I just finished my skiing trip in the snowy area in northern China, so ... just after the Japanese New Year, let's go to a warm place.
After two years, I traveled around Kyushu again, so I didn't even have a chance to put it on the agenda. I'm just saying I'll leave.
After all, I have made small trips to Kyushu again and again. For me, a trip to Kyushu seems more like a free trip.
After all, when I arrived in Kyushu, everything was intimate and pleasant.
Speaking of Fukuoka Prefecture, Fukuoka can be said to be the "most familiar stranger" every time I come to Kyushu. Of the seven counties in Kyushu, I have been to Fukuoka the most times, but every time I change trains in a hurry and then turn around and go to other places.
On second thought, I seem to have missed a lot of beautiful scenery in Fukuoka. Since I missed it, let's make up for it this time.
For Fukuoka Prefecture, there is no need to talk about food in Fukuoka City. The nights in Lamian Noodles and Wutai ... Fukuoka are super rich food stages. However, for me, I always want to find some different places, see beautiful scenery unfamiliar to many people and eat more authentic food.
So I asked my friend who lives in Fukuoka, "Why don't you go to the island?"
Oh? Wangdao is not far from Fukuoka City. You can get there directly by Jr. It's not too convenient.
The location of the island is actually in the northwest of Fukuoka Prefecture, which is completely different from the feeling of Fukuoka City. Because it is close to the sea, it has a southern style. Beach, sea, barbecue, palm trees ... The whole island gives me the feeling that it is a pure natural holiday resort.
When I came to the first stop on the island, everything was natural ... Let's experience the rich seafood first, after all, Kyushu! "Eating in Kyushu" is super tempting for me. After all, compared with Kyoto, which is located inland, the seafood in Kyushu is really delicious.
さぅぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉ 12
It is an instant feeling to swallow a mouthful of seafood into your mouth: hmm! It was Kyushu!
Or you can choose to order a seafood sashimi dinner directly. The ingredients are super fresh, and the rice is covered with shredded eggs, which is delicious with sashimi. The price of a copy is not high, which is really affordable for shops in the fields and villages.
The "beauty" of the island is not only about food, but if you can travel on the island, there are several places that are very suitable for taking pictures and punching in.
After lunch in our restaurant, you can go for a walk on the beach next to the restaurant. Take a photo and punch in. The palm tree swing is on the beach over there. If the weather is fine, a beautiful photo will be released in a few minutes, and there is no need to retouch it.
In addition, there is also a photo punching point in the parking lot by the sea.
A row of vending machines, you can pretend that you are one of the goods. However, I am more interested in any door of Doraemon than vending machines! I hope I can see the penguins in the Antarctic as soon as I open the door, or look at the buildings in ancient Rome and the aurora in northern Europe ... Well, although these are just fantasies, the sea behind the door is super beautiful.
In addition, there is a London bus nearby, which is also super suitable for taking beautiful photos of ins wind.
However, if the most famous photo location on the island is also Fukuoka's iconic photo punching point, it must be the white torii and Meotoiwa in Erjianpu on the island.
It is also one of the best 100 beaches in Japan, and it is super beautiful to shoot sunsets when the weather is good. Moreover, the couple are said to rock in the sea to protect the harmonious relationship between husband and wife or seek a good marriage! So, if you come to the island, remember to look around.
Traveling around the island, basically more than half a day, you can slowly turn down. Although it is not the familiar Fukuoka Prefecture, it is really suitable for vacation and relaxation. Although the island is small, there are not many tourists at present. It is a relatively small shooting place, exquisite and beautiful, and really comfortable.

If I leave Fukuoka and travel around Kyushu slowly, I usually choose to go directly to Nagasaki.
I am no stranger to Nagasaki. I still remember that when I first traveled to Nagasaki a few years ago, the most impressive thing was Zhonghua Street in Nagasaki. At that time, just in time for the Spring Festival in China, Nagasaki Lantern Festival was held on Zhonghua Street, and I even thought it was a homecoming.
However, this time, I didn't choose to go to Nagasaki, but went directly to visit 99 islands in sasebo as I did two years ago.
However, it is a great pity that the weather is not good. When I arrived in sasebo that day, I found some rain in Mao Mao.
I checked the cruise ship No.99 on sasebo Island, but due to the waves, the cruise ship was suspended that day, so I had to go to Zhan Haifeng Observatory first.
Originally, I was looking forward to seeing the panorama of 99 islands in the sea from Zhan Haifeng's observatory, which made up for some regrets that I couldn't take a boat. However, it was misty and rainy at that time, and I didn't seem to see the imaginary blue sky and blue sea island. However, on second thought, this kind of scenery also adds a kind of ink painting texture of smoky fairyland.
Nagasaki sure enough, beautiful scenery is beautiful scenery, no matter when, there is always a side to show charm.
If you leave the Observatory, you can go for a walk in the Heikkila at the ninety-nine Island Aquarium. Although this small aquarium is not very big, it is still very interesting.
Most of the fish here are marine fish from 99 islands. You can also see hundreds of fish swimming around in the big fish tank, watching dolphins in the pool on the platform, and an independent jellyfish hall, which is very romantic in the dark environment.
It's actually quite comfortable to visit kirara, an aquarium consisting of 99 islands, or to take a walk and blow the sea breeze in the small harbor outside the aquarium. In summer, there will be some sea activities here, and the small shops and restaurants on the shore are also very interesting.
I look forward to visiting again next summer!
If you have time, you can go to sasebo Wu Fan Street near the port of 99 Island.
This is actually next to the port of sasebo, which is a relatively new comprehensive commercial facility. There are not only many common brand stores and bookstores, but also some restaurants with Nagasaki characteristics.
Like me, you can buy a sasebo burger here in the harbor, have a cup of coffee, sit on a bench next to the harbor and watch the sea and people walking and chatting around.
In fact, such a scene is the only way to truly feel your travel. For a time, it was as leisurely as the local residents.
However, when it comes to food, sasebo's food is not just hamburgers. Although hamburgers in sasebo are really famous, and even a local map of hamburgers has been made, local lemon steaks actually have to have a name.
Sasebo is a famous restaurant in sasebo that eats lemon steak. My friends inquired about the opening time long ago, because … after all, this is a popular local restaurant. If we don't enter the store early, we will wait in line with an empty stomach.
Lemon steak is the specialty of the store. The steak is tender and tender, with some obvious lemon aroma. In addition to the meat flavor of steak, it also has a fruity flavor, which is more "playful" and has a fragrant lips and teeth.
Although I didn't have many new ideas on this day in Nagasaki, I revisited my old place after more than two years, and I was much more free. You can slowly look at people and things that you didn't notice before, and you can also see the familiar beauty, another beauty that you are not familiar with.

Different from the previous trip to Kyushu, Saga Prefecture should be regarded as the "Kyushu Treasure" tourist destination I discovered this time.
It was near dusk when I left Sasebo City in Nagasaki Prefecture and arrived at Nishino Hot Spring in Saga Prefecture. In fact, before I came to Saga Prefecture, I was still asking my friends in Kyushu, are we going to Wu Xiong Hot Springs this time? My friend shook his head. "I'll take you to one of the three hot springs in Japan. ""Super good, beautiful. " .
Hmm? After hearing what she said, my interest really increased instantly 100%. It is estimated that no girl can refuse the temptation of beauty.
In fact, speaking of wild hot springs, the hot springs here are famous for their beauty soup in Japan. Mainly because the spring water contains sodium bicarbonate and chloride, all five colors look transparent. Therefore, when you soak in hot springs, you can feel a unique sense of lubrication, which can soften and wash off keratin and sebum, making your skin soft and moist. So friends say it has the effect of beauty beauty.
In that case, when you arrive at Xiye Hot Spring, you must stay in a hot spring hotel. This time, I chose to live in the "Tea Heart Paradise". Speaking of harmonious paradise, the hot spring water here is not only the quality of the spring water of Meifu Spring, but also because tea is produced in the wild here, putting tea bags in the hot spring is healthy and beautiful, which is absolutely unique.
Soak in a hot spring, and an authentic Saga beef dish is indispensable for dinner. The dinner in the paradise is also delicious! Saga beef tastes really pleasant, and the entrance is very soft, but then you can feel the slight chewiness of the meat. When you bite it, gravy will spread in your mouth, which is so satisfying.
After a leisurely dinner, I went back to my room and the bed was made. The comfort of staying in Japanese hot spring hotel is this kind of leisurely relaxation, and the fatigue of the journey will be taken away instantly.
After a good night's sleep and a hearty Japanese breakfast, I felt full of energy when I set out to see the scenery in Saga Prefecture the next day. A good hot spring hotel is like a gas station during a trip, which is comfortable and cozy.
In Saga Prefecture, not far from Nishino Hot Springs, there is a very popular shrine in Miyuki, which can not only pray for abundant crops, but also be a good place to bless marriage. It is said that there is a long queue here every year when the Japanese New Year comes. The architecture of Inagawa Yoyo Shrine is also quite fashionable, which is slightly different from that of traditional Japanese shrines and temples. It is a suspended wooden building built on a hillside, but it is very similar in style to Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto. But Kiyomizu Temple is so famous that it is relatively quiet here.
The shop street in front of the shrine will sell a very distinctive "Milian mutton soup", which is a small cylinder with strings, which really looks like firecrackers from a distance. That small string can be cut when eating mutton soup. This is an interesting little idea.
Continue along the coastline of Saga Prefecture, and you will pass by Youming Sea. This is a very famous seaweed producing area in Saga Prefecture. However, we don't come to see seaweed, but there are three torii on the high seas, which has recently become the punching place for Japanese SNS social networks among network celebrities.
Three Kotorii, extending from the shore to the sea. With the ebb and flow of tides and the blue sky at sunset, you can take different scenery, and you can take photos of all kinds of feelings from different angles, which is very beautiful.
However, I am interested in a path that extends into the sea. I walk slowly, but I also find that even if I press the shutter, I can shoot a large rhythm.
In addition to Saga meat, Saga seafood is actually quite good. I was very surprised by the taste of a meal of bamboo crab (it should be called swimming crab in China) in Fengyang Village.
Although there is no shortage of swimming crabs in China, two oversized and fresh bamboo crabs are served on the table with other seafood; My friend ordered crab rice and other dishes. A table full of crabs and seafood is really a great pleasure for seafood lovers.
So, food lovers, when you come to Saga, you must come with an empty stomach, otherwise … you may regret not eating so many delicious foods.

On the way from Saga Prefecture to Kumamoto Prefecture, I thought we would drive all the way along the coastline, but I didn't expect my friend to make a direct reservation to take a boat from Nagasaki, which is adjacent to Saga Prefecture, to the port of Kumamoto Prefecture. Cars can be loaded directly. We can enjoy the scenery on the deck and feed the seagulls. In other words, it is surrounded by seagulls and grabs food in it.
Kumamoto's seagulls are really not afraid of human feelings. Unlike the "shy" seagulls who go to the northeast coast of Japan by boat, there are really tough seagulls in Kyushu. Go straight down from the air and hold the food in your hand. Great! So, if you are brave enough, get in touch with seagulls!
It's already night in Kumamoto, and such a night belongs to Kumamoto cuisine.
Kumamoto's horse meat and Lamian Noodles can't be missed. Kumamoto's shop is very popular with the horse meat dish "SUGANOYA". The whole horse meat can be grilled or sashimi, and there are some cooking methods for various rare parts. If you are a horse meat lover, or are curious and want to try it, this store is best not to miss it.
If you still feel the need for a midnight snack after eating horse meat, you'd better find a Kumamoto Lamian Noodles. There are some Kumamoto nights with winter flavor, hot noodles, fragrant and soft barbecued pork, and the taste of dolphin bone soup head is similar and very comfortable.
I may have been to Kumamoto too many times. I didn't choose to have a close date with the "minister" this time, but went directly to Mount Asu.
On the way, I asked my friend, can we see the crater this time?
My friend looked at me with a straight face, "What are you thinking?" I know this time is over ... I have been to Asu Mountain four or five times, and although I have different feelings every time, I have never seen the true appearance of Asu crater.
Coming to Ashu crater in winter is completely different from the sight of green grass thousands of miles away. In fact, it is a dreamy feeling in a white fairy tale! The grass is yellow, and shrubs and small trees on both sides have a layer of frost hanging on it. Is this tree on Mount Asu ice? Unexpectedly, Kyushu is so close to the south that you can see the tree ice on the mountain!
It is not only a dream of thousands of miles in the grass, but also an "unreality" in the mountains.
On the way down the mountain, I met "Ye Xiangming Asu Plateau Picture Book Art Museum". I don't remember much by the roadside, but there are many dry Kun in the house and yard. The exhibition hall in the house is small, and it's all paintings by Ye Xiangming and his brother. It's very healing. If you have time, sit in the house and have a cup of coffee, chat with the curator and listen to the piano he plays. Do you feel a sense of seclusion on such a mountain?
If the room is full of seclusion, you will feel more "illusory" away from the secular world if you open the door. There seems to be no restored courtyard, but looking back, you can shoot that fantastic scene. It turns out that such a big yard has been taken care of by the curator bit by bit for so many years. Workers are not invited, and everything depends on their own hands. "What can I do with money? For this courtyard, without my love, there is no vitality."
Curators with dreams live a dreamy pastoral life.
In addition to the "illusory dream" of Asu Mountain in winter, Kumamoto also has the reality of satisfying taste buds.
Kumamoto Prefecture is one of the most famous strawberry producing areas in Japan, so the strawberry picking season has just begun. How can we miss the strawberry picking experience?
For half an hour, as a crazy strawberry lover, I buried myself in the greenhouse and ate a lot. It's really sweet! Different varieties, pick the reddest and biggest, and eat it in one bite ... This is far from the taste that ordinary strawberries sold in supermarkets can match!
However, I feel like a crazy lover, eating so much at once ... I wonder if this picking garden will welcome me next time.
In addition to picking strawberries, it is also a local experience to experience the local food of "Gosen Dengaku" around the stove at the foot of Asu Mountain.
Speaking of stoves, they are actually called floor stoves, which used to be used by Japanese farmers for heating and cooking. Build a low square space under the floor or pedestal, spread ashes, put wood or charcoal on it, make a fire, and barbecue food around it, which becomes a local delicacy around the stove.
In an old house with a sense of regional history, experiencing such authentic local cuisine really has a different regional style in the fields of Asu Mountain.

Leaving Asu Mountain, the next stop around Kyushu is naturally Oita Prefecture.
When you arrive in Oita Prefecture, you can't help but visit Beppu, the first hot spring town in Japan.
There are nine hell hot springs in Beppu, in addition, there are eight representative hot springs in Beppu, which are called "Beppu Eight Soups".
The hot spring hotel this time is the "iron wheel hot spring" discovered and created in Kamakura era! It feels quite historical.
"Romantic Hotel" is also a very traditional hot spring hotel, but the difference is that dinner and breakfast here are all in the form of buffet. There are not only Japanese food here, but also some foreign food. You can simply experience the fun of "steamed vegetables in hell", although it is not really made of hot spring steam, but is replaced by solid alcohol. However, it would be nice if you could feel the fun.
After dinner, I went to the hot spring. That's Kyushu, the Beppu in Oita Prefecture. It's so comfortable
However, are the hot springs in Beppu just this very traditional hot spring water? You don't say! In addition to the "romantic hotel" in traditional hot springs, we also experienced the unique "sand bath".
HYOTAN hot spring with a history of 100 years features a sand bath. Sand bath needs to change into a special bathrobe, walk into the sand bath, dig an area in the sand pit with a special Xiao Mu rake, and then cover yourself with sand. Because there are natural hot springs under the sand, the deeper you dig, the higher the temperature will be.
Lying on the warm beach, I feel that I can have a good sleep for a while and it is quite comfortable. There are hot spring eggs cooked by the store in the yard, so you can buy them yourself. They smell good!
After taking a sand bath, there is no problem if you want to experience traditional hot springs. After a simple washing, you can experience the oldest hot spring pool in Hulu Hot Spring. The shape of the gourd made of natural stone is quite interesting. In addition, there are waterfall hot springs, and there are also large hot spring pools outdoors. I have to say, it is really another family, completely realizing the freedom of soaking in hot springs!
As for the special hot springs, in addition to the sand bath, you can also go to the alum hot spring in the nearby "Beifu Batang" to experience the production process of pure natural milky white soup flower (alum).
If you have time, you can also make an appointment to experience the outdoor hot springs here. Although there are no modern facilities, the hut can be destroyed by the whole family. No wonder it was named "Family Soup". Milky white natural hot springs are also quite popular.
Beppu feels the charm of hot springs, authentic steamed pudding from hell, and authentic steamed vegetables from Beppu's hell are the specialties of Beppu.
The earliest steamed pudding in hell was actually made in alum hot spring, so when you come out of alum hot spring, you can see the super authentic steamed pudding shop in hell on the roadside. The pudding is hand-made, not sweet, with a delicate and smooth taste, and a little mixed taste is definitely the finishing touch.
I feel more involved in steamed vegetables in hell. You can prepare your own ingredients in advance or order them directly from the store. Vegetables, seafood, eggs, all kinds of meat ... there are quite rich ingredients that can be used for steaming in hell. The temperature of Biefu hot spring water is almost as high as 100 degrees Celsius, which can be used to steam these foods. It is really a natural, environmentally friendly and healthy cooking method. And the freshness of the ingredients completely guarantees the taste of the food.
Starting from Beppu, if you still have time, you can go to the Kyushu Nature Zoo in Oita Prefecture to feel the feeling of "people feeding wild animals in the car". When the lion opens his mouth to surround you at close range, he is not afraid, but thinks … this big cat is a little cute. However, without the protection of my chinchilla, I would be scared to death.
In addition to seeing lions, there are all kinds of sheep, elephants, camels, tigers, black bears and zebras ... Seeing these wild animals at close range, I feel that the relationship between people and wild animals may be so wonderful.

During my visit to Kyushu, I still missed Kagoshima and Miyazaki due to time constraints.
However, I have been to Kagoshima several times, but I am quite familiar with it.
Arriving in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, no matter who can ignore it, it is Sakura Island in front of us.
Sakurajima is a very active volcano, erupting more than 800 times a year on average, almost twice a day! But don't be afraid. The eruption of Sakurajima is also one of the characteristic landscapes of Kagoshima, and it is still very safe.
Speaking of Yakushima, this is the location of the Miyazaki Hayao movie Princess Ghost! I still remember that hiking trip to Yakushima, which was a completely natural virgin forest with only running water and birds singing around. It was so comfortable! However, the journey to Yakushima still has some twists and turns, and you need to arrive directly from Kagoshima by boat or plane. However, beautiful scenery is always hard to reach.
For Miyazaki Prefecture, every time I travel to Kyushu, I always pass by Miyazaki Prefecture in a hurry, but the charm of Miyazaki Prefecture is worth experiencing.
The location of Miyazaki Prefecture was actually called Sungoku as early as the Nara era, so Miyazaki Prefecture is still called Sungoku today. However, when we talk about the word "coming to Japan" now, it means that Miyazaki Hayao has a good climate and plenty of sunshine, so does it sound very southern?
Qingdao is an island on the southern coast of Miyazaki Prefecture. Speaking of this island, it is a very famous tourist attraction in Miyazaki Prefecture. The coastal rocks in Qingdao are very interesting, because they have been impacted and eroded by waves for a long time, forming traces, which look like washboards from a distance, so they are also called "ghost washboards".
Gaoqianhu Gorge, located in the north of Miyazaki Prefecture, is another kind of scenery. It is said that this is the place where gods appeared in ancient Japanese mythology, so it feels that the whole canyon is mysterious. The V-shaped deep canyon can be entered by boat and is surrounded by dense natural forests. If it is summer, it is definitely a good place to escape the heat.
In addition to beautiful scenery and good climate, Miyazaki beef is also the "leader" of Japan and cattle, and it wins the gold medal in Japan and cattle competition every year! Known as the first in Japan (unexpectedly, not the famous three big cows)! I have eaten many buffaloes from all over Japan, and I think I need to find a time to go to Miyazaki to feel such delicious food!
-There are some not-so-gorgeous dividing lines-
