hey guys good morning it's Michaela this
morning it is 7:00 a.m. and I'm staying
in the most luxurious neocon here in
fukuoka prefecture in a secretive city
and this is the first time I've been to
a yoke on in fukuoka prefecture that
i've actually really really really liked
and i can't wait to show you what it's
like
cardio Khan is a bit different from a
hotel it's more than a place to sleep
it's a destination for relaxation to
hide yourself away from the outside
world for me
this neocon in a Sakura perfectly
completed that task inside my room I
have my own private outdoor bath and
it's not just a little tub it's an
actual rock no.10 bruto outdoor bath and
check out these porcelain sinks there's
- there's even a porcelain sink in the
bathroom and a porcelain toilet paper
holder with the same motif for me one of
the signs of quality in a do con is how
many amenities it gives you this is like
really nice stuff moisturizing lotion
we've got cream we've got cleansing wash
we've got makeup remover and even some
leave-in conditioner for your hair which
I use today I actually wish I could
bring this bottle do you want to see the
wildest thing about this room it's this
closet check it out there's a freaking
sauna bed in the closet you just crawl
in here and you sweat I used it last
night
as you can see yokan rooms are often
more spacious than hotel rooms - making
them the perfect size for families or
groups of friends traveling together
right outside my room is a balcony
overlooking a beautiful river now you
guys know me and I know that you are
also the same we are not technically the
luxury tourism demographic I don't like
spending a ton of money on a short stay
I would rather spend less money over a
longer stay and I mean everybody's
travel style is different and that's
okay but in recent years Kyushu has been
trying to brand itself as a luxury
tourism destination and with that comes
these gorgeous high-class hotels
extravagant Cruiser trains some of the
best food in the country and I've been
very fortunate to be a part of a project
here exploring luxury Kyushu I want to
show you what this like next level of
Kyushu Tourism looks like later today
I'll be going to Hakata station to ride
the Natsu boshi the 7 star cruise line
that travels around Kyushu it's a luxury
cruise line with sleeper cars you spend
the night on the train day we're very
lucky because we've been given the
opportunity to spend a night on the
train and see what the luxury tourism
experience is like for me it's kind of
just like looking at a fantasy because I
would love to have the type of money to
be a luxury tourist one day but I'm not
there yet yes there are many excursion
trains operating throughout Japan but
the not suppose she is the king of
excursion trains in Kyushu named after
the Seven prefectures the trade is 7
cars long and can host up to 28
passengers at a time it started running
five years ago but its popularity is
still surging and with limited capacity
and scheduling even if you can afford to
take it for a ride you'll have to wait
your turn for months before you can
secure a spot
this train in the half
gorgeous
the other side that it's hard to take a
photo
my weird reflection
keeps getting in the way
I want you to pay attention to this
gorgeous shine and finish on the gold
plating
it's really hard to the so shiny
very chic
Wow the detail in all of the design on
this train is just like so intricate and
amazing yeah she was Heidi was oh my
gosh all right so this is my room for
the evening each room has two single
beds that can convert into sofas during
the day and during dinner the staff will
come in and prepare the beds for you
there's also a desk like you would have
in a hotel and a chair complete with
your own mini-fridge which is stocked
and all-inclusive so everything that is
in this fridge you can drink for no
extra cost I'm gonna try this Hachi
meets a lemon this honey lemon drink
from saga prefecture that I've never
seen before
all right and this is the bathroom even
the toilet or the nun and suppose she
has a wood finish and it is one of the
Japanese Washlet so it has a remote
control on the side and of course the
shower room is quite nice too so the
showers also lined with a wood finish
it's very very beautiful and I love the
lattice that they have at the bottom
this kind of separates the drainage and
the water and the base of the shower
from your feet so you're not standing in
a shower water and it's actually really
really nice I love when showers have
this kyushu isn't very big it's possible
to circle the entire island in a day or
two if you have the time but each region
has its own distinct landscape whether
it be the mountains in the hot spring
town of youth
or the seaside in Nagasaki you're bound
to see it all when you relax next to the
giant windows of the Nats of oshi train
some travelers are adventurers but for
those who seek to see the world from the
comfort of their own safety bubble the
Nettleton boshi provides a gentle yet
comprehensive overview of the Kyushu
region here's the menu for lunch it is a
Japanese themed lunch with ingredients
taken from all over Kyushu cutoffs is
famous for its squid so we've got some
squid sashimi Wagyu beef down here the
caviar is from Kagoshima Prefecture
which is the southernmost Prefecture in
Kyushu and this potato salad has been
tygo which is fish eggs on top and
that's a specialty in Fukuoka this is
really interesting this is tomato juice
from Miyazaki Prefecture what they've
done is actually put the tomato juice in
a cloth and then squeeze the juice out
of a cloth so what you're left with is
this clear nuclear residue
that is the tomato juice and up top here
we have a selection of six spices that
you can use to flavor your dishes during
the day there are optional excursions to
nearby towns but you can also choose to
just stay back listen to live music chat
with other passengers and take it easy
too so we've been on the train all day
we're now in Nagasaki prefecture and
we're passing by most beautiful oceans
and it's gone you just missed it
time you're talking and I'll never know
what it looked like but it was just like
here it is here it is there she is
very romantic
all right good evening everyone
so it's almost bitter time and I've been
getting ready the attire for dinner is
formal and I don't normally wear a lot
of clothes so I'm trying to figure out
like good I think so I don't know I
really like this dress and have maybe
blue some fake fur least I've ever
forever 21 but don't tell anybody all
right
now I'm all dressed up and I'm ready for
dinner I hope that this is a French
fusion meal with a chef from Nagasaki
and is very excited to see what comes
out
we've got a menu got a menu but I'm not
gonna spoil it for myself I'm gonna use
it only for arrested so guys it's about
9:30 p.m. and we are stopped at Nagasaki
station and we were just eating dinner
when the staff pointed out that there is
a fan who comes to see the none on
suppose she every weekend on this
platform and on several platforms
throughout the route we're gonna go see
if we can talk to him
because why not just see what it is he
likes so much about the nuts of OC
because the fact that he comes out here
all the time
and he's like this huge train fan s I
have so many questions

customizable pad she doesn't hate though

a great time

unique experience it has a bit of
everything and sometimes the memories
that a trip like this can produce are
priceless thanks for watching guys see
