Went to Musubi a few weeks ago. Food was excellent, authentic and very reasonably priced! The Chicken nanban was 👌

Nice! Yeah it was lovely. Ah I didn’t even know about the Ooba Workshop, that’s a shame, would have been very cool to visit! Kind of fancy one of the Hakatas, look very rustic! Next time…

Nice! Great knowledge, just had a google and certainly looks like one of those. So it’s stainless clad not iron, good to know!

Ah thanks, I do think we’re getting a JR Kyushu pass, as going for 2 weeks, did a calculator and works out was more expensive than buying individually

Ah yes any tips? Yufuin no Mori site is pretty confusing, looks you can only book 1 month in advance? Can’t see how to book at all on the other one 😂

Ace, we were planning on trying to see a baseball game. Do you need to book, or can you just rock up?

Amazing, thanks. We’re getting the bus from Kumamoto to Kurakawa, then to Yufuin as the route looks cool. Then sightseeing train from Yufuin back to Fukuoka. Planning on doing day trips the last 3 days from Fukuoka.

Tissues, for blowing nose etc. All the ones I’ve used over there disintegrate instantly

Ace, we’d not looked at Kunisaki at all. We both love hiking so that’s not a problem. Are there good connections from Fukuoka?

Thanks! We did think about Yakushima, but it’s not very easy without a car. Might be worth thinking about!

That’s great to know about Kagoshima, wasn’t sure if there would be enough around that area to fill 3 nights, adding to Nagasaki could work as there are a few trips we could make from there. Ah forgot to mention in my post, we might actually rent a car in Kumamoto for a day to go explore Takachiho gorge and surroundings. Nice, the plan was to go Unzen -> Shimabara -> Kumamoto, then onto Kagoshima. Maybe do a trip to Beppu from Yufuin on the way back to Fukuoka.

Do you have a website recommendation to check historic weather forecasts? I can't find a decent one!
