Kyushu Touring 2023 Day 1 with Porsche Boxster GTS (981)

The Prestigious Taiyo Ferry Voyage Traveling from Kansai to Kyushu is very convenient by ferry. I have used...

With its overwhelmingly beautiful scenery, a series of gentle curves, and the most pleasant climate, it captivates car enthusiasts and driving aficionados alike.

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) Part 6 (Final)

From Miyazaki to Takachiho Having finally reached Miyazaki on this tour, it was time to head home, but first, I decided to take a little sightseeing drive around the Miyazaki area. However, it was pouring rain from the morning. The Cabriolet’s soft top was soaked beyond what its water-repellent treatment could handle. Opening the door quickly to avoid getting wet, I jumped in and started the engine. Leaving Miyazaki city, I sped along K355 and...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) ⑤

Famous Road: Ibusuki Skyline The trip is now approaching its final stages. Although I arrived late at the hotel the previous day, I made an effort to wake up early. I was a bit sleep-deprived and felt the fatigue accumulating. After getting ready, I got into the 911 and headed first for the Ibusuki Skyline. In my opinion, the Ibusuki Skyline ranks among the top 5 famous roads in Japan. I had driven it before...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) ④

Driving Around Omura Bay Since I arrived at the hotel later than expected yesterday, I started a bit later today. After getting ready and checking out, I decided to spend the day driving around Omura Bay. As soon as I left the hotel, I opened the roof and headed the 911 onto Omura Rainbow Road. Perhaps because it was morning, traffic was light on this fast winding road. Heading toward Isahaya City, I sped through...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992)③

Taking the 911 on a Ferry from Shikoku to Kyushu I had set my alarm for 5 a.m., but woke up even earlier. It seemed to have rained quite a bit last night, but this morning the rain had stopped and the air was refreshingly crisp. I quickly got ready and left with plenty of time to catch the 6:20 a.m. ferry. The hotel was right in the middle of a residential area, so starting...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) Part 2

Starting from Katsurahama The second day began in Nankoku City. The clear skies remained as usual. I had planned to get up early and take a morning stroll along Katsurahama, but I overslept. Hurriedly got ready and checked out. First, I drove the 911 to Katsurahama. After previously visiting the Kaizumi Shrine (Ryuo-gu) there, I felt my luck improved, so this was a thank-you visit. Though the sun was already high, the Pacific Ocean viewed...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in the Porsche 911 (992) Part 1

My Partner This Time: The 992 This year’s Golden Week gave me a rare 10-day holiday, so I decided to go on a long touring trip. Until just before departure, I was undecided about which partner to take—981, or maybe 991, or even a 964? But this time, I chose to take the 992 along. The reason is that although I’ve driven the 992 on long distances and on circuits, I had never really done...
