Ein vergessener Luxuszug, der nie fuhr – bis jetzt. Der Aru Ressha gleitet wieder durch Kyushu, als wäre die Zeit stehen geblieben. Gold, Dessert, Geschichte.

Elevator Selfie. Heading out to hit the gown in Hakata. I really wish tourists would head to Fukuoka for something a little different than Tokyo, which is just another major
world city. Give Kyushu a chance! #japantravel #kyushutravel #remarkabletravels #fukuoka

Saw this awesome road stop on the same trip. Had a bunch of Shochu (Kyushu’s preferred hard liquor made from sweet potato) barrels stored in this long tunnel, a remnant of WWII if I’m not mistaken. #myphotos #japan #kyushutravel
