Day 3: Moving on to Kumamoto for a long road trip from Yufuin. Come join us! 🚗 (Apr 26)

🌤Day 3: We left Yufuin and drove for a long time to Kumamoto. Our first stop was the Daikanbo Lockout, a scenic viewpoint in Kumamoto Prefecture. It's considered one of the most beautiful and magnificent viewpoints in Japan, situated on the edge of the extinct Aso Caldera. ⛰️ 🚗After a break, we continued our journey (the restrooms here aren't very clean, so we recommend stopping before continuing). We drove downhill and stopped for ice cream at the Aso Milk Factory. Their most popular item is the Soft Serve Ice Cream and various gelato flavors made from real fresh milk, served in a crunchy granola cone. 🍨 💚We continued driving and stopped for lunch (we've been eating a lot this trip!) at Tonkatsu Hamakatsu Kumamoto. This is a famous franchise tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) restaurant originating from Nagasaki. The Ozu branch in Kumamoto Prefecture is a great stop for refueling. If you like fish and shrimp, they have it all – highly recommended! The ultimate Japanese experience 📍 🏰 Next landmark: Kumamoto Castle. When in this city, we have to visit and admire its grandeur and learn about the city's history. There are elevators to take you up to different points too! 🌿 Ending the day with dinner at Hakata Takenoya, Amu Plaza branch, near the train station. It's an izakaya-style restaurant where you can relax and enjoy chicken skewers and liver. It was our first time trying horse sashimi! 🐴 #kumamoto #tontatsu #traveljapan #daikunbo #japan If you have any recommendations, let me know! 😍 .........................
