Another tour to Beppu

Too tour to Beppu round 2 with four friends from Fukuoka and Singapore. I appreciate the ten-year-long friendship. We went to see devil's pools and hot spring crystal production sites.

The steam coming up from everywhere in town was pretty surprising to them, it seems. So was the fact that a lot of households have their own hot spring pipeline, just like normal water or gas supply. I grew up in the neighboring city and am quite used to it, but their excited smile reminded me of the awe.

It was a little too early for the most dominant variety of cherry blossom, but we were able to see another one full in bloom.

It became rainy and sunny many times on that day, making the locals say the sky is as busy as they are (during the peak travel season; on Sunday, spring break for families and graduation holiday for graduates).

We had s wonderful time! Hope to see them again soon. And it's the end of March. A quarter of the year is done (!)
