Kyushu

When I arrived on November 1st, there was a new coconut tree swing activity, which was very chill. The whole day's itinerary was very comfortable. Getting off the bus to stroll on the beach and take pictures of the sea was even more convenient than taking a ride on my own. The connections between the classic routes were also very good. I also want to thank our guide, Ms. Mao, for her explanations throughout the trip and for helping us take beautiful photos at each stop. Highly recommended!

While others were queuing to buy tickets, there was a QR code scanning machine next to the entrance. You could scan the code to enter directly, and there was even a Chinese reminder to use the machine. When visiting the castle, I discovered that the end of October was a limited-time event for the Bamboo Lantern Festival. I was initially disappointed that I couldn't buy a ticket for both events, but in the afternoon, the weather was overcast and the wind was quite strong. Sure enough, it started to rain intermittently, so I didn't feel so disappointed. However, if you are planning to visit Kokura at the end of October, I suggest checking if it's the Bamboo Lantern Festival season and buying tickets for both events together.
