Drop-in open-air bath with a superb view!

Akane Nami-no-yu Introduced many times on TV, we went to a very popular drop-in hot spring. I was able to make a reservation 3 days in advance, so I made a reservation by phone in advance.

I went to Kurokawa Onsen

The mornings and evenings became cold, and at the end of September, I began to feel the signs of autumn. I started to miss the hot springs, so I went to Kurokawa Onsen. Access from Fukuoka I used to drive to visit Kurokawa Onsen. I think many people visit by car. I think it takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes by car from Fukuoka, This time, I used a highway bus! You can take the bus from Fukuoka Airport’s International Terminal 1F bus stop, Hakata Bus Terminal, and Fukuoka Tenjin Bus Terminal. Reserve your seat online for reservation. However, more than half of the seats were empty on weekdays, so it may have been okay not to make a reservation. Arrive at Kurokawa Onsen […]

Eat Akashi-yaki at Akashi Uotana Shopping Street!

Akashi Tayuki After returning to Akashi Port, I immediately came to the Uotana shopping street. According to the previous information, there should be many big fishing flags on the street, Maybe it’s because it’s after the self-restraint period, but it’s quiet. There are shops that are closed (such as the standing bar I was interested in). Wander the street and look for souvenirs. There are many shops that sell famous Akashi-yaki, anago, octopus, etc. There was information that many stores would be closed on Thursdays because there was no auction. I’m ♪ glad I came on Friday I bought anago tempura and boiled octopus. And the main purpose on this street is to eat Akashi-yaki! I’m worried that there are many shops, I decided on […]

Take a break at the roadside station Awaji

Roadside Station Awaji There is time until the cafeteria on the 2nd floor of the terminal building of Iwaya Port, which is the purpose of this trip, opens.

Oden and Kushikatsu Himeji shop The second case came to “Himeji Goodwill Street” in front of JR Himeji Station. On this street, there are seafood izakaya, sushi restaurants, and shops such as Himeji Oden. It seems that there is also a branch of Maru Masaie, which I visited in the first case. You can also enjoy it on this street. And the shop I chose was “Himeji Oden and Kushikatsu Shop”.
