"Onsen-ryokou"

Last Saturday and Sunday, I had a roadtrip with my family to an "onsen" in Kumamoto prefecture(熊本県). The accommodation where we stayed locates in an area named "Ota-onsen"(小田温泉) near famous "Kurokawa-onsen"(黒川温泉).

I took several photos in this trip. There are not interesting scenes in these photos, but you can see beautiful "green" in Japan in this season.

Hi, Bikenglish! Sorry, I've been a bit behind on my blogs recently. ^_^ I'll catch up later on this weekend.

That greenery that you mentioned is gorgeous. Those sorts of views might be my favorite part of Japan. I find them captivating and I hope that I'll be able to live in a semi-rural place with some greenery one day.

Looking at your photos, it almost felt like I was walking around that town.

Lenin-san,

Thank you for posting a comment. I am looking forward to seeing your photos taken in Spain.

Jon-san,

These photos was taken in "Mameda-machi, city of Hita, Oita prefecture"(大分県日田市豆田町)by mainly my daughter. The town is a very sight-seeing place "kankou-chi"(観光地). It remains the atmosphere of traditional towns.

Nice to see the photos posted here. Kumamoto is, not exactly, but vaguely close to where I'll be staying for a year (coming up next month). Always interesting to read/see people blogging about the surrounding area there. I have to admit that my knowledge of regions in Kyushu hasn't been too good up until more recently (when chosen for the exchange program I'll be on).
