For this trip, we traveled to Kyushu for the second time and we think that there will definitely be a next time.
The reason we chose to come again is because we like the atmosphere and feel that it is easy to travel by ourselves. The atmosphere is not crowded, the cost is not too high compared to cities in other regions, and most importantly, it is safe for women traveling alone.
This trip focuses on viewing cherry blossoms. The travel plan is
