Day 1
Kumamoto
Depart 18:00
Kumamoto is a castle city on Kyushu renowned for its magnificent seventeenth-century castle — currently undergoing a fascinating multi-decade earthquake restoration — and its proximity to Mount Aso, home to Japan's largest volcanic caldera. Must-do experiences include exploring the castle's ingenious defenses, hiking Mount Aso's otherworldly caldera, and sampling basashi (horse meat sashimi) and Kumamoto ramen. Spring cherry blossoms (March-May) and autumn grassland colors (October-November) offer the most atmospheric visiting conditions.

Keelung
Arrive 07:00
Keelung, a historic port city in northern Taiwan, is known for its vibrant atmosphere and culinary treasures, including the famous Oyster Omelette and Braised Pork Rice. A must-do experience is exploring the bustling Keelung Night Market and venturing to nearby attractions like Sun Moon Lake and Taroko Gorge. The best season to visit is during the fall, when the weather is mild and pleasant for outdoor exploration.
