Going to Kyushu for the first time in a few weeks and your video really hyped me up! If you loved Miyazaki, I feel you'd love Matsushima as well. It's definitely one of the most memorable areas I've been to and I've visited Japan 6x
I love this style of video, so much more engaging than vlogs! Recounting your entire trip like this also seems like a great way to keep it in your memory for longer
this is such a good look back on your trip🥺 thank you for sharing your thoughts and wonderful stories on each city in Kyushu while showing the beautiful pictures💞
Hi from NY! 🗽I stumbled into this video and really enjoyed everything you shared. I’m from Kyushu - born and raised in Fukuoka, moved to Miyazaki when I was young, went to Beppu for my family vacation, had a school trip to Kumamoto, and took a day trip to Nagasaki with my friends, so it was sooooo cool to watch your journey. Love gorgeous photos and your walks. I used to climb on the hill in my hometown and loved looking over dreaming one day I was gonna move somewhere very far. So NY is my forever home now, but I miss Japan very much. (esp the food! 😆) Please go visit Kyoto and Nara… absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for creating this video! ❤️
I love that this video brought you back to those memories for a moment! And gosh don’t get me started on the food, it’s incredible 🤤 I’ve never been to NY but it’s definitely on my travel bucket list! Thank you so much for watching 🫶🏻
Yes!! This was our first trip where we shot analog and I loved it SO MUCH. The excitement from getting the film developed is unmatched, almost like reliving the trip 🥹❤️
thank you for making this video. my wife and i are traveling to kyushu later this year and after being overwhelmed by the amount of research, this video was exactly what i was looking for
@@thecarmeister thank you for taking the time to respond! your channel is lovely to watch :) i was wondering, how did you and your husband get around in kyushu? i hear renting a car is best, but i wanted to ask about your folks' experience.
@@toddchang2638We opted for the JR Kyushu Rail Pass. It was so relaxing to travel by train and very easy to navigate! They have a website with all the info & prices, I’d definitely give it a look and compare the price to renting a car/gas/traveling time etc. I don’t know how they stack up, but Japan’s train system is so top tier that I highly recommend it regardless 😊
A lovely vlog. It reminded me when I went in Japan more than 10 years ago now ( I did the most touristy places like Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Takayama, Koyasan, and of course Tokyo...) and places were so quiet and empty... I felt lucky now that I see how Japan is packed with tourists...If I have to return one day it would be in one of those remote areas or nobody go ...By the way your husband is really handsome, You look lovely together ;-)
Oh I can only imagine how lovely that must’ve been. Kanazawa and Takayama are very high on my list! I hope to see them one day. I passed the compliment on to my husband, he’s very flattered haha ❤️
Thank you for creating such a respectful vision of your trip. A gentle treatment of the places you visited. What was the name of your tablet that cured your issue? My wife suffered on our last trip. Thanks again
Thank you for your kind words :) The name of the tablets is Seirogan. I wish I discovered it earlier on because within a day I started to feel better. I also saw lots of tourists stock up on it while we were there haha. It’s going to be a travel staple for us now!
Hehe... I live in Kagoshima. Watched all the way through and all you talked about was walking up the stairs to the viewpoint. I figured that you might have taken the ferry across to the volcano or something.
I know 😔 We didn’t get to see as much of Kagoshima as we wanted. Afterwards we walked through the city for a bit, but our legs didn’t want to continue any further so we mainly rested 😅 I hope we get to explore it better if we ever get to go back!
Love the video! I really want to visit Japan some time in my life ❤ I'm curious what cameras you used for the pictures, especially the ones made by your husband 😊 Groetjes uit Nederland!
Thank you for this lovely video! Just wondering when exactly in November did you visit Kyushu? Early/mid? Looks like you timed it pretty well with the colorful autumn show. Oh and Casy is beyond cool! ❤
Thank you for watching 😊 We actually went late November/early December. We were shocked how mild the climate still was even going into December, it was a lovely time to go. 🍁 And yes, we travelled only with a carry on each 🤭 Every hotel we stayed at had great laundry service so it was very manageable. I hate carrying around big suit cases 😂 Made the train rides super easy too!
@@thecarmeister Totally agree about the hassle of traveling with bulky luggage. Traveling light is best, but packing light and smart is an art form 😉 I am actually planning a Kyushu itinerary somewhat similar to yours, and currently have a couple of days in Kumamoto included. However, seeing that it’s a relatively short train ride from Fukuoka, I’m thinking to visit it as a day trip and spend the remaining time in other locations. What was your impression of Kumamoto? Do you think it is suitable as a day trip or is it better to stay there for a few days to get a fuller experience? Thanks!
@@Leei I personally really loved Kumamoto and was glad we decided to stay two nights! It feels like a very laid back city and the castle area is gorgeous, I feel that you can already spend a lot of time there on its own. Suizenji Jojuen Garden is a must visit too. I think it's worth it to spend at least one night there. It's not a massive city, so you wouldn't need to stay any longer to explore the highlights. A day trip is definitely doable, but you might feel a bit rushed!
Ooooohhh ik zou ook nog zo graag een keer in het voorjaar naar Japan willen gaan! Staat sowieso op de bucket list. 🌸 Najaar is echt een aanrader. Vluchten in November zijn vaak een stuk goedkoper, en toen wij er waren (eind november/begin december) lagen de temperaturen gewoon nog tussen 15 en 22 graden! Echt perfect 🙌🏻
I don’t want to intrude, but is yoir husbans a PWA? Person with Albinism? I thought I’d ask because I do too and it’s so nice to see other people like me living and thriving! I was just in Japan recently and loved it so much! Excited I found you and I love your video style and the overall vibe, excited to keep following your adventures! ♥️
the photos look amazing, it added such a nice touch to the video :) love the color grading and editing too ^^
Thank you so much! 😊

Thanks for visiting my hometown. Your perspectives so interesting for us. We can realize attractive things from outside opinions like you.
That’s wonderful! It can be very interesting to see your hometown through an outsider’s perspective :) Which place is your hometown?
@@thecarmeister Kumamoto city.My father-in-law is also a potter. Please come again on another trip.
@@ルンビニエン333That’s amazing! I loved Kumamoto. I definitely want to visit again some day and see my friend Kumamon again

Thank you so much! For digital we used a Fujifilm XT-3, and for film the Canon F1. ☺️ Groetjes terug!
Loved this video!!! ❤️
Yay so happy to hear! 🥰
Thank you for this lovely video! Just wondering when exactly in November did you visit Kyushu? Early/mid? Looks like you timed it pretty well with the colorful autumn show. Oh and Casy is beyond cool! ❤
Also, maybe the photos are misleading (29:59), but did you actually manage to travel 24 days in Japan with just a trolley? 😀

How did you guys get around there, did you rent a car or just take the trains and buses ?
We used trains and buses only! It was very easy to get around that way :)
Super leuke video! Vorig jaar bijna hetzelfde rondje Kyushu gemaakt in het voorjaar en nu wil ik ook in het najaar 🥲
Ooooohhh ik zou ook nog zo graag een keer in het voorjaar naar Japan willen gaan! Staat sowieso op de bucket list. 🌸 Najaar is echt een aanrader. Vluchten in November zijn vaak een stuk goedkoper, en toen wij er waren (eind november/begin december) lagen de temperaturen gewoon nog tussen 15 en 22 graden! Echt perfect 🙌🏻
@@thecarmeister Ik ben toen via Korea gevlogen en dat maakte het wel iets goedkoper! Hopelijk maak je tegen die tijd weer zo’n leuke vlog ☺️
What camera you use to filming your vlog?
A Fujifilm XT-3 :)
husband, i am devastated
Such an adventure! RSVP me for the next one!
YES!! 🙌🏻

Hmmm, is the food poisoning medicine you took Seirogan (正露丸 or 征露丸)?
Yep!

No problem at all, he is! That makes me so happy to hear :) Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🫶🏻
Do I hear an accent? I can’t put my finger on it 🤔
Yes! I’m Dutch so that definitely comes out from time to time 🤭
