Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted

I took the Hakata bus that departed at 09:17 and arrived at Yufuin Forest at 11:31. Maybe there were few tourists at that time, so I only reserved a seat three days ago and was able to get a seat to and from Yufuin Forest. In fact, there were quite a lot of empty seats.

There is a leisure carriage in Yufuin Forest. In addition to the seats, there are also shops where you can buy food, drinks and souvenirs. There are no designated seats here. You can sit as long as there is space. If you want to come here, come as early as possible to avoid running out of seats. You will pass many scenery along the way, so you don’t have to worry about missing the must-see scenery on the bus. The staff will announce the instructions when you are about to pass the scenic spot.

【Food】
1. Milch: Hot half-cooked cheesecake, really delicious! ! ! ! It’s been two years, and I still miss it and want to eat it again.
2. Jinshang Croquette + Juji Croquette: Both of these restaurants are very famous and I wanted to eat them, so I ate from both of them. I had the cream crab flavor of the Jinshang Croquette and the Bungo beef flavor of the Juchi Croquette. Croquettes, I don’t know why they have such strong staying power, but I still want to eat them from time to time after a few days.
3. Jiwu Nakatsu Fried Chicken Specialty Store: I didn’t want to eat it at first, but when I passed by there were so many people queuing up, I couldn’t help but buy it too. The portion was a bit too much for one person, so I ordered the yuzu pepper flavor, now The fried chicken is very hot and the chicken is full of aroma and delicious.
4. Yufu Mabushi Kokoro Toyogo Beef Three Eats: After eating so many snacks before, I still have to eat the main event. I am looking forward to the Toyogo Beef. When I first ate it, I thought it was so delicious! But halfway through eating, I started to feel very greasy, to the point where I felt like vomiting. Maybe it’s because I don’t like greasy meat very much. Eat three meals of kamameshi: the first bowl is eaten plain without any ingredients; the second bowl is eaten with wasabi, yuzu pepper and other seasonings; the third bowl is made with soup added to make Ochazuke rice. Personally, I prefer eating the plain rice.
【Attractions】
1. Yunotsubo: Yunotsubo Street is about a 10-minute walk from Yufuin Station. There are souvenir shops, cafes and famous snacks on the streets.
2. Floral Village: There are many fairy tale village-style shops in the park, like fairy tales in Europe, which are very special.
3. Jinlin Lake: In autumn, it is a resort where maple leaves are in full bloom. I went there at the end of October and saw nothing, but I can still feel how beautiful it will be when the maple leaves are in full bloom. There are walking trails around Jinlin Lake. It was very relaxing to take a walk while admiring the beautiful lake view.
