Driving from Fukuoka to Kurokawa Onsen, passing through Oguni Town, I accidentally found a popular soba noodle restaurant #手打そば優心. Although it is a rural area, it has good business. If you don't make an appointment, you have to wait for half an hour. I wandered around nearby. While visiting, I unexpectedly visited the #Oguni Shrine with its towering ancient trees, and the #Keyaki Water Source along the Sakura River. The shop of Shouda Soba Youxin is very Zen-like, decorated with a row of wooden fences. Inside is an L-shaped workbench. Sitting in the tatami seating area, you can watch the noodle cooking process up close, from rolling the noodles, putting them in the pot, chilling them, adding ingredients, The chef's skillful plating is really brilliant and interesting. We ordered a tempura set and a beef rice bowl. The cold buckwheat noodles were served in a bamboo sieve and dipped in the sauce. They were smooth and slurpy. The tempura was fried crispy and delicious, and the beef was roasted tender and juicy. The soba cold noodles were a real treat. Another bowl was duck soba noodles in soup, which was lush and green, with a sweet soup and tender duck meat; I also ordered a portion of tamagoyaki in soup, which was a warm egg roll with rich soup, very delicious. Finally, the chef will scoop a spoonful of noodle cooking water and add it to the remaining dipping sauce container, which transforms it into a fragrant and rich soup stock. It tastes so delicious! Quite a delicious and fun experience. #Hand-typed そば优心 Opening hours: 1100-1600 Address: 1635-5 Miyahara, Oguni, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-2501 Japan Average consumption per person: 1,000-2,000 yen #Japan Cherry Blossom Viewing #Kyushu Food #Soba Noodles #Oguni Town

The Tsuetate Onsen Koinobori Festival is held every year between April and early May. The scenery of Aso, which is rich in nature, and the large number of colorful carp streamers are very beautiful 🎏 It's impressive, so even small children can enjoy it! As it is a hot spring town, you can eat hot spring eggs and there are plenty of food stalls. The parking lot is always full at this time of year, and it takes a while to find a parking spot, so we recommend going early in the morning. #tripmemory2022

\\Spots// Waita Onsenkyo, where the best season for autumn leaves is coming up, has many places where you can enjoy natural hot springs at reasonable prices. The one we visited this time, Horei no Yado, is a rare hot spring inn where you can experience white-blue water and hell steaming. Even non-guests can use the hot springs for day trips. It is also popular with people who want to sleep in their cars, and if you submit a car camping consent form, you can park your car in the on-site parking lot. (Number of cars limited) We visited at the end of September, so the autumn leaves had not yet started to change, but it was a wonderful place that we would like to visit again someday during the autumn leaves season! Facilities 📍Horei no Yado Address 📍 2917 Nishizato, Oguni-cho, Aso City Price 📍Family bath/1,200 yen per room (1 hour) #Autumn trip #Hot springs #Autumn leaves spot #Amazing view #Kumamoto #Ogunigo, Kumamoto Prefecture #Autumn trip

\\Tourist Spots// Nabegataki Falls, which was also used as a location for a certain tea commercial, is a waterfall with a drop of about 10m and a width of about 20m, like a curtain of water. The highlight of this place is that you can go around to the back of the waterfall as well as the front. There are about 120 steps from the parking lot to the waterfall, so sneakers are a must! The surrounding roads are narrow, so from November 2021, reservations are required for entry to ease traffic congestion. It seems that you can make reservations on the day if there is availability on weekdays, but on busy days such as holidays, reservations are required in advance, so don't forget to make a reservation when planning! It was a wonderful place that you should definitely experience!

[Miyazaki] Takachiho Gorge 💡Access: Car 💡Tourist Spots: Takachiho Gorge, Amanokahara, Nabegataki ＼We recommend that you make a reservation in advance for Takachiho Gorge rental boats／ →Reservations open at 9am two weeks before the desired reservation date. We recommend that you make a reservation as soon as reservations open (^^) If you purchase tickets on the day, it says that there are only a few tickets left and the waiting time is about 5 hours (･･;) 💡Meals & Restaurants: Imakin Shokudo ＼We recommend coming in the evening as the waiting time is short／ The waiting time during peak lunch time is said to be a few hours.

#Horae Yoshimi Shrine (Hokona Shrine) This shrine is located near the Nabegataki intersection in Oguni-machi, Kumamoto Prefecture, and is also known as Hokona-sha. In the past, a kinboko was unearthed from nearby Kuromuta, and the shrine was called Hokona-sha because it was enshrined there. The Honosha has a wooden mask called the Kunlun mask of the Geguraku that has been handed down from the Heian period. Now only temples such as Horyuji Temple and Todaiji Temple have Geguraku masks left, and in Kyushu, only the Horai Yoshimi Shrine has it. In the area, there are the Husband and Wife Cedar Trees of Honogu Shrine, with trunk circumferences of 6.4m and 5.7m respectively, and an estimated age of 700 years. They are designated as a natural monument of Oguni Town. Kengoku Ryu-no-Mikoto and Bime-mikoto are the main deities enshrined.

The museum is a renovated traditional Japanese house originally built in the 5th year of the Meiji era, featuring tatami flooring throughout. Sakamoto Zenzo, an abstract painter from Oguni Town, is highly acclaimed both domestically and internationally. His abstract works harmonize beautifully with the traditional Japanese house setting, creating an immediate emotional connection. The museum offers visitors a chance to experience the rich natural environment and culture of Oguni. Sit on the tatami mats and enjoy the slow passage of time. Sakamoto Zenzo's abstract paintings depict various "forms" that evoke vivid imagery in the viewer's mind. During his lifetime, Zenzo mentioned in an interview that he drew inspiration from "casual things" and "ordinary objects" in his daily life, striving to create unique "forms." He also left behind the thought-provoking statement: "I hope my paintings can engage in intimate conversations with the viewer."

In previous years, the "Tsuchitate Onsen Carp Streamer Festival" was held from early April to the Golden Week in May. Thousands of colorful carp streamers fluttered on the Tsuchitate River, always attracting many travelers. However, due to the large number of tourists visiting during this period over the years, serious traffic jams and the burden on local elderly and children have been caused. This year, the Carp Streamer Festival will be held a month earlier in late March to late April. Are there any travelers who happened to come and see this magnificent scenery? Located deep in the mountains of Kumamoto, this is one of the best hot spring resorts in Kyushu. It is known as the healing town because of the excellent quality of the hot springs. The hot spring town has been prosperous since the Showa period, and although it gradually declined during the Heisei period, it is still loved today for its unique quiet atmosphere and street style. There are three bridges connecting the Tsuchitachi River. On the "Red Leaves Bridge", there are many painted carp hanging like painted horses. Since the Japanese word for carp is koi, which sounds the same as love, it is said to be a powerful spot that is particularly effective for love wishes!

Although the drop is not that high, the wide water flowing down looks like a curtain, creating a very fantastical landscape. The charm of Nabegataki is that you can go behind the waterfall. It is not often that you can experience looking out from behind the water, and it made me feel like I was in another world.
