Overview Itinerary of Northern Kyushu, Japan (Winter/Spring 2018)

Travelling with an Infant to Northern Kyushu (Japan) 

Be sure to bookmark this page as I update my Itinerary of Northern Kyushu. It’s our first trip with Baby EG and we went to a cold place for a road trip. What were we thinking of?! She had just turned 8 months old when we went.

We took a red-eye flight from Singapore to Fukuoka with Singapore Airlines. We took a highway bus from Fukuoka airport to Nagasaki and travelled around Nagasaki on foot. After that, we did a road trip from Nagasaki to Kumamoto, Mount Aso, Kurokawa, Yufuin and back at Fukuoka. We travelled from 21 February to 1 March 2018.

It was winter going Spring. The temperature fluctuated between 2 to 15 degrees Celsius. There was a drop to -1, -2 degrees Celsius when it rained at Kumamoto.  The rain followed us through to our last lap in Fukuoka.
