After two adventure-packed weeks of exploring Kyushu Island, it was time to make the prolonged drive from the south of the island to Fukuoka to meet up with the Klook workers for a one-week advertising and marketing marketing campaign promoting Kyushu and Klook. It was my closing week in Japan and was the first motive I received right here to this island inside the first place. I was invited onto the advertising and marketing marketing campaign and received right here two weeks early to find the island of Kyushu in depth.
The workers was Matt the advertising and marketing marketing campaign supervisor from Klook and my outdated mate Jorden Tually and one different Aussie creator, Jake Rich. It was a fairly lowkey advertising and marketing marketing campaign have been we primarily based in Fukuoka at a pleasing lodge and did an train equipped on the Klook app every single day. After two crazy weeks and a lot of driving, I was stoked to be primarily based in a single lodge for six days with a slower-paced schedule. It was moreover refreshing to have one other particular person in command of the schedule and logistics. It’s good to be in administration and do points by your self phrases nonetheless may very well be pretty draining to find out all of it out in a model new nation for every single switch, meal and second of the day.
It turned out to be pretty an odd week because of the Corona Virus had now unfold globally and the chatter and media surrounding the pandemic have been starting to infiltrate every dialog and even began to have an effect on varied key decisions. Japan had pretty a few situations already so we have now been a bit on edge determining it’s proximity to China.
Klook actually requested us to not publish on social media as a result of it didn’t seem relevant to promote touring to Japan all through this period. It made sense so we created the content material materials nonetheless will launch it at a time further delicate to the state of affairs and when journey is taken into consideration protected and acceptable as quickly as as soon as extra. That gave the week a bit of little bit of an odd vibe as often we’re adventuring laborious after which working laborious to get that content material materials out every single day. As an alternative, we have now been merely submitting it away ready for a few month’s time. This made the week rather more cruisy and I was able to get in a few runs, well being membership intervals and make amends for one more work along with merely hanging out and taking in my remaining week in Japan.
The highlights of the week have been the Mount Aso tour, the place we hiked up Mount Eboshi. You might check that weblog publish out proper right here. My totally different favorite journey whereas primarily based in Fukuoka was our go to to the epic Takachiho Gorge, which is probably going some of the pretty waterfalls in Japan. I’ve obtained that weblog publish up moreover, which may very well be seen by clicking proper right here. Lastly, we headed out ultimately to find the shoreline of Japan and ended up on a quick hike to Keya No Oto, which you will have the ability to try proper right here.
That wrapped up my three weeks of winter in Japan. It proved to be an epic journey with quite a few hikes, volcanoes, waterfalls and some naked Onsen movement. These are my favorite pictures from my closing week in Japan with the boys primarily based out of Fukuoka.
