JP Kyushu onsen 2020 Jan (Part 3)

After checkout on the next morning I drove eastward to Yufuin, about 160km away – D1 of using the KEP. Dropped by Hida town for breaks and lunch along the way. It was raining and probably snowing on the expressway. Snow was on mountains/trees but not on roads.

Went for Unagi and ordered Hitsumabushi-style – our fav on a cold day.

Strolled around the small town after lunch but not for long as it was cold around 2C and drizzling.

 

Returned to Yufuin (5th time) and had coffee in Snoopy Cafe again before checkin.

 

Checked into an onsen hotel in Yufuin – in a small mountainous area where onsen is in slight bluish colour (2nd stay) and also smooth for skin complexion !  Elsewhere in Yufuin onsen is transparent.

Booked an Italian dinner course for a break. The restaurant was in the onsen town so had to meander slowly downhill via narrow road allowing 1+ car to pass thru’.

Dinner was delicious using local and Italian sources. Apart from us it seemed there were other customers though seated in a separate room. Had more than enough privacy and good service.

 

checked out on the next morning with clear views of Mt Yufuin and head to Kunisaki Peninsula.
