One of my least explored regions in Japan is Kyushu, and I was thrilled to be given this opportunity to go around different prefectures in Kyushu this February!

Here’s my Kyushu Guide using JR Kyushu Rail Pass!

I’m assuming that most of you who are reading this are somewhat, to a mild extent, a Japan maniac like me so I am recommending this itinerary using JR Kyushu Rail Pass –

All Kyushu Area Pass 5 DAYS. 

Hello all! Today I’m sharing with you the cutest bullet train in the world – Hello Kitty Shinkansen!

I knew about this themed Shinkansen run by JR West last year, but I hardly get a chance to visit west Japan area (I’m always in Tokyo!) so I was really sad when missed the campaign period as I saw some review website saying that it is running until Oct 2018 only.

But that was not true! It is still happily running every single day between Hakata and Osaka! 😀

It does rest for a few days for maintenance services so be sure to check out its calendar to make sure you don’t miss it the day you wanna board the train! read more

I hope you have a better idea on JR West Rail Passes after reading my previous blog post. ^^

So now, sample itinerary time! 

The first pass I’ll be introducing is Sanyo-San’in Area Pass. This pass is valid for 7 days, here’s a sample itinerary that brings you across 6 prefectures in 7D7N (or 7D6N) with minimum change of hotels so that you won’t have to haul your luggage everywhere with you! You will be staying 2 nights in Hiroshima, 3 nights in Okayama and 1 or 2 night(s) in Osaka. ^^ read more

Trip to Kyushu!

I have been sitting here forever and i had no idea how many pictures i have uploaded, and i don’t even Photoshop my pictures anymore cuz use some hipster instagram filter.

We went to Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Kagoshima, you probably have no idea what those are, is okay, neither did i. Those are the major cities in Kyushu, which is at the west side of Japan , and very far from Tokyo. Kyushu is maybe not as popular a tourist spot for Malaysian because there isn’t direct flight there. read more
