5 Day Kyushu Road TripšŸŒ‹ā™Øļø Scenic spots, Aso, Yufuin (Ghibli) Village, Beppu’s Hot Springs | Ep 4

This past autumn, we embarked on our first-ever adventure across #Kyushu, Japan — road-tripping from Aso, Kumamoto to Yufuin to Oita! Let’s say we were not ready for how breathtaking this journey would be.

From visiting Mount Aso, an active volcano (and nearly passing out from the rotten egg stench šŸ¤¢šŸ”„), to soaking in the surreal beauty of Beppu’s ā€œHellsā€ onsen, this whole trip was packed with beautiful landscapes, heartwarming encounters and some of the best hospitality we’ve ever experienced.

We can’t wait to take you along on this unforgettable journey — so come along and let’s explore Kyushu together! šŸš—šŸ’ØšŸ‡ÆšŸ‡µ
