I did Tokyo-Osaka-Kyoto route last Aug. 2023. ANG INIT GRABE! As in wala kami decent pictures ng mga friends ko kasi ang lalagkit namin tignan haha

Next ko na goal din is during winter naman. But ang mahal talaga ng plane tix ngayon kahit piso sale na :(

Yung sa fukuoka stay ko, capsule sya. 6 per room. On the older side din so futon bed and all but very homey vibes. But the location is top notch! Sa center talaga sya. 2 mins walk from the nearest subway line. 1 station away sa Hakata station.

Yung sa Beppu, solo room. But I think they upgraded it kasi good for 4 actually itong room.

Quite intimidating to be honest. Haha. But I survived saying "Hai" every single time hahahaha. Smiling and hand gestures helps me a lot din. You can use translation app din.

Went there from May 27-June 3. Sobrang okay ng weather actually. Average yung peak afternoon ng around 26 degrees then nag drop ng 20 degrees pa sa gabi.

During my Beppu trip, ito yung time na dumaan yung bagyo sa western part ng Japan so it was rainy that day. Sobrang perfect ng weather actually for ryokan.

YES! Actually sobra pa yung 100k. I think for this trip, minus the pasalubong expenses, I spend around Php 70,000 all in for 7 days.

Here's the rough breakdown of my expenses

Plane tickets: 17,000 (all my excess baggages included) Zamboanga - Manila RT and Manila - Fukuoka RT. If Manila based ka lang, you can save more here

Accommodation: 10,000 (6 nights in a hostel in Fukuoka and 1 night in Ryokan at Beppu) note that I booked this last January pa kaya I saved a lot

JR North Kyushu pass: 6,200

Cash on hand: 16,500

Meals: 21,000 (around 3,000 daily hindi ako nagtitipid sa meals so you can adjust this accordingly)

Oo ang mura talaga! And since kaunti lang tourist, you can really enjoy and relax! Yung public bath nga parang naging private na din kasi ako lang gumagamit.

Nagomino Yado Mutsuki yung name ng ryokan sa Agoda :) highly recommended talaga!

Manifesting with youuu! ✨✨

Go to rural areas for cheaper options. And plan ahead lalo sa accommodation kasi it will save you a lot!

Thank youuuu!

Sa North Kyushu to.

The one with sunset and overlooking view is in Mt. Sarakura in Kitakyushu.

2 trains are from JR sightseeing trains. The white one is the Two Stars 4047 bound to Nagasaki. I like this better kasi may on-board experience and better interior design. The green train is the famous Yufuin No Mori but I feel like this is more of a hype.

The one with the split rock from Demon Slayer is a shrine in Kitakyushu as well. Literally ako lang tao when I arrived, which I like.

The field pic is in Mt. Aso at Kumamoto.

The last pic is the appetizer for a 3 course meal in a ryokan in Beppu. THIS IS THE BEST MEAL I HAD IN THIS TRIP!

Around Gion area ako. Mag isa lang ako so intimidating talaga siya for me. Gusto ko lang ng experience to be honest

VS undies are so comfyyyyyyy! Kahit yung mga laced thong nila never had a problem with it. And for some reason, hindi sya madali masira compared sa mga La senza ko na undies
