I am a Japanese high school student,but I like this movie so much. Every time I see comments here, I feel happy to know there are many people who loves Japan. Thank you for every one who like Japan!!
Whoa! A 25 minute video! Loved it. It's great that you had time to go into a little more detail about each place and give us some personal insight. Didn't feel as rushed as some of your other videos. Well done!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Kole Emerson thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I've been living in Kyushu for 3 years now and I would not change it for anything in the world. It's a mesmerizing island wherever you go.
Wow, what a great video. This is exactly what I was planning to do. So nice to see someone has put such a quality piece together showcasing a beautiful less travelled part of the country.
I love travelling to Japan, and Kyushu is one of my favourites for the food, onsen, scenery and hospitality. Thanks for making a video on Kyushu, it is often left behind in Japan travel information!
Great video. Wife is from a town just east of Fukuoka and most of my memories of Japan involve travels across northern Kyushu that you covered. Some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. My favorite was the Mt. Aso caldera complex--think have been there 3 times and at times when you could go up to the crater. Am always ready to go again. Remember my daughter when she was little riding the horses which you showed and remember the views that you showed. And the food!!!
A most remarkable and exotically beautiful country. And this documentary is artistically composed giving one a genuine sense of what puts Japan and Japanese culture at the core of ones memorable experiences. Thank you
Thank you for the longer video! Finally we can enjoy Japan's amazing scenery on your channel without too much rushing! Please post more videos like this, it's really helpful for trip research! 🇯🇵💖💖💖
I much prefer this more long form video. I find it much more useful and the details much more interesting. Thank you guys for putting out some great content!
Wonderful! I’ve been to Kyushu on two different holidays but aside from a Kumamoto haven’t been to any of the places in this video. We did have a sand onsen in Ibusuki though. One of my favourite places in Kyushu would be Kashima where the highlight was visiting the Yutoku Inari Shrine. Thankyou again for the amazing video.
if you ever go back, try to visit Usa Jingu, Kunisaki peninsula (Rokugo Manzan Temples), both in Oita Prefecture. Yotoku Inari Shrine is really beautiful and peaceful. When I went in 2011, I didn't see many international tourists. The crowd really thins out as you hike up the side of the mountain.
Wow! This video reminds me how stunning and just simply beautiful Yufuin and Kurokawa Onsen is. Visited these two places last autumn and the autumn foliage just gives you that tranquil feeling. Ugh, would definitely come back to this place
I rode a lot of Kyushu on a bicycle named Nimbus. The last trip, I flew into Osaka and took the ferry into Oita. I headed North along the coast and finally found my way to Kitakyushu and Fukuoka. After Fukuoka, I headed inland to Sawara and did a challenging climb to Mount Sefuri. I continued to ride around for a few more weeks. Japan is the safest country I've cycled in. Thanks for sharing the video. It brought back a lot of happy memories.
One of the best video I have watched about Japan's scenery. You have certainly put remendous effort and time. Thanks bro. I have fallen in love with Japan during the Pandemic when I didn't have much to do and decided to learn more about countries.
I highly recommend it. I talk about visiting onsen in Beppu (and elsewhere) a bit in my blog. Check it out if you're interested! theworldsoutside.com/2019/10/02/hell-or-hot-water/
I just came back from Japan last Friday ( 2nd trip) there. These are the places I want to see. I know many people love Tokyo but out of the 3 major cities Kyoto was by far the best. I did my research and found the most amazing hidden areas with minimal tourists It was amazing
I’m planning our second trip to Japan. (I watched your videos as I planned our first trip in 2019.) This time, the emphasis will be on mini drives like this one off the beaten path (but comfortably). Thank goodness your videos exist. Appreciate your great work!
Kyushu looks like another gem of Japan. The picturization is awesome and makes us feel that we part of the journey. Thank you so much Japan Guide and Sam Evans. Love to Japan from India. Arigato Gozaimasu 🙏☺️😊✌🏻
Terrific video. It must have taken a tremendous amount of work to put this together; perhaps it's also slightly disheartening that so much work went into this, and there should have more views. So just wanted to drop this note to let you guys know it is greatly appreciated, that most of us who watched it really loved it. Cheers, Japan-Guide.
God, I miss Japan. Daicombo. Such a beautiful place. And it saddens me to know the castle was damaged in an earthquake. Last time I saw it. Was 2015. I really want to go back. Badly. I swear, you go to Japan once. And it just gets in your blood. Japan is a beautiful and peaceful country. And the people are always wonderful. I love Japan. It’s my second home.
Ooooh. A long one! Thanks for another fantastic video! We'll be in both Beppu and Yufuin in our upcoming trip. Too bad we don't have time to fit Kumamoto in as well... but it just gives us reasons to come back again.
Your videos is absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed the whole clip with your clear, precise and stunning scenes along your route. You actually missed driving to Takachiho Gorge which is not far from Mt. Aso or Kumamoto. The food served is heaven on earth. Thank you so much.
The crater of mount Aso it’s a highlight, it’s amazing and strange looking like an ancient prehistoric sight, you were so close, hopefully you’ll be back.
G'day Sam. Thanks so much -great narration, music, filming and music. Such a lively interesting part of Japan. Am returning to Kyushu for the 5th visit b4 Xmas and will follow you guide.
Hello, Simply one of the great videos about Kyushu. Just wanted to know, what was the month/season you visited Kyushu in..? As I'm also planning a roadtrip across Japan in either Autumn of 2025 or Spring of 2026.
This video is so underrated！I always want to have a roadtrip just like this when I visit Japan and the way you plan it is just perfect！the video is beautiful and well explained too！
A nice video that has me wanting to visit some of those places too. I've been to Kurokawa Onsen, which is an absolutely delightful town full of different Onsen experiences & ever so relaxing. So it was lovely seeing it again.
This is really a beautiful country! Even many greens on the highway, I'll definitely enjoy a lot of driving. Great video with sound and animator. P: S: I'm glad that Chaly is fine. I saw this video =D
think live there can be long life, good air, peace, less people , etc your vedio is superb with drone to see the whole area! makes me want to go visit Japan ! Thanks for sharing !
I’ve been to those places using my japan rail pass, but I guess driving is more interesting cause you can stop and go when ever you feel. Ohhhh I miss Japan so much
For all people watching - he says "give your body a good rinse" before getting in the bath but you actually have to give your body a good WASH before getting in - this is very important and you will most likely be frowned upon if you enter the bath by just rinsing, without washing first. It's a big no no in Japan. It's why he says don't let the towel touch the water - it's because you wash your body with the towel.
Only rinsing is fine at most hot spring baths, especially in historical hot spring resorts where toji (therapeutic bathing) has been popular. At many old-fashioned hot spring bath there are not even any alternatives to rinsing because they are not equipped with showers or washing areas. And in some cases, the use of soap may even be prohibited. Hot springs are primarily about getting dirty with minerals. Don't confuse them with public baths.
@@japanguide I was hyperbolic in my comment because I didn’t want tourists to be judged by other Japanese people, most who surprisingly don’t know the ‘kakeyu' (rinsing) tradition. The reality is rather complicated. Could discuss onsen etiquette for hours but basically it’s safer to wash yourself first. That is the norm in 90% of onsens that foreigners will go to. In fact the latest poster advising Japanese onsen etiquette to foreigners by the Japan Spa Association explicitly says “Please wash your body before entering the bath”. You’re absolutely right that some onsens don’t have soaps or showers. Some don’t provide soaps because they do the job for you by removing dead skin and dirt from you like the hydrogen carbonate, sulfur, sulfuric acid and alkaline onsens. Others, because as you say, promote a more therapeutic experience. And because onsens are so stimulating, it’s best not to be too vigorous when washing off your dead skin as you could end up with ’yuatari’ (headache and other symptoms from onsen). There are those who say kakeyu is the norm in Kansai whereas in Kanto and up, it’s washing. I don’t know about that, but I’ve been to more than 50 onsens in my life in Japan, I am Japanese, and I’ve only ever seen a couple of people enter without washing first. So 臨機応変 is called for I think (very useful term for anyone studying Japanese!)
I am a Japanese high school student,but I like this movie so much.
Every time I see comments here, I feel happy to know there are many people who loves Japan.
Thank you for every one who like Japan!!
Thank you so much!!
I'm a Japanese from Kyoshu and still lives in Kyushu. I have to say this video did a great job showing good side of Kyushu. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Traveling to Japan? Watch this video for highlights of Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku & Okinawa Islands!

I went to Beppu and Aso in 2013, this video made me remind my trip. Thanks for the good memories.
Clean editing and Wonderful Sound design..the music and voiceovers flow very well.
Yes, the pacing is very nice, great pictures as well. I could watch them for hours.
Thanks!
Thank you - refreshing to see videos and guides for 'hidden gems'. This has given me inspiration on where to visit for my next trip to Japan.

Finally a 25 minute video to do justice to your quality video
A most remarkable and exotically beautiful country. And this documentary is artistically composed giving one a genuine sense of what puts Japan and Japanese culture at the core of ones memorable experiences. Thank you
I really like this format (longer). As usual, keep up the good work!
Everything looks beautiful & peaceful, even the rice in the bowl! It has incredible texture and looks so fresh!

あいかわらず、Marstonさんの映像と編集がすてきです～ﾂ！！！
Was in Kyushu in February just before the lockdown. Really enjoyed Beppu and the Kurokawa Mountain range. The landscape is simply stunning
I just LOVE Japan and this video reaffirms why!
This was a lovely adventure thank you!! Also really enjoyed the long video and really missed Sam!🌸😊
Love this place. Spent three years.
Very great video. Could never go there with the script. I will be lost.
Really really great and the long new format is awesome.
I love Kyushu. My favorite island in Japan
Beautiful side of Kyusu I've never experienced..with a good looking guide showing the way 🙃
Wonderful! I’ve been to Kyushu on two different holidays but aside from a Kumamoto haven’t been to any of the places in this video. We did have a sand onsen in Ibusuki though. One of my favourite places in Kyushu would be Kashima where the highlight was visiting the Yutoku Inari Shrine. Thankyou again for the amazing video.

Excellent footage and editing, thanks a lot! Continue the good work please
At kurokawa onsen, there is the onsen pass that you can get in 5 onsen in town. Lovely tiny town.
What I love about your videos: great sound! Can't wait to your next trips.
Very nice! Another beautiful spot in the area to discover is Oka Castle, Taketa.
Ooooh. A long one!
Thanks for another fantastic video! We'll be in both Beppu and Yufuin in our upcoming trip. Too bad we don't have time to fit Kumamoto in as well... but it just gives us reasons to come back again.
We hope you will have a great trip!
I went to all these places in April 2019 but by bus and by train. I wish I did a road trip now... Thanks for the video and for the memories
Beppu is the supper best place for onsen or hot spring lovers... i live in Beppu so love it
absolutely awesome trip of Kyushu, I was thinking of doing this via bus as mentioned in the website.
Your videos is absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed the whole clip with your clear, precise and stunning scenes along your route. You actually missed driving to Takachiho Gorge which is not far from Mt. Aso or Kumamoto.
The food served is heaven on earth. Thank you so much.
Awesome...relaxing and beautiful and well done. Thanks for sharing your beautiful video.
Absolutely enjoyed this video. Definitely an area of Japan I am keen to explore in the future. Kyushu looks breathtaking!
Awesome video! I did this drive a couple years ago. Absolutely beautiful.
The crater of mount Aso it’s a highlight, it’s amazing and strange looking like an ancient prehistoric sight, you were so close, hopefully you’ll be back.
G'day Sam. Thanks so much -great narration, music, filming and music. Such a lively interesting part of Japan. Am returning to Kyushu for the 5th visit b4 Xmas and will follow you guide.

Hello, Simply one of the great videos about Kyushu. Just wanted to know, what was the month/season you visited Kyushu in..?
As I'm also planning a roadtrip across Japan in either Autumn of 2025 or Spring of 2026.
i think he mentioned something about just before summer or after spring.
This video is so underrated！I always want to have a roadtrip just like this when I visit Japan and the way you plan it is just perfect！the video is beautiful and well explained too！
This place was actually the inspiration for Pokémon’s Hoenn Region.
I grew up in Fukuoka. I’ve been to many of the places shown in this vid multiple times. I feel so nostalgic😭❤️
great landscapes
A nice video that has me wanting to visit some of those places too. I've been to Kurokawa Onsen, which is an absolutely delightful town full of different Onsen experiences & ever so relaxing. So it was lovely seeing it again.
Have just subscribed ...Its Excellent... Wonderful job... You have made us feel to visit the place soon.
..
Thank you for subscribing! We hope you'll enjoy the content on the channel!

P: S: I'm glad that Chaly is fine. I saw this video =D
My first time to see your video here on youtube, but I should say it's really impressive.
Japan never fails to surprise me! Hire me, Japan Guide!
think live there can be long life, good air, peace, less people , etc your vedio is superb with drone to see the whole area! makes me want to go visit Japan ! Thanks for sharing !
I’ve been to those places using my japan rail pass, but I guess driving is more interesting cause you can stop and go when ever you feel. Ohhhh I miss Japan so much
Another fantastic video! I'm jealous ( in a good way 😉 )
Greetings from London.
A terrific video. Thank you!
Love your videos.
excellent video, making it hard to decide what parts of japan to travel through on my next visit yeah , so many places yet to experience ;)
Thank you very much for your nice comment. Indeed, there are so many different places to experience, it makes it difficult to choose!
Love these type of videos.
Thank you!
Wow this is truly breath taking!!
good reporting...Kyushu lovely Kyushu...
Nice VDO , thanks for showing , with love from Bangkok
I haven't explored that area yet. Thanks for sharing this amazing video. So inspiring!
Amazing to see the natural hot spring cook the egg and penetrating through to change the boil eggs color the same brown color as the shell .
Beautiful I look forward to going japan someday.
A big warm hag! めっちゃいい喩え！笑
Visited these cities last year...incredible
Hope to go back one day when these travel restrictions are lifted
thanks for sharing this beautiful scenery of Japan. Keep safe always..
One of the best video thank u

Kyushu is a great west side area. good meals. Especially Ramen!
Great video! Definitely, a trip I want to do in the future!
Thank you for featuring our place.
Absolute fantastic video, thank you. Hopefully can come here covered in tattoos. It will be my second Japan trip!
Amazing! Sometime, I will definitely go to those places = )
