11/20午前中に延岡を出発して、日向新富駅へ。日豊線の海側がきれいでした。
日向新富駅の近くの食堂でお昼。かつ丼セット１０００円で、丁寧に作られていておいしかったです。
11/20の１８時前に宮崎へ。
丸万焼鳥本店とグリル爛漫へ梯子。おぐら本店よりもおいしかったです。
エリアワン宮崎で宿泊したのですが、朝食はおいしかったです。特に炭火焼鳥炊き込みご飯は絶品。
取引先の人と、「鰻楽」でウナギ料理を食べてきました。そのあとホテルに置いている荷物を取りに行くために、宮崎県庁の建物を見てきました。戦前の豪華な建物。
空港に戻る前に、オグラ本店で夕食。隣は、アジア系アメリカ人のインバウンド客でした。チェーン店になっているので、グリル爛漫や直ちゃんの方がはるかに美味しいです。個人店の方がいいですね。
羽田空港行最終便に乗ったのですが、満席でした。１１月でも混むのは意外でした。
11月17日、１８日は大分にいたので、それらを書き留めます。
早朝の羽田便を使って、大分空港へ。プレミアムがエコノミーと変わらなったので、プレミアムを利用。富士山も含めてきれいでした。
ランチは、JALホテル大分のバイキング。あまり良い食材を使っていないので、次はないかなあと思います。
１８日のお昼は町の中華や。とり天やちゃんぽんが有名です。ちゃんぽんおいしかった。
朝食と夕食はホテルで。夕食は、関アジと豊後牛ステーキにしました。古いホテルでしたが、温泉もあるので、リラックスできました。
Yoron island in Kagoshima Prefecture is the best resort place in clean sea water, much better than Okinawa, Ishigaki, Miyakojima.
It takes only 35-minute flight from Naha Airport, 2-hour in taking ferry from Motobu, Okinawa.
The best place in the island is Yurigahama, which is the land at a low tide during a limited period between spring and autumn. It takes 3000yen in round trip each person to go to the island by boat.
If you arrive at Naha Okinawa airport, I will recommend you to eat in Fish restaurant “Uomaru” “魚まる”. This restaurant is within 5-minute walk from Akamine station, just one stop from airport station. The restaurant provide with fish set including raw fish “sashimi” around 1000yen.
Shuri Soba Okinawa Noodle near Shuri castle is very popular not only for tourists but for locals. Even in July before Japanese summer vacation, many people visited this shop.
Okinawa noodle is the first choice. Most of visitors order “Jushi” rice with noodle.
Shirokuma shave ice with condensed milk is very popular in Kagoshima. Mujyaki in Tennmonkan area is the first choice. However several shops prepare for variety of Shirokuma ices.
Most of visitor for Shuri castle are foreign tourists especially Chinese and Korean. By COVID-19 and bad relationship with Korea, almost visitors are Japanese or foreigners living in Japan. Tourists do not visit the park especially main buildings even though tourists can officially travel between prefectures since June 19, 2020. Probably they are not interested in burn-out castle in 2019.
Japanese government has officially allowed tourists to travel between prefectures, fter June 19th, 2020. Even after this day, the half of shops in Kokusai street in Naha were closed because they have targeted foreign tourists especially Chinese tourists.
Most of flights to Haha has been full of Japanese passengers especially weekend. However, they stay in other area such as northern Okinawa without staying in Naha. Even Japanese tourists do not return to Naha any more, unless the shops in Kokusai focus on not only foreign tourist but Japanese.
I stayed at Kirishima Kanko Hotel 4 times in March, May and June this year. This hotel relatively provides reasonable prices in Kirishima Hotspring compared with Kirishima Hotel and Kirishima Kokusai Hotel. Especially, staying in weekday between Monday and Thursday is much cheaper than in weekend. I paid 17,500 yen per night, in weekday price, for two, including dinner and breakfast.
This Hotel provides Japanese Kaiseki-style dinner and buffet breakfast. Breakfast is on average.
I recommend taking outdoor baths in Northern building rather than larger bathes in Central building.
