The 10th Kyushu trip in 2016
Traveling is always a “need” to refresh and relax myself after the stressful work and drive for my life balance. The first time I visited Kyushu was more than 2 decades with my granny, it was definitely an old village with some beautiful sceneries came to my mind. After traveling in Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido and Okinawa, Kyushu has ever been the most popular traveling choices for me in Japan annually since 2008. It is always a good place to travel with family, friends or alone with the cleanness, beauty of nature, traditional culture, convenience, safeness, friendliness of locals and tones of uncountable exceptional experiences when you explore each of the prefectural (県).

Gastronomic Adventures in Fukuoka and O…
I love Japanese food and Kyushu has its fair share of delectable offerings. Don't worry if you don't have many days to visit all the prefectures in Kyushu to sample their unique dishes - these days, food has transcended all boundaries and especially in the bigger cities, you'd probably be able to find an eatery serving a particular specialty dish from a particular region.
My 6-day travels took me to Fukuoka and Oita Prefecture (Taketa City, Yufuin and Beppu) and I managed to sample a variety of delicious food!
Kyushu is best known to be the home of tonkotsu ramen and what better way to start the trip than with a bowl of piping hot ramen at the Tenjin area in Fukuoka!

Unseen in Dazaifu, Kamado Shrine
Last fall, I went to Dazaifu to taking picture of the red leaves. I was expecting a lot of tourists there since it was weekend. However, after I arrived the Kamado Shrine, there were less tourists than I expected. Moreover, it was a perfect period to come see the nature and there is also hiking track. Kamado Shrine is just 15-minute away by bus from Nishitetsu Dazaifu station and the fee is 100 yen. For those who are looking for a spot to see Kouyou(紅葉) I proudly recommend this place.
PS. the picture above is when the 11 am sun shines through the glass you will see the rainbow. Love it.

Seeking Love in Nagasaki!
Many people knows Nagasaki for a not very pleasant reason, but it's no fault of the city really. However, I have to confess how Nagasaki emerged like a reborn phoenix from a devastated city into a sparkling pearl in the post war era made me captivated!
Hopefully my short post on Nagasaki can share more prominence what this city currently brings. Let us begin from Nagasaki Station!
