Why self drive in Kyushu?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kyushu Island is located at the southern Island of Japan, about the size of Taiwan. \u00a0It is one of the best places to do self-drive in Japan. \u00a0Driving in Kyushu Island is similar to driving in Australia, the roads are quite spacious and not many cars. \u00a0If you are the first time and don&#8217;t know where to start, you can try out Kyushu Japan. \u00a0In total there are 7 Prefectures in Kyushu, you should be able to cover within a week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Who should do self Drive?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have a pax of 4 and above or have young children and grandparents, it is wise to rent a car and drive around freely. \u00a0It is harder to do free and easy with young and old in the family, I can&#8217;t imagine how you going to bring all the luggage from the Japan train station platform, some do not have the elevator, only stairs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Cheaper Cost if you have pax of 4 and above!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Self Drive is cheaper than going with the big group of a tour. \u00a0Check out the price at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tkqlhce.com\/click-8265482-13916289\"><strong>rentalcars.com<\/strong> <\/a>. \u00a0It depends on what kind of car you are renting. \u00a0A normal 5 seater Mazda 3 sedan cost less than USD 70 per day. \u00a0There are cheaper or more expensive car depends on your needs and budget. \u00a0Taxi cost a bomb and train and subway and buses are not cheap in Japan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Flexibility &amp; A<\/strong><b>dventurous!<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>See the thing you want to see!<\/li>\n<li>Eat the thing you like to eat!<\/li>\n<li>Plan your own date of travel!<\/li>\n<li>Choose your own hotel depending on your budget and liking!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can stop anywhere and anytime you feel like. \u00a0Plan your own routes.\u00a0You won&#8217;t be dragged to shop if shopping is not your thing. \u00a0If you are on a package tour, you have no choice but to follow and spend hours in the shopping area. \u00a0You can try out any food in any restaurant at any time if you have the flexibility of your own car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Go to places that local people usually go!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You get to shop at the shopping center or supermarkets which local people go, prices are normally cheaper and more variety and more authentic stuff you get. \u00a0We stop daily to get our stuff at the supermarket, be it snacks, drinks, food &amp; souvenirs!<\/p>\n<p>Some other hidden gem which tour coaches can&#8217;t reach you can always do it with self-drive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kyushu.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6236\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kyushu-1024x884.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kyushu.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kyushu-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kyushu-768x663.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wordpress\/2017\/05\/kyushu-1-oita-prefecture-a-quiet-getaway-in-yufuin%E6%B9%AF%E5%B8%83%E9%99%A2\/\"><strong>Kyushu 1 &#8211; Oita Prefecture &#8211; A quiet getaway in Yufuin\/\u6e6f\u5e03\u9662<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5684\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_9893-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_9893.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_9893-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_9893-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fukuoka Airport to Hakata City<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fukuoka to Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?cid=1769828&amp;pcs=1&amp;hid=287292\">Enokiya Ryokan<\/a> in Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Things to do in Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Donguri nomori in Yufuin &#8211; Totoro &amp; friends<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Japanese Post Box<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Type of Umbrella Shops in Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Japanese Chopsticks &amp; Lunch Box Shop in Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Old Train in the park in Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dinner in Yufuin<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wordpress\/2017\/05\/self-drive-in-kyushu-2-sanrio-hormony-land-and-hells-of-beppu\/\"><strong>Self Drive in Kyushu 2: Sanrio Harmony Land and Hells of Beppu &#8211; Summary<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5734\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20131218_083034-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20131218_083034.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20131218_083034-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20131218_083034-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.klook.com\/activity\/2610-sanrio-puroland-harmonyland-fukuoka\/?aid=ff5f739a8f7b9cb2&amp;af_wid=1904\">Sanrio Hormonyland<\/a> in Oita<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Beppu Hell<\/strong>\n<ol>\n<li>Kamado Jigoku \/ Cooking Pot Devil Hell &#8211; \u00a0Devil standing on top of the pond<\/li>\n<li>Umi Jigoku\/ Sea Hell &#8211; biggest and color is cobalt blue, most recommended!<\/li>\n<li>Chinoike Jigoku\/\u00a0Blood Pond Hell \u00a0&#8211; Red color pond<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steam your own dinner at\u00a0Jigokumushikobo &#8211; must Try!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?cid=1769828&amp;pcs=1&amp;hid=288866\">Onsenkaku Ryokan<\/a> Inn<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"\/wordpress\/2017\/05\/japan-self-drive-in-kyushu-3-miyazaki-prefecture-is-miyazaki-city-not-easter-island-is-winter-but-feel-like-tropical-atmosphere-in-miyazaki\/\"><strong>Self Drive in Kyushu 3: Is Miyazaki City not Easter Island!
