Kyushu<\/a> is the region in Japan where autumn foliage appears the latest, usually around mid-November. During the major holiday in mid-November 2011, we chose to embark on a self-drive trip to Kyushu. Kyushu is not small, and it’s impossible to explore the entire region in just eight to ten days, so we focused on the northern part of Kyushu, starting our self-drive journey from Fukuoka. The itinerary included Fukuoka, Beppu, Yufuin, Mount Aso, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n\"Kyushu<\/picture>\n

This North Kyushu self-drive trip lasted eight days, with Fukuoka as the entry and exit point. On the first day, we arrived in Fukuoka but didn\u2019t pick up the car immediately. Instead, we stayed in Fukuoka city for one night and picked up the car on the second day to begin a five-day self-drive adventure, visiting Mojiko, Beppu Onsen, Yufuin, Mount Aso, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki. On the sixth day, we returned to Fukuoka to return the car, spent the seventh day exploring Fukuoka city, and flew home on the eighth day.<\/p>\n
