This is the third episode of 'It's Still Summer in Kyushu', a vlog series where I take you on a 9-day journey across Kyushu.

    As a Japanese person, this video is the best one I would like all foreigners queuing in long lines while staring at route maps on ticket machines at Tokyo Station or Shinjuku Station to watch. By the way, there’s another reason why I recommend IC cards. It’s because of the system known as 'through service,' which is particularly common in Japan’s major cities. It is a system where multiple different railway operators run shared trains, allowing them to seamlessly cross over between lines. For passengers, there is the advantage of not needing to transfer at stations, but there is also the problem that purchasing paper tickets becomes extremely difficult. This is because the fare charts displayed above the ticket machines usually only show the routes of their own railway company. To be honest, I don’t know how to buy tickets when traveling across multiple railway operators, nor do I understand how the fares are calculated. However, with an IC card, the fares are calculated automatically, so there’s no need to worry about that. For this reason, I strongly recommend purchasing an IC card.

      @@Excelsior2043 I was there in spring this year for the cherry blossoms and had mixed feelings for the trip. While the cherry blossoms sure are beautiful, if you plan to visit the common spots, be prepared for overwhelming crowds. There's no way around it. But one larger issue for me was that staring at cherry blossoms...gets old quickly. They were not that different from place to place, and most of those spots didn't have too much going on besides the flowers. I was really starting to get bored two days in. So if there's one piece of advice I need to share, that would be don't plan your entire trip 100% around the cherry blossoms, have days or things to do in between to cleanse your palate so that you don't burn out that easily. Oh and, if you can, don't lock absolutely everything down when you do your planning. The blossoming period can change a lot due to temperature fluctuations and forcasts can be very inaccurate. Instead, try to be flexible so you don't have to commit to an itinerary that doesn't work any more.

    great Video, however, I travel quite often in Japan for 4-8 weeks, my experience is that the need for reservations is overrated and cumbersome, time consuming and not really necessary. the first three cars on a Shinkansen are non-reserved and there were lots of seats (car one my fav) even during busy times. Besides that, the frequency of trains allows to skip one and take the next one, I really like that flexibility. I like to point out that many Destinations are served by JR lines and other rail companies. So pick your trains carefully to avoid paying extra. one of my companions is the "Japan Railway Travel Atlas" a small but useful booklet showing all lines for exploring the not so common but interesting routes.

    Keep Kagoshima to yourselves folks, it doesn't need overtourism. ;) I was there this summer for 6 days, didn't have time for Yakushima. But I specifically did go there to avoid crowded place and tourists and visited the mountains and seashores. I'm trying to find a way to go work in japan, but if I could I would go settle in Kagoshima, this is an incredible prefecture. I would recomend not to go there during summer japanese vacation, a lot of nice places are closed in small towns. (This was my only rergret) If you can drive in japan, do like me, rent a car, this the best way to explore the area, this is deep countryside, you don't really have a choice once you step out of the Kagoshima city. I rented a car for 3 and half day, I loved every minutes of it. People here are very chill and nice, and much more natural than Tokyo. The japanese roads there on the shore and mountains are incredible, if you love to drive you will enjoy it a lot. The small towns of the south and south-west coast are nice and the view of the coastline incredible. The local food is incredibly good either. It is much more "tropical" than the rest of japan. If you plan to go there and want nice spots feel free to ask me. (but a car is recomended)

      I get it. Kagoshima has become one of my favourite cities in Japan after this trip. The laid-back vibes, the beautiful climate, the breathtaking landscapes, it just ticks so many boxes. I have more to show about this amazing city in the coming episodes. I can't legally drive in Japan right now, but getting a drivers license in Japan is definitely high on my list. As you've mentioned, I've realised that whenever you are outside of Kansai or Greater Tokyo, your freedom of exploration is heavily limited by the lack of means of transport. There are a ton of places I've marked on my map that I wanted to visit but couldn't because driving wasn't an option. Hopefully that'll change soon.
