All About Japan's Shikoku, Kyushu & Okinawa regions

Kittie · Post time 1-7-2015 09:33 PM

Benang nih adalah untuk kawasan2 di bahagian paling selatan Jepun iaitu Shikoku, Kyushu & Okinawa.

Shikoku adalah personal fav kite, ada sentimental value untuk kite di kepulauan kecik ni. Kagawa & Ehime adalah dua prefecture yg pemes kat Shikoku ni.

Secara betulnya, secara politik, Okinawa pun termasuk dalam Kyushu...

Tapi org Jepun suka asingkan Okinawa, derang anggap Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Oita, Kagoshima & Miyazaki jer yg dlm Kyushu.

Akhirnya, terpaksa la Okinawa ala2 melukut di tepi gantang sikit kat sana. Lebih2 lagi sbb Okinawa adalah home kpd US base kat Jepun.

Dalam byk2 pulau kat Okinawa, yg jadi tumpuan adalah kat bahagian pulau utama dia...

International airport yg paling dekat dgn Shikoku, Kyushu & Okinawa ni adalah Kansai airport.

Untuk Okinawa, sbb mmg kena pegi naik ketebang, so tak kisah sebenarnya nak dari Osaka atau Tokyo, ikut citarasa & itinerari masing2.
Ada byk flight dari Tokyo ke Naha (Okinawa) mcm JAL, ANA, Skymark, Vanilla Air & Jetstar.
Dari Osaka ke Naha lak ada JAL, ANA, Solaseed, Skymark, Peach & Jetstar.

Option lain nak masuk Kyushu adalah melalui udara, di mana kadang2 tiket lebih murah berbanding pass, dlm 8k return utk Osaka-Fukuoka. Kalau mcm takmo menyinggah between Osaka & Fukuoka, leh naik flight direct. Tp klu mcm nk jln2 menyinggah, better beli pass, leh turun naik shinkansen sesuka hati.

Manakala untuk Osaka-Fukuoka ada JAL, ANA, Peach & Jetstar.

Battleship Island Becomes a UNESCO World Heritage Site

It’s official! Sometime after 10pm JST on 5th July, the UNESCO committee decided that the 23 ‘Sites of the Meiji Industrial Revolution’ submitted by Japan for registration as a World Cultural Heritage Site were worthy of inclusion.

The list includes ‘Battleship Island’, otherwise known as ‘Gunkanjima’, a particularly well-known site popularised by the recent James Bond movie Skyfall.

Kat luar Gunkanjima mmg pemes sbb Skyfall. Selain tuh, ia digunakan gak utk music video band yg pegang rekod jualan terlaris kat Asia (over 80 mil copies sold), B'z.

Guitarist dia pernah menang Grammy Award, which is sgt2 susah utk org Asia tembus.

Selain tuh, utk para peminat manga & anime yg giler babas pemes, Attack on Titan, live-action muvi dia gak shooting kat sini.

kittie, katelah aku ade one week to spend kat Kyushu ( minus Okinawa) , ko rase cemane route yg pali ...

Leh pegi Fukuoka, Oita (+ Beppu & Yufuin), Kumamoto, Nagasaki (+ Huis Ten Bosch, optional, kalau ada duit lebih).

So, route dia...

Hakata - Oita (Limited Express Sonic)
Oita - Kumamoto (Limited Express Kyushu Odan Tokkyu)
Kumamoto - Shin-Tosu (Shinkansen Sakura)
Shin-Tosu - Nagasaki (Limited Express Kamome)
Nagasaki - Hakata (Limited Express Kamome)

Cukup satu circle. Shin-Tosu tuh tempat transit dr Kumamoto ke Nagasaki jer.

Leh beli Northern Kyushu Area Pass yg 5 hari (10,000yen).

*Northern Kyushu Area Pass takleh guna utk Sanyo Shinkansen, iaitu bahagian antara Hakata & Kokura. Tp Sanyo Shinkansen mmg tak terlibat langsung utk route kite cadangkan kat atas. Route nih utk org nak balik dr Fukuoka ke belah tanah besar (i.e. Osaka), sbb ada pass lain utk sambung (Setouchi Area Pass & Sanyo-San'in Area Pass).

Tp sbb tempat2 yg boleh dilawati di negeri2 kat atas ni byk, utk tempat2 spesifik leh pilih2 ikut citarasa sendiri.
