Yufugawa Valley→Tuetate Onsen/Spa (Oita/Kumamoto) Kyushu

The next day after enjoying the Kannawa Hot Spa(Onsen), I rent a motorcycle to “Tuetate Hot Spring → Hita (Mameda)”.
You can rent a car.
You can move to “Tuetate Onsen/Spa” or “Hita” by public transportation.

1.Yufugawa Valley

First of all I visited the Yufugawa Valley.
According to information gained in advance, there are places where the road has been stopped due to the landslide that occurred in the summer of 2015 / Kumamoto · Oita earthquake (January 2017).
So I head to “Tsubaki entrance”.

I reached “Tsubaki entrance” and I was able to get off to the Yufugawa Valley.
I decided to think that I am happy just by it

There is a lot of ” Steam spot” around the town in Tuetate Onsen.
You can eat luxurious steamed dish on a daily.

there was a hospitable regional cuisine “Sweet egg”.
“Sweet egg” was like the current “Putting”.
So they started to do hospitality with “Pudding” in Tuetate Onsen.

There are some hotels and ryokan which seem to be in ruins.

What is dedicated to the Momiji Bridge (?) is “votive picture of carp” instead of “votive picture of horse”.
Speaking of Tuetate Onsen, it is the birthplace of the “Koinobori(carp banner) Festival” lined up over the river.
If you look closely, there is also “votive picture of bear (Kumamon)”.
