Takeo Library: A spring romance hidden in a quiet countryside

#FukuokaItinerary

During the cherry blossom season, I accidentally saw a flight ticket to Saga within 1,000 yen. After some research, I learned about Takeo, a #quiet little village. Although I got very little information at first, I came to Takeo with the mentality of making the best of it.

After arriving, I checked into the Ekimai Hotel. Although the room is small, the layout is very warm, the breakfast is also quite delicious, and there is a hot spring on the 8th floor♨️. The key is that it can be reached as soon as you get out of the station, which is very convenient.

The hotel also provides free bicycle rental services. Riding a bicycle through the country roads, there are picturesque scenery all the way. Behind the gate of Takeo Hot Spring Building, the large cherry blossom forest is eye-catching, which attracted me to stop and watch. The cherry blossom forest in front of the library is well-arranged, and it complements the quaint buildings. It is full of literary and artistic atmosphere and makes people linger. What amazed me most was the cherry blossom tunnel in front of En'eiji Temple. Even though it has not yet fully bloomed, the faint pink flower shadows are enough to make me deeply intoxicated.

In the evening, I rode to the entrance of the shrine. The night cherry blossoms lit up by lights were like a dream, adding a touch of romance to the journey. Back to the hotel, I took a hot spring bath, and my fatigue disappeared instantly.

This day, all the experiences in Takeo were perfect! I was full of expectations and looked forward to the wonderful journey to Yutoku Inari Shrine and Ureshino Hot Springs♨️ the next day.
