Suizenji Temple Jojuen Garden in summer and winter

#AugustDestinations2025 Suizenji Joju-en Garden, located in downtown Kumamoto, is an exquisite and tranquil Japanese garden. Featuring ponds, bridges, lawns, and neatly manicured trees, the garden offers a unique charm in each season: cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant maple leaves in autumn, and the refreshing beauty of withered trees in winter. I visited once in summer and once in winter. Although small, the garden boasts distinct layers of landscape, and the winding paths offer breathtaking views from various angles, creating captivating photos. Conveniently located, it's a perfect stopover during a half-day or short layover in Kumamoto City to experience the tranquil beauty of a Japanese garden.

Exploring Kyushu was an absolute blast—think next-level city vibes, nature escapes, and, yes, a must-try special disco massage experience you seriously can't miss! 🌙💆♀️ Here are the top spots to hit up for an epic Kyushu adventure: 1. Fukuoka - Late nights, vibrant streets, and some truly unique wellness stops. Definitely check out the special disco massage parlors (look for options around Nakasu area, Fukuoka), where you get post-party relaxation and actual disco beats—open late, just make sure to book ahead! 2. Beppu - Famous for hot springs and steamy onsen baths. The Hells of Beppu ('Jigoku Meguri'), open daily from 8:00–17:00, are wild volcanic phenomena you won’t see elsewhere. Address: Kannawa, Beppu-shi, Oita Prefecture. 3. Kumamoto - Marvel at Kumamoto Castle (open 9:00–17:00, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto-shi), and swing by Suizenji Garden for a peaceful walk and killer views. Getting Around: Use the Kyushu Rail Pass for unlimited train travel—it saves cash and time. Local city buses are simple with prepaid transit cards (get one at any major train station). Foodies Alert: Try Hakata ramen in Fukuoka (Ichiran, Tenjin area) and fresh seafood at Yanagibashi Rengo Market! For snacks, nab some yuzu kosho or spicy mentaiko. Money & Tips: Most places take credit cards, but grab some cash for small shops or massage parlors. Weather varies—pack layers (rain jacket for Beppu’s misty vibe is clutch!). Whether you’re after nightlife, nature, or quirky self-care, Kyushu totally delivers. #KyushuTrip #JapanTravel #FukuokaNights #OnsenLife #FoodieFinds
