20↑ triple a battery | multifandom & multiship - 🥂&🏨 | en&jp | i draw occasionally!
went out for nuikatsu tea with friends and dropped by the book off popup store today! there was a retro game section where some of the carts had their previous owners names written on them 🤣 old school game sharing...

on our last day!
November 2, 2025 at 2:44 PM
surprisingly, lots of hazbin stuff in japan this year!
November 2, 2025 at 2:34 PM
doing weeb stuff now that we're in the big city
November 2, 2025 at 2:27 PM
bonus: spent a few days in yokohama and tokyo before our flight back home. we got a hotel room with a balcony and the moment i stepped out, i heard screams 😂 (there was an amusement ride nearby)
November 2, 2025 at 2:21 PM
and that's the end of 11 days in kyushu! i had a wonderful time exploring the region and definitely hope to visit again in future (avoiding the hot weather next time...!)
November 2, 2025 at 2:16 PM
they may be known for their illumination, but i think i might prefer seeing huis ten bosch in the morning 😌

"halloween" fireworks turned out to be fireworks with alastor's insane playing in the background 😂😂 i was in disbelief at the intro (it took me a moment to process LOL)😂
November 2, 2025 at 1:55 PM
moved to hotel amsterdam in huis ten bosch for our last night in kyushu. we were staying inside the theme park, and there were going to be fireworks for halloween at night!

more of glover garden
November 2, 2025 at 1:42 PM
glover garden was about 5 minutes away from the port by cab. nagasaki is surprisingly compact and easy to get around!

we were lucky enough to visit gunkanjima (the waves have to be within a certain height for disembarkation), an abandoned island in japan which used to be a coal mine right into the 70s. it was also a really hot day... and there was no shelter on the island 😂

kyushu trip posting part 3: day 9, nagasaki
November 2, 2025 at 1:08 PM
breakfast at the ryokan (unzen fukudaya)
November 1, 2025 at 3:33 PM
the view of the mountains from our room, at sunset and in the morning .
November 1, 2025 at 3:24 PM
all the talk about yufuin and beppu made us nostalgic for boueibu, and so we put on the new season (boueibu haikara) to watch at the ryokan... and found out that the main character is actually named UNZEN lmao (it was meant to be)

and there were so many cats! some of them were feral and wary of people, but one came up to me for pets so i think they must be well looked after by the local community 🥹

i'm glad we picked unzen as our onsen destination this trip despite there being better known places in the same region (beppu, yufuin, kurokawa, kirishima etc). it was so much quieter!
November 1, 2025 at 2:59 PM
day 8: back to kumamoto port for the ferry to shimabara again, but this time our destination is Unzen!
November 1, 2025 at 2:51 PM
day 7: mount aso in kumamoto! it's an active volcano and restrictions change depending on the danger level of the day.
November 1, 2025 at 2:35 PM
i learned later that it was an endangered species of bird (the red cr stands for critically endangered and vu is for vulnerable species) 😭
November 1, 2025 at 2:14 PM
also forgive the zoomed in and shaky video but i spotted this adorable long-tailed birb playing/drinking at the waterfall 🥹 and...
November 1, 2025 at 2:10 PM
only got a tiny bit splashed on!
November 1, 2025 at 2:04 PM
the trip to takachiho from kumamoto is nearly 3 hours by bus (one way), but getting to row a boat past a waterfall there made all the travelling time worth it 😭✨ there's something beautiful and magical about waterfalls and i don't think i'll ever get any closer to one!
November 1, 2025 at 2:00 PM
kyushu trip posting part ii!

day 6! takachiho in the miyazaki prefecture. Not many pics of the Amanoiwato shrine because we had to go through some kind of purification ritual to see the cave and photography wasn't allowed (it was all rather serious!)
