Kyushu road trip: Mt. Aso & Kurokawa Onsen | Japan travel vlog

- Day 1 of our epic Kyushu road trip! From snowy Mt. Aso (Japan's most active volcano) to beautiful Kurokawa Onsen, this Japan travel vlog has a bit of everything!
Join us as we kick off our road trip adventure after renting a car in Fukuoka, ready to explore the scenic landscapes of Southern Japan. Along the way, we make pit stops at charming Japanese roadside spots, immersing ourselves in local culture and cuisine.
We have a snowy and somewhat chaotic adventure trying to get to the top of Mt. Aso, Japan's most active volcano, without proper winter tires or snow chains (whoops). After our mountain adventure, we refuel with a delicious lunch at a traditional Japanese railway café, savouring the flavours of authentic local Kyushu cuisine.
We then arrive at our home for the night, Kurokawa Onsen, a historic town renowned for its picturesque hot springs. Be sure to stick around for a complete tour of our Ryokan, Oku-no-yu, a traditional Japanese inn, where we indulge in the ultimate relaxation with visits to three different onsens.
But the highlight of our day? An amazing 12-course traditional Japanese fine dining experience known as "Kaiseki" where we try local delicacies like "Basashi" (raw horse).

Glad to see you all have been having fun in Japan. Have a safe drive.
Thank you!
Thanks, Ashley & Theo, another enjoyable Ja-vlog. Okunoyu does look amazing. It's 4⭐..., but I'd still love to check it out some time . 🐖💰😬😄
Seen the Aso caldera panoramic from the top of Kishima-dake _in spring_ , everything green, and it's _awesome_ , so yes, it's an amazing part of the country (especially if you happen to have an interest in geology and volcanoes, like _moi_ ) Would love to take one day that road you took to climb _out_ of the caldera, but _going in_ (the entrance from the west side on the train is quite spectacular) 🙏
ようこそ～九州へ！そして、わが街熊本、阿蘇・黒川温泉へ……楽しめましたか？
外国人観光客はいつも東京・大阪・京都・奈良・広島あたりまでしか観光されないので九州を旅してもらえるのはVery嬉しい限りです😊
クリス・レアのdriving home for chirstmasですね♬
Very nice soundtrack choice 👍
Thanks! 🎶

Yahoooo

Ashley wore the Yukata for the dead 😨😱
By accident! 👘
What's the name of the accommodation in Kurokawa?
O, got it oku no yu!
Beat me to it! it really was amazing, the footage doesn't do it justice. The next video we'll be uploading (day 2 of this trip) has more footage of it and Kurokawa Onsen town as well
@@wegoeast can't wait for it! Hope we can get some tips on booking of the ryokans. I've just checked that most ryokans are fully booked. Not sure if it's because my trip in Nov is still too faw away to book?
@@effex1781 that's a very good shout, I'll definitely include details on how to book in the next one 💡
More and more young people from Western societies and ASEAN countries will spend a few shining years of their youth in Japan.
いつも思うけど欧米の人って綺麗に食べきらないよね。食物や作り手に対する感謝が見受けられない。
