I'm planning our itinerary in early November and am having a hard time deciding what to do with the Kyushu leg of our trip. This is our second time visiting Japan (last one was in 2017).
– Is it worth staying two nights and two days in Fukuoka just to see Fukuoka?
– Or should we leave one day earlier and rent the car earlier to see more of Kyushu?
– Is Kumamoto worth stopping for a couple of hours on our trip?
– Anything else we should move around or add/remove?
Unfortunately we can't really add more days but do like to have pretty packed days and with lots to see.
| Day | Sleep at | Do |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Fukuoka | Arrive in Fukuoka at 8 AM by ferry from Busan. Sightsee around Fukuoka. |
| Day 2 | Fukuoka | Sightsee around Fukuoka? |
| Day 3 | Aso | RENT CAR > Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine > Tea plantation > Yanagawa? > Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine |
| Day 4 | Oita | Mount Aso > Kokonoe Yume Otsuribashi > Lake Kinrin > Beppu/Oita? |
| Day 5 | Leave early by Saganoseki Ferry to Shikoku |
