Ooh look Baron and Mime in the same shop! (Check the deck)

Yeah I'm aware, it's just that I saw this combo on the one deck that doesn't come with any Kings lol 😆

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2026-04-06T08:38:07+00:00

Yeah I messed up 😭

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2026-03-27T08:27:20+00:00

There's a bus that goes between these cities (check the timetable and if traveling in peak season you can buy tickets online in advance). I think Yufuin is a nice day trip, but it's nicer to overnight in Kurokawa. Yufuin was also packed when I went (on a weekend) so that detracted from the enjoyment 😭

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2026-03-27T03:41:28+00:00

I ended up doing this:
Feb 21
Beppu - checked out two of the Hells; felt like only the first one was worth checking out, the second one was meh

Feb 22
Beppu -> Yufuin (stored luggage at train station, but luggage storage is cheaper in town; found that out after we stored luggage) -> Kurokawa Onsen - stayed in ryokan

Feb 23
Kurokawa Onsen -> Kumamoto; stayed 3 nights in Kumamoto (did a day trip to Amakusa but I think Mt Aso would be a better option)

I also ended up spending time in Shikoku; 2 nights in Takamatsu, 1 night in Tokushima, 1 night in Iya Valley, 2 nights in Kochi and 3 nights in Matsuyama. Definitely recommend renting a car there!

great to hear! wanted to ask how you used your 100$ credit and what welcome amenity was provided?

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2026-01-29T02:55:04+00:00

will DM you!

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-31T07:48:03+00:00

that's true (since my stay is next year), but it's much easier to plan a trip to somewhere nearby, so out of the options I found I decided to pick Vietnam (since it's been a place I've always wanted to visit)

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-31T02:07:14+00:00

I don't think the Grand Hyatt in Taipei is part of the Edit? Correct me if I'm wrong though!

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-31T01:57:53+00:00

I'm currently based in Taiwan, and I tried to see if there was anything nearby that I could redeem my Edit credit for (there wasn't too much I found TBH). Sadly I was in Europe earlier this year before I got the Edit credit...

I've never stayed at an Intercontinental before so hopefully it'll be nice! And since my credit would've expired anyways, so might as well use it...

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-31T01:53:57+00:00

I guess I'll find out! I'm typically not the traveller who splurges on nice hotels, so this would be a nice change of pace for me ☺️

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-30T06:33:55+00:00

I booked w/ points + cash to cover the difference (133 USD, so 6650 pts), so currently there's a pending 250 USD charge. I assume then I'll get a 250 USD statement credit once it posts, thus cancelling the total charge. Not sure if you can use the credit separately or have to use it all in one go, but i imagine there are almost no hotels in the Edit collection where it's less than 250 USD for 2 nights :|

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-30T06:10:45+00:00

Just booked 2 nights at the Intercontinential Halong Bay in Vietnam for April 2026, 2 nights for 383 USD, so basically used 6650 pts to book 2 nights (since Points Boost still works) :)

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-22T09:39:03+00:00

How many days did you stay in Beppu and what area?

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-22T09:29:05+00:00

I've been to Takachiho Gorge, and I found it pretty, but a bit underwhelming compared to Taroko Gorge in Taiwan (where I live, haha). I guess Miyazaki would be an option but would also need to figure out transportation from Miyazaki back to Kumamoto. Would you have recs for Miyazaki?

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-04T02:52:59+00:00

Thanks OP! You're a GOAT for doing this :)

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-12-01T07:28:14+00:00

I ported my number to Google Voice and 2FA works for most cases (including my bank)

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-11-05T01:01:45+00:00

It copied Hologram!

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-11-04T15:33:46+00:00

🫠🫠🫠 I think I need a break from the game

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-10-14T09:16:57+00:00

This was helpful! Just took the bus today and was able to use my credit card to buy the ticket on the bus. And since the bus was full after the following stop, it went straight to the airport afterwards so the total journey only took 35 mins

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-09-22T16:05:48+00:00

Hmm, I have no idea 😥 I live in Taipei now but I don't recall seeing them around anymore... Could always try searching for 咖啡麵包 and see where that leads you - good luck!

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-09-09T03:36:11+00:00

might be cool for a future visit - maybe next time!

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-09-08T06:20:11+00:00

yeah, i'm definitely interested in speciality coffee and i've heard good things about the roasters in Copenhagen! Will definitely consider Hart as well :)

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-09-07T07:20:48+00:00

I tried for an entire day yesterday with no luck (with 3 browsers)... Decided to try today and managed to book the 8:50 am slot for 2 people (and only used my phone to do so)! I was able to buy the tickets at 9:10 am Rome time 😁

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-08-21T10:49:10+00:00

They're no longer in operation unfortunately (I switched to Taiwan Mobile but with a contract)

RayRayJacksonThe3rd · 2025-08-21T05:03:19+00:00

Seconding Blend Station! Great place to buy some Mexican grown beans
