Going to outlets is definitely a must-visit place every time you visit Japan. On this trip to Kyushu, we went to Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets in Saga Prefecture. From Fukuoka, you can take JR🚅 to "Torisu Station" and change to a bus🚍, which takes about 45 minutes. This time we drive 🚘 on a weekday, there are not many people, there is enough parking space. Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets are built with exotic Spanish colonial-style architecture. "Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets" has 170 more stores, Japanese, European and American brands have everything, you are sure to buy it. Tired of walking, hungry, and can go to the large foodcourt to sit, eat. #Japan-Korea City Attraction "Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets"

Roadside Market is a food complex that suddenly opened in Saga in September. The concept is to combine the best of roadside stations, markets, and alleys, and you can visit as many of the six restaurants in the building as you like. I personally got so addicted to it that I went twice in September 😂 I went to all of them, and each one has its own merits. Below is a brief introduction to the restaurants ↓ ———————————————-——————————-—— ● "Jinbei" → A restaurant specializing in fresh tuna Recommended: Tuna with truffles ● "Sansuke" → An eel and beef rice restaurant Recommended Me: Grilled eel skewer with cheese ● "Kojima Shoten" → Yakitori restaurant Recommended: Beef skirt steak with spicy miso ● "Okinawa Kenmin Shokudo" → Okinawan cuisine Recommended: Homemade tamagoyaki ● "izumiya" → Liquor store Recommended: Read the instructions and choose what you like ● "Kougetsu" → Raw gyoza specialty store Recommended: Iron pot gyoza ———————————-———————————-———— Personally, it was great to buy a bottle at izumiya and go around drinking at each shop! You can also enjoy it leisurely on the terrace during the day! *All shops offer takeout, so it's also recommended for drinking at home It's really fun no matter how many times you go, so if you come to Tosu, please go! #retro cityscape #summer trip #gourmet trip #trip with kids

Tosu Station This JR Kyushu station is located in Kyomachi, Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, and is one of the oldest stations in Kyushu, having existed since the opening of the first Kyushu Railway. It is the only station in Kyushu where the Nagasaki Main Line and the Kagoshima Main Line intersect, so you can see express trains and trains on both the Nagasaki Main Line and the Kagoshima Main Line. The JNR No. 268 steam locomotive and Ekimae Real Estate Stadium (home of J1 Sagan Tosu) can be seen from the station platform. #supporttourism #Tosu #Saga #KashiwaUdon #supporttourism

A Northern Kyushu itinerary that lets you experience breathtaking natural landscapes, volcanic terrains, and soothing hot springs all in one trip! From Kuju Town in Oita to Minamiaso Village, then to Kirishima City and Tosu City, every stop is full of surprises, ensuring you'll want to keep your camera ready at all times! Here are some must-visit spots we highly recommend: Kusasenri Grassland, the majestic Mount Aso, Sakurajima, and the spiritual Kirishima Shrine. Whether it's sunny or rainy, Kyushu's natural beauty can be enjoyed in a relaxed manner. At night, soak in the hot springs at your hotel while gazing at the starry sky for a truly healing experience. 📍Kuju Town - Kuju Kogitei, Oita Initially thought this remote hotel might be inconvenient, but it turned out to offer a completely different relaxing atmosphere! Surrounded by snowy forests in winter, the dreamy starry sky at night, and private hot springs make it perfect for couples or families to enjoy a leisurely soak. The rooms range from modern to traditional Japanese styles, and the dining is exceptional. Dinner is served in semi-private booths, allowing you to quietly savor exquisite Japanese cuisine. The staff are incredibly friendly, and there's a shuttle bus to solve transportation issues. 📍Address: 255-30, Tano 📍Kirishima City - Kirishima Onsen Ryokan Traveler's Inn Nestled in the mountains, the views of Sakurajima volcano, small forests, and waterfalls from the windows make every morning feel refreshing. At night, you might spot wild deer while soaking in the hot springs or gaze at the stars while relaxing. It feels like stepping into a Japanese animation! The hotel also offers a selection of yukatas, vinyl records, and a library. The hot spring facilities are comprehensive, and some rooms even have open-air baths. The service is attentive, the staff are professional and speak Chinese, and the overall cleanliness and maintenance are excellent. 📍Address: 3865 Takachiho, Makizono-cho 📍Kirishima City - Kirishima Shrine A highly popular spot for making wishes in Kyushu! The ancient architecture and the photogenic red shrine are stunning—visit in the morning for fewer crowds. Bringing home an omamori (charm) always feels like carrying good luck with you. The shrine grounds are spacious, allowing you to leisurely explore the surrounding forest trails. 📍Address: 2608-5 Kirishimataguchi, Kirishima, Kagoshima 899-4201 ⏰ 08:00–17:00 📍Minamiaso Village - Kusasenri (Kusasenri-ga-hama) A must-visit grassland in Kyushu. On clear days, the endless green fields under blue skies and white clouds are incredibly healing, with horses leisurely roaming around. On cloudy or misty days, it feels like a fairyland, and every photo is a masterpiece! You can go horseback riding, stroll around, or have a picnic. Especially in summer, the vibrant green is absolutely dreamy. 📍Address: Japan 〒869-1505 Kumamoto, Aso, Kusasenri-ga-hama ⏰ Open all day 📍Aso City - Mount Aso Kyushu's most spectacular volcanic park, where you can witness the raw power of the Earth at the crater. You can choose to drive or take a mountain bus, but note that the volcano's activity may occasionally cause closures, so it's best to check the official website for the latest updates before heading out! The fresh mountain air and vast scenery are perfect for hiking, photography, and exploring the nearby rural villages. 📍Address: Takawara, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture 869-2223 ⏰ 3/20–10/31 08:30-18:00, November 08:30-17:30, December–March 09:00-17:00 📍Tosu City - Tosu Frespo Shopping Center If you need to restock or buy souvenirs, this large shopping center in Tosu is a great choice. There are plenty of snack options, and after shopping, you can replenish your travel supplies. Friends have mentioned a few unique coffee shops inside where you can relax before continuing your journey. ✨Travel Tips - Both Kuju Kogitei and Kirishima Onsen Ryokan Traveler's Inn offer shuttle buses (advance reservation required), but self-driving is more convenient. - Around Mount Aso and Kusasenri, you can drive or take JR/buses (check trip.com for the latest road conditions regarding volcanic activity). - Near Kirishima Shrine, walking or using local buses is recommended. During peak times, allocate extra time to explore at a leisurely pace. 🍽 Food Recommendations - Kuju Kogitei's dinner features a fusion of Western and Japanese cuisine, with fresh ingredients and local specialties. - Kirishima Onsen Ryokan's breakfast offers a taste of local ingredients (purple sweet potato ice cream, wild vegetable dishes) and is worth trying. - Around Aso, there are yakiniku restaurants serving Aso beef, perfect for meat lovers. 🌿 Official Tips 1. The wind and cold at Kusasenri and Mount Aso can be intense, so bring enough warm clothing, umbrellas, and sunglasses. 2. Many hotel hot springs require advance reservations for private baths, so confirm before your stay. 3. Kyushu's weather is unpredictable, but don't be discouraged by cloudy days—the misty natural scenery has its own unique charm!

Ange Coco Anto, a Japanese sweets shop in Tosu that's incredibly popular. There's a private, hideaway-like room at the back of the shop. After you order, the staff will bring your sweets to you. This private room costs about 300 yen, but it's highly recommended as you can relax without worrying about others! You can use it for dessert if it's available. The small room is also air-conditioned, making it comfortable even during the hot weather. ☺️ I ordered the cake set.

We took a well-deserved break at Starbucks in Tosu Premium Outlets after a full morning of shopping, and it hit the spot perfectly. After weaving through rows of outlet stores, stepping into Starbucks felt like walking into a little pocket of calm. The space was cozy and clean, and even though it was quite busy, we managed to find a nice corner to sit and rest our feet. I ordered a hot latte—nothing fancy, just comforting—and it gave me the exact boost I needed to carry on. The staff were polite and efficient, and everything came out quickly despite the queue. What I appreciated most was how this branch really felt like a retreat within the bustling outlet. You could see other shoppers doing the same—unwinding, recharging, and enjoying a few quiet moments before diving back into retail therapy. If you’re shopping at Tosu Premium Outlets, definitely make time to pop into this Starbucks. It’s the perfect little reset button during a busy day. #summervacay #StarbucksTosu #TosuPremiumOutlets #CoffeeBreakJapan #ShopTillYouSip #SagaCafeStop #KyushuTravel #RetailTherapy #CoffeeAndChill #JapanCafeCulture #OutletsInJapan #japan #japantrip #kyushu #kyushutrip

📍Starbucks Tosu Premium Outlets 🕰️Business hours｜10:00-20:00 📫〒841-0005 Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, Yayoi Gago 8-1 Tosu Premium Outlet I was almost exhausted after shopping at the outlets⚡️I passed by Starbucks and decided to come in to recharge my energy. The environment is very clean and quiet. There are few people at night, so it is nice to sit and relax. 🍩The donuts look simple, but they are actually very sweet💥The crust is a bit crispy, and it feels like a solid bread when you bite it. It is really greasy to eat alone, and I really need coffee to suppress it. 🥤But I actually ordered a cup of "Hojicha & Kushik (Classic Tea Latte)", and it turned out to be sweet on top of sweet🫠I ordered this cup because of the recommendation of Cuishang, and I also added mousse milk foam, which looks very layered. When I drink it... well, it tastes like milk tea in a breakfast shop. The aroma of hojicha is not very obvious, just a friendly route. ⚖️The overall combination is a bit wrong, but it is still comfortable to take a break in the spacious Starbucks. I may change it to a less sweet combination next time😂 #日本星巴克 #托栖星巴克 #甜双甜组合 #早餐店奶茶風 #甜食爆裂 #星巴克限饮

Actually, before I left for Japan, I wanted to eat at this popular No.1 restaurant with a long queue. But on the second day of my trip, I accidentally found a Kanetara store at Tosu Premium Outlet, which had even fewer people queuing. I went to buy it and tried it immediately. It tasted better than the super thick fish tsukemen. The noodles were chewy and I kept putting them in my mouth. No wonder it is the most popular No.1. 😋😋😋👍👍👍👍
