On a stroll around town we saw this famous ex-sumo star who was filming some advertising commercials for Yufuin. We had to get a picture with him. I am standing on a slope, he is enormous.
We stayed in a traditional ryokan. This particular one had a private outside onsen that we used and this restaurant also. Yes we are eating Shabu shabu while our feet are immersed in hot water... a foot onsen at the table... amazing!
Us in Yukata... and what the hell is a huge moose doing in this place?
Richard and Shintani in front of the Kouyo... changing leaves! I think these happened to be momiji!Same place, different time and reason:
I went for a day hike in Yufuin. I hiked the city's famous twin peaks, called Yufu-dake. And had a nice onsen afterwards (just following in Eric's footsteps!)
Nice leaves that I saw that day
At at the summit junction
View of Kuju-san (volcano) rising above the clouds
The approach, from the junction, to Nishi-dake (the west peak), using chains
Me at the top of a windy Higashi-dake (east peak)
The twin peak from a lower level, on the descent
The peak from a smaller, hidden trail that had me bushwhacking for 30 minutes!
