I traveled from Kumamoto to Kagoshima on the Kyushu Sanko Bus “Kirishima”
The bus has comfortable 2×2 seating and a restroom at the rear 🚾
Originally used as the “Aso☆Kuma-go,” the two-tone seats create a classy and elegant atmosphere inside 💺

Taking the "Kirishima" for a comfortable journey from Kumamoto to Kagoshima 🚍
Their signature "Sunrise Color" livery—with its flowing purple, orange, and red lines—is so eye-catching ✨
Though the Kumamon illustrations are gone now 🐻

The Superior Twin comes with a standard unit bath🛁
It feels a little retro, but the bathtub is spacious and great for relaxing. I also loved that they provide Antipodes amenities 🧴
Naturally, the toilet includes a washlet 🚽

For my stop in Kumamoto, I stayed at the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kumamoto New Sky 🏨
The sofa by the window is perfect for watching the city 🛋️
While the TV and desk area feel a bit aged, they are very functional. The closet was a nice surprise ✨
Beyond the famous "Sonic" train lies an underrated way to see Kyushu: the "Toyonokuni" Highway Bus. 🚌⛰️
The chic interior with wood-style flooring felt like a moving lounge. The panoramic views from the Oita Expressway are absolutely breathtaking📷

Checking in at ANA Crowne Plaza Kumamoto New Sky.
It has a classic feel but features a very stylish exterior that fits the Kumamoto cityscape perfectly.
The panoramic views from the upper floors are a must-see 📷✨
My latest journey: 9 hours on the "Pegasus" luxury night bus in Japan.
Most people take the Shinkansen, but choosing this designer bus feels like a secret travel hack. From the vibrant mosaic seats to the midnight views of the Kanmon Strait, every minute was an adventure. 🌙

The restroom is located in the middle of the bus on the driver’s side 🚾
I personally prefer this location compared to having it at the very back.
It was clean, and having a restroom onboard always gives peace of mind 💡

The seat pitch is standard for a 3-row independent layout,but the combination of a footrest and leg rest makes it quite comfortable.
Each seat also comes with a power outlet 🔌
and a small table, which is always nice to have 👍

It’s a must-visit spot when traveling to Miyazaki! 📷

When in Miyazaki, Chicken Nanban is a must! I visited "Masquerade," a popular local spot.
The daily lunch was amazing, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were so kind.

Farewell to a Legend 🗾✨
The Japanese 500 Series Shinkansen, famous for its fighter jet-like nose, will retire in 2027. I took a final deep-dive into its unique design and the spacious seats in Car No.5.
