March 21, 2015 - Kunisaki Peninsula
I wanted to make a tour of Kyushu instead of just going back and forth, so I had some time to visit the Kunisaki Peninsula. Lacking a car or even a license, I decided to join a tour for the first time in my life. Wanting to travel alone most of the time I was a bit afraid, but as there were not many participants and as enough time was left for lonesome exploring my fear was unjustified.
It is a Japanese tour though, so the pace was quite fast and I had to stick the plan.
But with the very spacious Hachiman Jingu, the simplistic Fujiki Temple (with interesting ancient drawing in the interior) and the carvings at Kumano Magaibutsu the tour had enough interesting places to offer. Other stops were Maki Odo with 3 amazing statues and Futagoji.
The bus stopped at Beppu on the way back, so I got off to take a soak in the onsen of my hotel. My actual visit of Beppu would start the next day, but as a manhole lover I was pleasantly surprised by the numerous designs: one manhole design for every month!
