We were thinking about going to Chikura no iwa cave but the weather wasn't great and it was impossible to get there unless we had a car so we decided not to go there and just chilax today. After having breakfast, we went back to bed.. well I should say went back to futon and slept until almost midday.
When we were leaving, the house owner said that his wife wanted to see us and she owns an Okonomiyaki restaurant near the house. Noriko told him that we were planning to go to the okonomi restaurant tonight anyway. She didn't tell him that we sat on a bench in front of the restaurant to have dinner from hotto motto which was across from the restaurant.
Snowy(we forgot his name so we gave him a nickname) came out to say goodbye to us when we were going out.
When we walked in the okonomi restaurant, she seemed to know who we were and about to give us the two okonomiyaki she was already cooking. We were a bit confused because we just left the house and it was already done. It turned out that they were for the customer and herself but we couldn't eat meat so she started again for us.
It was Hiroshima style okonomiyaki which requires a lot of process.
This is the final form. We enjoyed it and also watched NHK TV drama on Tokyo Olympic.
We went to the Nishimura port to get our ferry tickets to go to Yakushima.
On the way to the gun museum we found Taiyaki.
We got to the gun museum but it was 400yen entrance fee and we didn't have much time until they close so we decided to give it a miss.
We walked and walked to get to the other side of town to find the only convenience store in the island to pay for the bus ticket from Kagoshima to Fukuoka after the rocket launch but the booking number was somehow wrong and could not pay. It is a great system if it works. We had our dessert at the Family Mart and walked all the way back to the town. On the way home we went to a drugstore and 100yen shop to find a nail clipper for Mike.
We were tempted to get our dinner at the convenience store and the supermarket but we ended up with going back to Hotto Motto and had the same food again.
We ate it on the stairs of the shrine we went last night.
Saw this strange lights at the harbour from the distance but ever found out what it was.

We decided to go to Shiratani unsuikyo because it might rain tomorrow and we might not be able to visit there if it rains a lot. On the bus on the way up, the bus driver spotted some monkeys and stopped for us to take some photos. How nice! We ordered this onigiri (rice-ball) lunch in a bamboo leaf. Noriko could not wait until lunchtime and had one in ohara town where we chenged the bus. Dinner on the way home featured the local fisherman's flying fish. It was delicious! It was 1300yen including the dessert.

We caught the first ferry back to start an epic trip to Kamikatsuchou. Our ducks came out for lunch. We got a lift from our next hosts to save us from some bus hopping to get to this tiny mountain village. It is famous for its recycling efforts, and people come from all over Japan to learn how to improve their local recycling programs. A lot of effort at the recycling centre goes into sorting things into hundreds of categories. Onsen food for a very early dinner. The homestay at a local farm was fantastic.
