One of the best part of this trip was "Kurokawa spa", where is famous as spa in tasteful nature. We stayed beautiul annex located alongside river. At Kurokawa, you can buy spa-passport which allows visitors to take 3 different hotel's spa among variety of Onsens in the village.
Not only spa, foods (again! laughter..) which is full of fresh and local vegetable are too great to forget words to describe. I have to add even breakfast was awesome so that we ate too much in the morning.

Summer Trip2
We moved up to Kumamoto for sightseeing. Kumamoto was once governed by many famous histrical charactors, and there is "Kumamoto catsle" which is counted among the most beautiful three catsle in Japan. Not only its appearance, recently restored interior was also amazingly magnificent.
Of course, we cannot stop finding local delicious foods here, too, where famous of raw horse meat (photo), and musterd lotus root. Needless to say, they were very delicious!!
After trottering downtown, we drove ahead to Kurokawa, hidden scenic spa spot inland Kumamoto. On the way, we stopped at Aso mountain, which is famous as caldera volcano.Unfortunately, it started raining, and we can hardly see the crator, but we enjoyed fresh milk icecream.

Summer Trip1
For the summer golden vacation, I went to Kyushu (The southern island in Japan) trip with my friends. It's fantastic!!! I totally was refreshed by driving, chatting, and delicious local cuisine.
Entering the island by flight, we landed at Kagoshima, where the shouthernmost pref. in Kyushu. Kagoshima is famous of "Shochu", a kind of Japanese Sake, and also great menu of food, raw slice of "Kibinago" (pond herring) with ponzu sause, and famous "Satsuma-age" which I felt astonishingly different from that I ate at Tokyo, of course this local one was better!
After eating dreaming dinner, we rushed into super-express, Tsubame, and went to Kumamoto, the next distination. I have to add gorgeousness of the train, the seats are really wodden, with elaborative embroidery, and the blind is made by rush, which is also famous products in Kyushu. I've never seen such a rich-taste car!
