Another incredible day-trip in Kyushu today, we rented a car and did a
koyo (autumn leaves) driving tour. We drove to Yame first, stopping off at the incredible Yamanaka Glen. Most of the following photos are from this heavenly nature spot. After some lunch, we continued our drive through Kumamoto Prefecture (Mt. Kuju scenic route) and on to Beppu, Oita where we visited a friend's art exhibition before coming home. I'll post about the exhibition another time, but for today here is small taste of spectacular autumn in Japan...
