. That's Korean rule so ask it to the employees ~*^^*
