Shimabara to Kumamoto, Takachiho Gorge - Sunday, October 2, 2022

We drive 1-1/2 hours from Nagasaki to board the car ferry to take us from Shimabara to Kumamoto. View from the waiting area.


 Vending machines are very common through out the streets in Japan - all kinds of beverages including beer and food too.
