Yappari Kyushu, part 25

 





With Billie Bee. Just a short spring trip in our backyard. Aren't we blessed?


Kumamoto Style. Let's have a small breakfast, they said......


Good Morning Ube. Planning a camper trip in Yamaguchi Prefecture? Make sure Tokiwa Park in Ube is on your list. Plenty to see and do, for young and old. A1 parking is available.


Yappari Kyushu.


What a Glorious Morning. And it will be nice All Day.


A Wintery Sunset.


Go Rural. Camper rental, way to explore. Way to avoid the crowds.


Utter Concentration. And we have to admit: These noodles taste so much better.


Sigh


This coming May Scenery. The only way to find out Where... is to explore. Campervan, way to go.


Yappari, that's our free Camping Gear.



Better than Xmas Illumination. As seen at Yamaga, Kumamoto


Yappari Flashback to 18 Feb

Yappari Kyushu, part 24

  


Stumbled Upon. The other day we were going for a walk in some remote village and discovered this museum-farmhouse, open to the public. Discovering places like this is the big bonus for going off the beaten track.


Yappari Go Ube. Tokiwa Park in Ube City, Yamaguchi ken, is definite a must-visit if you are into sculptures. You'll find an amazing collection of art well blend in with the park's landscape.


Where is Everybody? Often we have the place for ourselves.


Yappari Plum Blossoms. They are here! Don't miss out. It's still winter, but we are definitely heading towards Kyushu's flower-power season.


Yappari This Is It. An early morning stroll in the park after a night of rain. This is so ........ Anyway, just Be There.


Rural. Do we go Left or do we go Right? Exploring this country village on foot because the roads here are truly way to narrow to navigate with Billie. Plus: walking allows us to interact with the locals. Konichiwa !


Yappari the Yellow Wave is here. First sign winter won't last for ever. Should i mention that Blue Sky?


Time for a Sunset. Looking across the Ariaki Kai with Mt Unzen in the sunset. Nice moment to dream away.


It Can Be Cold These Days. Even at the low-land areas in Kyushu


Yappari United Colors of Sushi. Last week this happened to us somewhere in Kyushu. Didn't argue, just enjoyed.


Yappari a winter trip reflection. We can look back on a wonderful Billie Bee Trip. And again we experienced that between Xmas and NY
it's the best time to go....we got Kyushu for ourselves ;-)



Yappari Safety First. During the winter months, there are those days
the road ahead suddenly goes white.


Where is Billie? 


7Eleven What would life be without?

Bridges. It's very likely you'll cross a few of them.


Yes, autumn showed off its charms.


Wintery Scenery. This squid boat is waiting for better weather conditions. It's something special to explore small fishing ports like this and taste the atmosphere.


Summer Flashback. It's near freezing outside. Best thing to do is looking back at pictures taken during our last summer's camper road trip to central Honshu. Shirakawago


1-way rental. See here 2 of our campers fueling-up while on delivery to Tokyo to meet our customers.

Dressing-up for the occasion.


Smack Downtown Tokyo. Old and New. It's hard to believe, but this is deep inside the city. Our rental-camper AKA is awaiting for her customers. So you see, we do deliver.


Autumn Colors. Looks like the last lot. Still pretty, don't you think so?


Enjoy the drive, the pace and for sure, the scenery.


At any time of the year there is mystic in the air.
Be there to feel it.


Are you planning to take a Kyushu Tour?


At the right place at the right moment. That's one of the Power Points of a Kyushu Camper road trip. Are you ready for ever lasting memories?


Celebrations. There is always something " aahhhh " going on. Here in this remote fishing port all boats are dressed up to celebrate Thanksgiving. Old Japan scenery you won't see in the big cities anymore. Go rural, go camper.

                                                  Autumn Memories.




A rural roadside shop that has seen better times.
Sights and scenery you'll see when you go off the beaten track.
The bus stop is still on-duty.
Mind you, maybe only a few times a day.


Autumn Colors. Facts Matter: It's the Best Season.


Nagasaki. Make sure it is on your itinerary. Park the camper and explore the city on foot or by it's iconic road train. Exciting City indeed.


The Border is Open. As from 11-10-22, traveling to Japan is like how it used to be.



Yappari Kōyō. Kyushu can show you plenty of autumn colors.


More Autumn Colors. Come and visit Aso-Kuju National Park.


One-Way-Rental. Yes, we do !! Here our Toyota Coaster Auckland is being delivered
by ferry to our customers in Osaka. Then they'll enjoy a relaxing camper road trip and return it in Fukuoka.


Autumn Colors. Be there.


Temple Cat. Enjoying a well earned afternoon snooze. Exploring & napping, way to go.


CREA. Birds of the same make & color flock together. Our rental-camper AKA 3777 got company at the shopping mall's parking lot.

Yappari Kyushu, part 20

                                               Some more 2022 memories.

Aren't we blessed to live in this country, to have good health and 

to have the wheels of Billie Bee Bus.  




Green on Green. Not often, but there times we find a overnight spot Off Road. This was at the free parking area at Shiramine, Honshu. Starting point for some great hiking.


Hotspring Time! That's one of the beauties of a camper road trip in Japan: There is always an onsen to be found nearby. Especially in Kyushu. This onsen though is at Shiramine on Honshu.


Starry Night. Not by Vincent v Gogh but by Marijke. Co starring Billie Bee of course. And if you read the stars well: Japan is open again for overseas visitors starting 11 October 2022. Thinking about a camper rental?


Rainy. Those days do occur. Just happy to be here at Shirakawago with a camper and enjoy the comfort. Care for an other coffee?


Road Alone. Where is everybody? Scenery when driving around this mountain range. It had been raining pleasantly and once it stopped, spectacular views appeared.


Green. Somewhere in the middle of no-where. Nope, we're not lost and are enjoying the scenery. A rice paddy next to a tea field, pine tree and bamboo farming. And of course, the ever overgrowing jungle. Green Deal Indeed.
