Kumamoto Prefecture

Deze pas is de investering meer dan waard. Het dekt ook de rit naar hogesnelheidstreinen op gereserveerde of niet-gereserveerde zitplaatsen. Het kan u naar verschillende prefecturen in Japan brengen die tot 2 uur met de trein zijn. Dit kan u naar beroemde bezienswaardigheden in Beppu, Yufuin, Nagasaki en Kumamoto brengen.

Eenvoudige boeking via Klook. Super eenvoudige inwisseling op de luchthaven. Stoelreservering: Geen probleem bij de automaat. Maar niet altijd nodig, soms reden we gewoon mee in de niet-gereserveerde wagon. Medewerkers altijd erg vriendelijk. We zijn hiermee naar Kyoto, Osaka, Nara en Hiroshima geweest. Alles is perfect verlopen.

De Kyushu Sunq Pass voor 2 dagen is zeer waardevol en kan worden gebruikt voor busreizen. Hij dekt heel Noord-Kyushu. Activering gebeurt door het invoeren van een e-mailadres, waarna er een wachtwoord per e-mail wordt verzonden. Dit wachtwoord wordt gebruikt om een code te activeren, wat het begin van het gebruik markeert. Vervolgens kan de pas worden gebruikt om busreizen naar verschillende steden te boeken.

Ik heb deze pas gebruikt om naar Kurume en Kokura te reizen. Shimonoseki had ik al twee keer eerder bezocht, dus die heb ik deze keer overgeslagen. Kurume stond eigenlijk niet op de planning, maar er kwam toevallig een trein aan, dus ik ben gewoon op P's reis in de trein gestapt en heb gezocht naar een grote Boeddha die ik kon bewonderen. Ter info: vanaf station Kurume kun je lijn 31 of 35 nemen (310 yen) en dan is het 5-10 minuten lopen. De volgende dag ben ik naar Kokura gegaan, heb ik burdock-udon gegeten en ben ik gaan winkelen bij 2nd Street ㅋㅋ Ik denk dat Fukuoka te duur is voor mij, Kokura heeft veel goedkopere merken. Vooral Niko and… is mooi en vintage is goedkoop, dus ik heb een goede deal gesloten. Als je je niet thuis voelt in Fukuoka, kun je in Kokura van alles en nog wat winkelen ㅋㅋ. Als je met de trein reist, komen ze je ticket controleren, dus je moet het via internet laten zien. In de Sonic-trein zijn de wagons 4-7 vrije zitplaatsen...

Our driver, Ms. Feng, who accompanied us, is very familiar with various attractions in Kyushu. Although we only visited the Moji Port and Kokura Castle area, she generously shared information about Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Aso, and other places. Moreover, she had a great grasp of time and was very familiar with the road conditions, making it a wonderful experience.

We traveled from Fukuoka to Kumamoto via the Shinkansen and stayed at The Blossom Hotel. First of all, the accessibility was excellent. Floors 1-8 housed Amu Plaza, and floors 9-12 were the hotel itself. Taking the elevator to the 6th floor, we found a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, McDonald's, and plenty of restaurants. Right next to the first-floor entrance was a Family Mart that was open until 11 p.m., and there were Yoshinoya, Mos Burger, and a variety of other food options. There were also plenty of yakitori restaurants open until around 11 p.m. in the Kumamoto Station shopping mall, and the tsukune (tareh) we had at Birdman, located behind Kumamoto Station, was the best. The tareh sauce was incredibly delicious. After wrapping up all our travels, we enjoyed a relaxing bath in the hotel's large public bath, and the Total Therapy on the 2nd floor of Amu Plaza even had a massage, which was perfect. The beds were comfortable, and the hotel was very clean. Breakfast is average, so I recommend trying the eel rice bowl or various bento boxes sold at the Kumamoto Station Shopping Mall. I'd definitely return.

This hotel has parking for self-driving guests. They have a partnership with a parking garage where entry is ¥1300 per day, payable directly to the garage staff! The 12th-floor public bath facilities are very complete, with facial cleansers provided. Remember to bring a towel to the public bath. The outdoor bath can be a little cold, so I chose to soak in the indoor bath! It's very suitable for families! It's also not far from Is Katsuretsutei, you can walk there!

Stayed at Sotetsu Grand Fresa Kumamoto for four nights and was very satisfied overall! The hotel's location is super convenient, within walking distance of the shopping streets in downtown Kumamoto. There are restaurants and convenience stores downstairs, making it easy to get around. It's also a short walk to Kumamoto Castle. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a simple and refreshing design. Although the space isn't large, the facilities are complete, and the bed is very comfortable, allowing you to get plenty of rest even after staying several nights. The bathroom has a typical Japanese design; small but complete, with a bathtub and a washlet, and the water pressure is also sufficient. Although the breakfast isn't particularly lavish, it features Kumamoto specialties such as Takana rice and pumpkin soup, as well as cute Kumamon packaging details, which makes you feel very considerate. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, conveniently located hotel with Kumamoto characteristics and a high cost-performance ratio, highly recommended for tourists or business travelers visiting Kumamoto!

Located right next to the streetcar line, with a shopping street and the new Sakuramachi Department Store nearby, the location is super convenient and highly recommended! The rooms are large, comfortable, spacious, clean, and quiet. Free drinks, ice pops, and a large public bath are amazing and so relaxing! The breakfast is carefully prepared. If 100 is a perfect score, I give it 120! I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kumamoto.
