Summit to Sea now touchdown B [Music] buai so they have surrounded by ocean and Mountain views and cities so it’s a mix of everything I like that it’s not too busy I don’t know if um what’s going to be the situation once I arrive in Osaka but I really love it here cycling here at night it feels so different like arri to a new City without I don’t know so I’m trying um beu cold noodle it’s they call it Raymond yeah and you Che out now at a female dormitory yeah I always stay at female D dormitory but yeah so love at this it’s really huge and have this clo in oh wow it’s so good to have a

time to plan so what I do is I just go to tourist information and get information about the bus stop and that’s where I’m going to decide what I’m going to do like right now so I’m thinking to hike

I had the opportunity to explore the beautiful hot spring destination of Beppu, my last stop in Kyushu as well as the charming tourist spots around Yufuin. Additionally, I enjoyed a memorable hike in Yufudake and ventured across the ferry to Shikoku, where I arrived in Yawatahama and experienced a wonderful camping adventure.
