We have had a terrific time in Kyushu. Hakata was too hot and we are both allergic to the AC so we had a bit of a cold.
the Hotels that you choose for us where Absolut fantastic with very friendly and helpful staff.
our room in the New hotel in Kumamoto was like being in a one bedroom flat so big was it.
In Kagoshima we have had a sight to Sakurajima but the lovely Vulcan didn't want to take down the hut for us so we didn't see much, but enjoyed anyways.
the big surprise was the Nikko hotel in Osaka : we where expecting a small room and we had a big room with lot of space.
all the breakfast buffet where out of this world especially Fukuoka , but all they had a very fantastic mix of Japanese and western food.
Dazaifu ( we went there on a Sunday) was hot and overcrowded , In Kumamoto where the street art festival and we saw very interesting things.
We took a local train to Isahaya and an earlier bus to Shimabara and arrived in Kumamoto at around 3 pm.
Thanks a lot again for your excellent organisation.
