A Journey across japan ~in Kyusyu~ 九州編
九州 （Kyusyu）, the last island for riding. When we were at Shimonoseki,(下関)、we really excited about that. Shimonoseki and Kitakyusyu(北九州)、780m away for each other having sea between them. Fortunately , there is a tunnel under the sea that we can walk. So we walked with our bicycle.
The port of the 北九州（kitakyuusyu） was amazing. So far, we saw 函館（hakodate）port, which is famous for trading internationally in history, but in my preference, I like the mood of 北九州 more. A lot of vessels dogged at the port, maybe they are waiting for the time to sail. And there are many warehouse next to the sea, which is built by brick like Hakodate`s one. So beautiful, at the same time, overwhelming feeling because they are so huge scale. If you like ship, and trading stuff, you must like it.
Not with my buddy, but just me, I restarted the rule of Dice roll until getting to the last place 鹿児島新港（kagoshima new port）, which is around 340km away. Seems so hard~~
We actually wanted to taste 博多ラーメン（hakata ramen）、but it was a bit hard to manage with our route, so we could not eat it. For me its ok , but for my buddy it was shame because he has never eaten it before haha. So we did little BBQ again like usual instead.
Second day was the hardest day we got so far definitely. We were directly attacked by the strong typhoon. Ill never forget it. At around 2 am, we were awaked by the strong rain and wind while we were sleeping outside. With bad luck, at the night, we lost our precious tent. It was broken. Then the storm attacked us. We know its coming by searching the weather forecast, we didn’t have other choice, but staying out. During the heavy rain, we gotta move and rescue our stuff and bike, we ran into the public toilet temporally, we stayed there till it ends. Still , we gotta go to Kumamoto from there, going through many big hills and mountain, it was a hard day. But finally, when we got to Kumamoto, we could see my friend and he treated us good food. I cannot thank you enough.
Leaving 熊本(kumamoto), only a few days left to go. It felt me good, but sad at the same time haha. No matter what, this journey will end. Thinking about it, I headed to the last spot.
鹿児島(Kagoshima)prefecture, which is the last place to go, has rough road because it has volcanos. Anyway, on the way to the Kagoshima new port, many people stopped by for us to say hallo or giving some food or money. We felt so happy for that. Ill never forget such events.
Right next to the 桜島（sakurajima）,which is erupting a little all the time , we found the port, kagoshima new port. We hurried there as fast as we could. Then finished our bicycle challenge there. We just glad that we could finish it with no serious accident or something. So happy. We took a ticket for taking a vessel to 沖縄（Okinawa）, the final goal for us to land.
