🌍 Description

In July and August 2023, we spent 5 weeks exploring Japan on a budget. This is episode 8 of this series A Summer In Japan, where we explored a bit of the Kyushu Island. We stayed 3 days in Kumamoto Prefecture, chasing the famous One Piece statues, being amazed by the variety of landscapes in Mount Aso, and drinking matcha in the scenic gardens of Suizenji.
