[I'll do railroad travel!] it's to Hakata from Beppu by "forest in YUFUIN". Beppu sightseeing, the scenery and an appetite are enjoyed.

Hello, of a cartoonist and a writer, "And, it'll become vacant, oh."
I take "some trains", and since Kyushu travel continues, gets on "forest in YUFUIN" after I take a Beppu excursion. Here is also a very popular sightseeing train. But, one with a meal, if, I don't say, so when I'd like to have a meal, it would be better to buy the box lunch, the snack and the light meal which are being sold to whether you prepare beforehand in the car.

I have reserved the Lunchboxes which is always received in the car beforehand. Surprisingly, Draft Beer is also sold.

I was staying in Yufuin, so I go to Beppu first. I had usually moved via Oita by train, but it's by bus this time. Well, there are no transfers, so the bus is easier.
More buses go to a starting point for a climb in Yufudake, so it's possible to see powerful Yufudake nearby.

I have arrived at Beppu station. I have free hand hot water in front of the station.
I leave the baggage with a rocker and move to Kannawa (can rope) by bus. There are many hot spring places and places where you can go sightseeing in Beppu, Kannawa can enjoy itself variously in the small area, and is for beginners. A bus flight to Kannawa has frequently departed.

The menu I'd like to eat is chosen and a meal ticket is bought first, and if the ingredients are prepared, that's put in "hellish iron pot" and it's steamed. The iron pot which was made so that a hellish iron pot might be steamed by steam of hot spring from the bottom. I may ask a person in a store to put it in and, by oneself, Experience, can. If it's put in, a timer is handed, and I wait for 15 minutes until it's steamed.

The hellish steamed dish finished here! The color is vivid. I put free bitter orange juice and salt with that and ate. When buying a special meal ticket, cheese and basil sauce can enjoy themselves. Whether it's that it was healthy and was steamed by steam of natural hot spring, just as, it's felt better.
By the way, non-alcoholic beer is sold at the vending machine, but alcohol isn't put.

I became full, so I'll take a walk. I go up a slope for about 10 minutes, and it's to famous "sea hell". This cobalt blue is the color I like most from the past. An ingredient of hot spring and ferrous sulfate dissolve, and this color is seen so. It's also put in hot spring which made such color real in Beppu.

After it was satisfied with a sea hell, "hellish steamed pudding" was eaten in "cafeteria UMI" in the outside. If they're these pudding and room temperature, surprisingly, it's kept for only 20 minutes. I have to eat at the place it means that.
The flavor of the egg and the butter was moderate for pudding, and a balance with caramel of calash pain was wonderful. I'd like to eat this again by all means.

Master of MICHIKU SA

"Hellish steamed pudding" is sold here and there in Beppu, so an eating bout may also be fun!

Beppu is a steamy town.

When I'm walking Kannawa, I'm surprised for steam to begin to spring with a wooden tree from a side ditch on the road. The volume of hot water of hot spring is rich evidence, isn't it? Cold weather, it looks moderate. There is also much layover hot water in this neighborhood.
It's possible to look at the state on which more steam is displayed that I go up to a hill here and there in the town. The view the town in hot spring and Beppu.

When a stomach calmed down, I go to "Kannawa ignoring hot water". Kannawa ignoring hot water is the steam bath which spreads herb as ishishou (I urge and shoulder.) all over a stone hut through steam of hot spring and enters. Before, I had also come here.

I change into a yukata, enter a stone hut and lie down. A body will be wrapped in the good fragrance of ishishou, and for 8 minutes, is heated up with JIWA-. After having gone out, I have a good sweat by hot spring and end it. Feeling is refreshed and recommends.
Now, I return to Beppu station district with today's inn by bus again.

When I lie on the hay (ishishou) at a small place, the feeling which became Heidi a girlhood of Alps can be tasted♪.

On the next day, Beppu is mostly sunny! I decided to go up to "Beppu tower" in fine good which is that. The television tower of height 100m where a Beppu tower was built for the 3rd in Japan. Don't you think the design is similar to a Tokyo tower? Mr. Tachuu Naito called the same "tower doctor" as a Tokyo tower designed this so.

There is a sea for the scenery seen from observatory in a Beppu tower, and there is a mountain. A hotel is also built much and I know the state which prospers as hot spring place. I have come Beppu many times, the moment there is much hot spring which isn't in this yet, I have to come again! The decision was made new.

Master of MICHIKU SA

There are much famous Takegawara hot spring and others and layover hot water in the area to which you can walk from Beppu station.

Now, even Hakata Station takes a sightseeing train "forest in YUFUIN" from Beppu station today. I took it after a long time, so I was looking forward to it.
There is 2 organization of "I generation" and "III generation" in a forest in YUFUIN, and it's "I generation" that I take it this time. A forest in YUFUIN usually passes through Yufuin-Hakata space, the day when 3 round trip moves for 1 day runs to only number 3 or 4 on flight 2 between Beppu-Hakata.

There is a hot spring mark, and the station name mark in Beppu station is pretty. And would an expensive one know the position of a forest number in YUFUIN which stops at a home and a window? The height of the seat calls this the high decker structure, and becomes higher than 1.7 meters and a usual train. In other words, it's said that the scenery tends to see only that.

Poshness in a stately long-established store wanders a forest of a tree and YUFUIN which consists of green and gold. In the sightseeing train of JR Kyushu running between "I generation of forest in YUFUIN", the most senior. The seat is soft and I sit down and please.

I wanted to reserve the first before seat a front view can enjoy actually, it has been popular and has not come. A forest in YUFUIN takes it several times, only when I took that the seat could be reserved for the first time. It's a platinum ticket already.

It's made here and there in the car now using a real tree. A railway vehicle usually worries about fire and often avoids a wood, it's in the car with the warmth by mixing and using a tree.

More sausages were added to the draft beer and the snack. It's only I generation of forest in YUFUIN that there is a Draft Beer server. It isn't in III generation. Bought sausage, "the crown lot division sausage you put". It's better to be able to eat something local easily, isn't it?

Master of MICHIKU SA

A place with a Draft Beer server is also the reason that I generation is liked.

A train is turned big at Yufuin station, so Yufudake is looked at from the various angles. I was in car 4 of tag end, so I told Yufudake I'm leaving for the back of separation after I crossed Yufuin station.

I got off at Bungomori Station and passed each other with a III generation of forest in NOYUFUIN. When I wave my hand, it's the person who shakes that back. Such encounter is fun.
I look at the "Jion's waterfall" where more legends of a dragon are here from a car window. The crew showed a highlight, and a train went slowly, so photograph could also be taken securely.

This day is hot weather, and if I'm bathed in a positive from a window, it has become completely hot. Then an iced store on the train was doing exactly. The best timing!
Bought one, "my egg ice cream" and "YUFUIN Soda Pop". YUFUIN Soda Pop was attracted by the character of the logo wind and the color of the forest in YUFUIN, and the place where a picture of the forest in YUFUIN is drawn by a lid liked ice.

If I'm a railway fan, it's whether a design includes a railroad more than the taste one would like to eat, and there are many decided things.

Travel for 3 hours and a half when I had a good time also ends at last. It's arrival in Hakata Station. If it's from Yufuin, it's a little for 2 hours to Hakata, you can take it long from Beppu. The type which would like to take a train as lengthily as possible.

Because a forest in YUFUIN is Limited Express, there are a lot of people who choose as the means of the movement, too. My occasion would like to enjoy the design of the train, an appetite, the scenery and everything up. I think that's the attraction which takes a sightseeing train.
