#itineraryplanning A day trip to Takachiho is perfect for nature lovers and those interested in Japanese mythology. Start the morning at the breathtaking Takachiho Gorge, where steep basalt cliffs frame the emerald river below. One of the best experiences here is renting a small boat to paddle beneath the famous Manai Falls, a picturesque waterfall that flows directly into the gorge. Walking along the scenic trail also offers stunning viewpoints of the cliffs and river. After exploring the gorge, head to the mystical Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine. Known for its moss-covered stone steps lined with lanterns, the shrine feels almost otherworldly and is believed to bring good fortune. Surrounded by lush forest and peaceful atmosphere, it’s a memorable stop that captures the spiritual charm and natural beauty of rural Kyushu. ⛩️🌿🌊

🏮 What is Dazaifu Street? Dazaifu Street refers to the bustling Omotesando leading up to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. This lively street is a favorite among tourists and is packed with: · Local specialty snacks · Artsy and creative shops · Traditional Japanese confectionery stores · Handicrafts · Souvenir shops · Cafes and dessert shops · Shrine-related goods and charms Though the street isn’t long, it encapsulates Fukuoka’s charm with its "cuteness, deliciousness, culture, and creativity." It’s a place to stroll leisurely, shop joyfully, and eat happily. Dazaifu Street is famous not just for its attractions but for the unique rhythm of travel it offers—eating, stopping, browsing, and laughing as you go. Before you know it, you’ve spent an entire afternoon there. ⸻ 🍡 Popular Delicacies: Happiness in Every Bite The most iconic food here is the Umegae Mochi. Almost every few steps, you’ll find a line of people waiting for this treat. The warm, crispy exterior and soft, red bean-filled interior are best enjoyed hot, offering a comforting experience. Other must-try treats include: · Mentaiko croquettes · Matcha soft serve · Traditional Japanese sweets · Grilled rice dumplings · Local specialty crepes · Fresh milk ice cream This isn’t just a street of food—it’s a street that tempts you to eat as you walk, making it impossible not to indulge. ⸻ 🦊 Shops Too Cute to Resist The shops along Dazaifu Street are experts at capturing the hearts of travelers. You’ll find: · Artsy craft stores · Japanese pottery · Lucky charm trinkets · Dreamy general stores · Traditional Japanese toys · Handmade accessories · Kimono-inspired fabric pouches There’s also an abundance of fox-themed, shrine-inspired, and academic charm-related creative goods. Stepping into any shop will make you think, "This would be perfect for a friend, and that one’s for me," and before you know it, your wallet is out. ⸻ 🧠 Dazaifu Street: A Stroll That Makes You Lose Track of Time The first time I walked into Dazaifu Street, my shoulders were relaxed, but my pace quickened. My eyes darted left and right, my taste buds awakened, and my senses were stimulated. The small shops lining the street seemed to call out to travelers: "Come in for a bit," "Have a bite," "Just take a look." This place isn’t serious, rushed, or oppressively quiet. It strikes a charming balance between touristy vibrancy and everyday leisure. I bought my first Umegae Mochi, fresh off the grill, its aroma wafting like smoke. Taking that first bite, I felt like my journey had truly begun. The sweetness wasn’t overwhelming—it was the kind of comfort you need during a trip. As I walked, I stopped at an artsy general store. Every item inside was absurdly cute. I picked up a fox-shaped washi tape and thought, "I’ll probably never use this." Yet, the next moment, it was in my bag. The street was crowded but not suffocating. People strolled, ate, took photos, and smiled, creating a lighthearted atmosphere where everyone seemed to be having a good day. I saw families on vacation, couples holding hands, and elderly couples walking slowly. Suddenly, I understood: Dazaifu isn’t just a place to check off your travel list—it’s a form of relaxing stroll. And the most wonderful part? No one rushes you to move along. You can linger in a shop for ten seconds or twenty minutes. You can take a bite of ice cream and then grab some rice dumplings. You can buy nothing at all, simply enjoying the warm scent of flour and watching others’ happiness. I initially thought the street had only a few shops, but I ended up walking for over an hour. Every few meters, there was a new shop, a new flavor, a new temptation. That day, I didn’t buy much, but I tried three different snacks, drank matcha, and took countless photos. And I wasn’t in a hurry to reach Tenmangu Shrine. Because I realized: In Dazaifu, "the journey itself" is the experience, not just the destination. When I reached the end of the street and saw the torii gate and the path to the shrine, I felt a wave of emotion. Not because of the destination, but because the beauty along the way had already filled my journey. Dazaifu Street may be short, but it leaves a long-lasting impression. You’ll remember the scents, colors, laughter, glances, the sweetness in the air, and those fleeting moments of joy. As I walked back to the station, my bag wasn’t heavy, my stomach wasn’t full, but my heart felt as light as freshly dried laundry. I knew then that this is the kind of place you’ll want to visit again. Because every time you come, you’ll taste something new, buy something different, meet new people, and bring back a different feeling. And isn’t that unpredictability what makes travel so enchanting? ⸻ ⭐ Tips for Enjoying Dazaifu Street · Must-try: Umegae Mochi · Don’t buy too much at once—leave room for surprises · The shops are photogenic, so take lots of pictures of the cute items · If you’re not in a rush, strolling while eating is the most enjoyable · For souvenirs, this street offers more charm than the airport

#November Destinations 2025 Step into the underground shopping arcade of Hakata Station, and you'll be irresistibly drawn in by an irresistible aroma—that's NUNU CHICKEN, Fukuoka's latest hotspot with long queues. It's not your average fried chicken stall; it's the kind of place you might initially just "try," but end up carrying a whole bag back to your hotel, binge-watching TV until the early hours of the morning. NUNU CHICKEN specializes in Korean-style boneless fried chicken, with a rich, sweet and savory flavor, a thick sauce, and an intense aroma, completely unlike the typical "light" approach of Japanese fried chicken. It's designed to make you crave it late at night, ruin your diet, and regret it the next day, yet you'll still want to buy it again. And it's even better cold—that's almost unfair! The outer layer doesn't become greasy when cold; instead, it's like a "chewier version of sugar-coated fried chicken," while the meat remains tender, flavorful, and not dry. It's perfect for taking back to your hotel, in your car, or even indulging before boarding a plane. ⸻ ✨Food Highlights · Boneless chicken, easy to eat. Enjoy it while watching TV, scrolling on your phone, or taking a walk. · Rich sweet and savory flavor, with distinct layers of garlic and sweetness. The first bite is impactful, and the fifth bite is addictive. · Small portions, not too heavy. But you might still end up buying a lot… · The perfect accompaniment to beer and highball. Even pairs well with sugar-free Calpis. · Japanese tourists and office workers often buy whole bags. Good takeout packaging, perfect for sharing. ⸻ 👜Location and Atmosphere The shop is located in the underground shopping arcade of Hakata Station (博多デイトス), making it incredibly easy to get to. The stall isn't large, but the queue often gets congested. You'll see office workers carrying bags of food away, as if it's a "late-night snack warehouse." There are samples and flavor demonstrations available. The staff are efficient, so the queue is usually not too long. ⸻ 🧾|"This isn't fried chicken, it's a salvation for late-night life" My first time trying Nunu Chicken was completely drawn in by the aroma. It wasn't the typical ghee smell of fried food, but rather a sweet and caramelized garlicky fragrance that made my brain short-circuit. I bought the original medium size, thinking it would be just regular Korean-style fried chicken. The moment I took my first bite, I was stunned. The sauce was rich but not cloying; the sweetness hit first, followed by a slightly salty and garlicky flavor, coating the entire piece of chicken. The skin wasn't crispy, but rather had that soft, crunchy, sugary texture typical of Korean fried chicken, with a satisfyingly sticky texture when you bite into it. The most surprising thing was that the meat itself was moist and tender, not the hard-fried or dry kind. This is definitely not the style of Japanese fried chicken. Japanese fried chicken emphasizes a light and controlled oil, while Nunu Chicken completely goes against the grain; it's all about being rich, heavy, sticky, and addictive. I originally planned to eat just one or two pieces, but while watching Netflix, scrolling through my phone, and chatting, I couldn't stop eating them. And once they cooled down, they became even more appealing; the sauce seeped into the meat, making the flavor more balanced. They're like a little devil in the dead of night, and the more you eat, the more sinful you feel. The most amazing thing about them is that finishing a whole bag is satisfying, not disgusting. You won't feel greasy or tired; instead, you'll think, "Wow... how did I finish all that?" Then you'll start to regret not buying a larger portion. I've also tried them with beer, and it was absolutely amazing. Because the sauce is so strong, the beer washes away the flavors, creating a second wave of cravings, forming an endless cycle. One night, after waiting in line, I saw office workers buying three bags straight away, and I thought, "That's crazy!" But when I got back to the hotel, after eating one bag, I understood—this isn't a snack; it's compensation for the boredom of work. Eating this kind of food while traveling is especially therapeutic. You're not just enjoying the food; you're experiencing an instant sense of healing and happiness. No restaurant, no ceremony—just tear open the packaging, grab some, and eat—that's life's victory. Many travelers bring souvenirs home, but I honestly think it's hard to bring something like Nunu Chicken back because you'll eat it all before you even get to the airport. It's not about being refined or elegant; it's about being carefree, indulgent, silly, and therapeutic. Every bite feels like a lazy, indulgent, and joyful indulgence. Fukuoka has many famous foods, but Nunu Chicken is the kind of food that, while you don't actually eat it, becomes the most memorable experience during your travels. It's not fried chicken. It's a savior for late-night cravings, an escape from travel fatigue, and a symbol of self-indulgence. ⸻ ✨Summary If you are: · Love strong-flavored fried food · Love Korean sweet and spicy food · Be a late-night craving food · A traveler who needs emotional nourishment Please, you absolutely must try Nunu Chicken. You're not just eating a late-night snack, you're healing yourself. #HakataStation #Hakata #HakataStationAround #HakataStationChristmasMarket #NunuChicken #HakataMustEat #FukuokaMustEat

#NovemberDestinations2025 🏙 ​​Why Fukuoka Airport Domestic Terminal is Worth Exploring Fukuoka Airport Domestic Terminal is more than just a "transportation hub"—it's actually a mini-market blending shopping, dining, and local culture. For many travelers, the domestic terminal is more interesting and practical than the international terminal: souvenir shops, local specialties, local snacks, and popular ramen restaurants are all available, making it a place to immediately experience the Kyushu atmosphere before departing from or upon arriving in Fukuoka. ⸻ 🛍️ Where to Buy Souvenirs? What Souvenirs are Available? · Kyushu Meipinzang: Located on the 2nd floor of the domestic terminal, next to Gate 11, this souvenir shop gathers famous products from all over Kyushu and Fukuoka-exclusive items. You can buy mentaiko-related products, sweets, local snacks, and souvenirs, perfect for travelers who want to take home or give as gifts. • The domestic terminal shopping arcade also features many small shops selling local specialties from Hakata and Kyushu, including wagashi (Japanese sweets), confectionery, local products, and souvenirs. Even if you haven't traveled abroad or are outside the duty-free zone, you can still find regionally distinctive souvenirs. Overall, Fukuoka Airport's domestic terminal offers a very rich selection of souvenirs. Compared to some airports that only have basic duty-free shops, this is more like a miniature version of a local products street—perfect for travelers who want to buy all their souvenirs and gifts in one go. ⸻ 🍜 Ramen Runway + Diverse Dining: A Foodie's Paradise One of the highlights that makes Fukuoka Airport's domestic terminal famous and popular is the Ramen Runway, located on the 3rd floor. It gathers many popular ramen shops from Kyushu, Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, and other regions, offering a variety of ramen options. · If you want classic Kyushu tonkotsu ramen, there are popular local brands. • If you prefer a lighter, soy sauce, or salty broth, there are options like Ramen Sugimoto, whose salty ramen is refreshing and not greasy, a popular choice among travelers before boarding. · Besides ramen, there are also udon noodles, set meals, a café, and a Western-style restaurant, allowing you to replenish your energy anytime, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or before takeoff. For travelers who love good food and crave local flavors, stepping into Ramen Runway is like experiencing a "Kyushu ramen extravaganza" for your taste buds. ⸻ 🎯 My Feelings/Thoughts: More Than Just an Airport, It Feels Like the Last Stop on My Trip When I first entered the domestic terminal at Fukuoka Airport, I thought it was just a transit point for "booking tickets → boarding → takeoff." But I discovered it was like a miniature Fukuoka city center—steaming hot ramen, beautifully packaged souvenirs, and relaxed cafes. It gave me the feeling of "taking my time, strolling around, and enjoying myself at the airport." When you take the subway from the city center to the airport, step off the escalator, and enter the terminal, you're not rushing to check in, but rather drawn in by the irresistible aroma of ramen broth—that "ah, I miss the taste of Fukuoka" feeling washes over you instantly. Then you might stop at a ramen shop and order a bowl of salt or tonkotsu ramen. The hot broth, noodles, and toppings are simple yet incredibly satisfying. After your meal, browse the souvenir shops and pick out some mentaiko snacks, Kyushu-limited sweets, local snacks, or souvenirs. Each item feels like taking away a touch of Fukuoka's flavor, a memory of Kyushu. Perhaps it's a gift for family and friends, or maybe a keepsake for yourself—the feeling of "I truly experienced Fukuoka this time" deepens at this moment. For travelers leaving Fukuoka, the airport's domestic terminal isn't just the last stop, but the final bridge to the "flavor of Kyushu." Even in the last few minutes, you can leisurely enjoy a bowl of ramen, pick out some souvenirs, and board the plane with a sense of satisfaction—this departure feels more like a gentle farewell than a hasty exit. ⸻ ✅ Who should come here? + Tips · For those looking to buy Kyushu/Fukuoka souvenirs: Whether it's local snacks, mentaiko (spicy cod roe) souvenirs, or Kyushu-limited items, there's a wider selection here than at typical airport shops. · For ramen/local food lovers: Ramen Runway offers a variety of ramen styles; whether you prefer rich tonkotsu or a light salty flavor, you'll find something to your liking. · For those with a layover or just arriving in Fukuoka: After arriving by subway, you don't need to rush to the city center. You can eat and shop first, making the wait for your flight less boring. · For those who want to end their trip with a special touch: Before takeoff, enjoy a bowl of ramen and some souvenirs—a warm and memorable way to conclude your Fukuoka trip. ⚠️ Reminder: While domestic airport shops/souvenir shops are convenient, some are not in duty-free zones—if you are arriving from an international airport and then transferring to a domestic airport, the price of souvenirs will include consumption tax. #FukuokaAirport #FukuokaAirportFood #FukuokaAirportGuide #FukuokaDomesticAirport #FukuokaSouvenirs #MustEatRamenInFukuoka #RamenSlipperyWalk

This trip spans Aso City in Japan, and visiting the Aso Nakadake Crater in Aso City truly tests your luck. On my previous two visits, I couldn't get a chance to see the crater, but this third time, the weather finally cooperated, allowing me to hike and take some amazing photos! If you're also interested in volcanoes, this guide is a must-save! 🗺️ Recommended Attractions 1️⃣ Aso City—Aso Nakadake Crater Address: Kurokawa, Aso, Kumamoto 869-2225, Japan Opening Hours: · March 20 - October 31: 08:30-18:00 (last entry at 17:30) · November 1 - November 30: 08:30-17:30 (last entry at 17:00) · December 1 - March 19: 09:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:30) The Aso Crater is one of Kyushu's most iconic natural landmarks, but don't assume you're all set just by checking the official website before departure—everything can change at any moment due to weather or volcanic activity. Near the crater, there are many yurt-shaped shelters that are quite unique and perfect for photos. 🌦️ Practical Tips from Experience · Visiting the Aso Crater heavily depends on luck! Always have a backup plan—although the official website may indicate it's open, conditions can change on the way up. It's recommended to refresh the official website for alerts and weather updates before departure, and pay close attention to warning signs on-site. · Plan your return time carefully and avoid staying until nightfall. In winter, the weather in the mountains can change rapidly, and opening hours vary by season, with the latest entry being 16:30/17:00. 🚗 Transportation Tips You can take the JR train to Aso Station, then transfer to a bus heading to the tourist service center, and finally take a short bus ride to the crater. Be sure to check the bus schedule in advance, as buses are not frequent. 🍜 Food Recommendations There aren't many dining options in the area, so it's recommended to bring your own snacks or eat at a restaurant near Kusasenri before heading up the mountain. 🙌 Useful Tips for Visitors · If you're visiting in winter, it's best to wear non-slip hiking boots. Don't underestimate the difficulty of walking in snowy conditions. · Pay attention to the winter opening hours of various attractions, as they differ by month.

Who would've thought! I used to believe Kyoto and Osaka were Japan's travel pinnacle—until I visited Kyushu and got completely enchanted 💘 This severely underrated treasure redefines "mountains, seas, and ancient charm" with a fresh twist. Every snapshot looks straight out of an anime, and I'm *still* obsessively reminiscing three months later! 🌲 Forest Shrine Wanderings: Stepping into the Gods' Garden ▪️ Enter *Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine*, and it's like a "tranquility spell" takes hold! Towering cedars blot out the sky, moss blankets stone lanterns, and when a girl in a white dress passes through the torii, even the sunlight turns gentle ✨ (Personal take: 100x quieter than Kyoto's Fushimi Inari, yet with the same mystical "thousand torii" vibe.) ▪️ *Ryūō Shrine* cranks "black-and-gold aesthetics" to the max! Jet-black torii paired with gilded shrine structures—majestic yet opulent. Pose beneath the torii for photos with a divine filter effect; my social media blew up with questions. 🌊 Mountain-Sea Secrets: Scenes Straight from Japanese Dramas ▪️ Hike up *Kagamiyama Observatory* and just—WOW! A 360° panorama of "puzzle-piece seas and islands": turquoise waters dotted with islets, clouds casting shadows on the waves. More soothing than *Our Little Sister*'s cinematography 🌤️ ▪️ *Biwako Sea Torii* left me speechless! Wade closer at low tide—the torii and submerged stone lanterns echo each other, with misty mountains in the distance. It feels like standing at "the edge of the world," conversing with deities 🌊 (Tip: Check tide times—high tide transforms it into a dreamy waterscape!) 🍢 Local Favorites: Save Room for Kyushu's Cuisine Skip Tokyo's food hype! Kyushu’s *Hakata ramen* boasts broth so rich it coats your lips, *Nagasaki castella* is sweet yet light, and *yatai* night markets offer skewers and oden... Stroll and snack; the most authentic flavors live in these bustling alleys 🍢 💡 Travel Tip: Kyushu is perfect for *slow exploration*—link Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima... Each town hides surprises. Even 6 nights/7 days feels too short! Who *gets it*? Every day in Kyushu felt like stepping into an anime storyboard. I’ve been aggressively recommending it to friends 👊 Next time someone claims Japan travel is just Tokyo/Kyoto, hit them with this!

Nestled along the quiet coastline, this small fishing village offers an unforgettable encounter with nature. The dolphin swimming program is thoughtfully run, with friendly staff who are passionate about marine life and conservation. Before getting into the water, we received a short but informative briefing about dolphin behavior and how to interact with them respectfully. Safety and the well-being of the animals are clearly a top priority. Once in the water, the magic truly begins. Swimming with these intelligent, playful creatures was a surreal experience that we will never forget. The dolphins were curious and gentle, often coming up close, and we even got to touch and play with them under the guidance of the trainers. The water was calm and clear, making it easy to relax and truly enjoy the moment. The village of Youra itself is peaceful and scenic—worth exploring if you have some extra time. It’s not overly touristy, which makes the whole experience feel more personal and authentic. Tips: · Book in advance, especially during weekends or holidays. · Swimsuits and life jackets are provided, so no need to bring your own. Overall, this was a perfect one-day trip that combined adventure, nature, and a bit of local culture. Highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for something a little different in Kyushu, Japan.

One of the most anticipated transportation experiences during my visit to Kyushu, Japan, was taking the popular sightseeing train "Yufuin-no-Mori" from Hakata to Yufuin and Beppu in Oita Prefecture. The booking process for this train is actually very simple. I selected the departure time and seat through the official website of JR Kyushu, and received a confirmation email after payment. After boarding the Yufuin-no-Mori train, the atmosphere in the entire carriage made me feel very relaxed. The interior of the train has a strong European and elegant style. There are many pictures of Yufuin scenery and some exquisite details on the decoration. Walking in it feels like walking in the forest. The overall atmosphere makes people feel very comfortable. There are many facilities on the train and a variety of meals are provided to make the ride more enriching. I specially ordered the "Yufuin Wheeled Rice" for 1,000 yen (tax included). The portion was generous and the taste was quite delicious, which made me even happier when I enjoyed it in the car. Overall, the ride on the Yufuin Forest was very pleasant. Whether it was the comfortable carriage or the beautiful scenery outside the window, this trip was full of memories. If you also plan to go to Kyushu, be sure to book in advance and experience this beautiful sightseeing train for yourself! #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#Self-driving Self-driving is really a very convenient way to travel~~ Even if there are elders with you, it won’t be too hard! This time I mainly traveled in Kitakyushu, and planned to visit Aso and Kurokawa Onsen, which I had always wanted to visit (especially Kurokawa Onsen, which really requires a car to be convenient) D1 After getting off the plane, I rented a car and went directly to Yufuin Simply strolled around Yunotsubo Street and Kinrin Lake At night, I stayed in a hot spring hotel, ate well, slept well, and recharged my energy~ D2 After watching Kinrin Lake in the early morning, I set off for Kurokawa Onsen You can buy a hot spring at Kurokawa Onsen, and you can choose 3 of the 27 hotels to take a bath! Remember to bring your own towel. In addition, Kurokawa Onsen has a beautiful bamboo lantern festival every winter. If you happen to drive to Kyushu in winter, you can arrange to stay here for a night~~ Depart for Aso Volcano in the afternoon! The scenery on Mt. Aso is really beautiful~ But the weather here is very changeable The sun is out one second and it rains the next second Kusa Senri plus Aso crater is about 3 hours just right Check in at a hotel in Aso at night D3 Dream Forest Shrine-Kamiishiki Kumanoza Shrine It is recommended to come early in the morning to get the misty dream feeling~ After visiting the shrine, go to Fukuoka Itoshima, and arrive at Itoshima around noon Have a bowl of ramen and take a half-day tour of Itoshima And drive to the other side for salt pudding😂 D4 For lunch, I had a very unique Tofu Restaurant in Fukuoka, which is a century-old tofu specialty store! I felt refreshed after eating~ Walked to Miyajidake Shrine in the afternoon Before returning to Taiwan, I must go to Ichiran to pay homage~~ Although it was only four days, I felt it was worth it to see my parents having fun It’s super convenient to drive and not have to carry luggage around #九州旅游 #九州自驾 #100旅行方式 #dopamine旅行 #Aso #Itoshima #Kurokawa Onsen #Mameto #Ichiran Ramen Main Store

⛩️Sightseeing Train ⛩️ in Kyushu #TravelJapan Japan is a country famous for its excellent railway system. There are both fast Shinkansen and local trains from various companies. Japan also has a train called "sightseeing train". Sightseeing trains consist of luxury cars that run along some of the most beautiful railway routes in Japan. Each train is specially designed to show the region it passes through, allowing passengers to learn and enjoy the local culture. 📍 Sightseeing Trains in Kyushu📍 Compared to other places in Japan, Kyushu has many sightseeing trains, and attention is paid to the details on each train.

Driving from Fukuoka to Kurokawa Onsen, on the way through Ogunitown, I stumbled upon a popular local soba noodle shop, Yushin Handmade Soba. Despite being in the countryside, the business is booming, and without a reservation, you have to wait for half an hour. While wandering around nearby, I unexpectedly visited the ancient and towering trees of the Oguni Shrine, as well as the cherry blossom riverside spring, Keyaki Spring. The facade of Yushin Handmade Soba is very Zen, decorated with a row of wooden fences. Inside, there is an L-shaped workbench, and you can sit in the tatami seating area to watch the noodle-making process up close. From rolling the dough, boiling, chilling, topping, to plating, the chef's skillful techniques are truly impressive and entertaining. We ordered a tempura platter and beef donburi to go with the cold soba noodles, served in a bamboo sieve and eaten with dipping sauce. The noodles were smooth and slippery; the tempura was crispy and delicious, and the grilled beef was tender and juicy, making for an enjoyable combination with the cold soba noodles. Another bowl was the duck soba in soup, lush and green, with a sweet broth and tender duck meat; we also ordered a separate dish of dashi tamagoyaki, a warm egg roll rich with broth, which was very tasty. Finally, the chef scooped some noodle cooking water and added it to the remaining dipping sauce, transforming it into a fragrant broth. Taking a sip, it was truly fresh! A very delicious and interesting experience. Yushin Handmade Soba Business hours: 1100-1600 Address: 1635-5 Miyahara, Oguni, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-2501 Japan Average cost per person: 1000-2000 Japanese yen
