We had a late start. After having breakfast/lunch, Wataru took us to Yutoku Inari Shrine which was about 40 minutes away from home. However, the traffic was terrible so we tried different routes but everywhere was the same. We had to give up and decided to go back. It was near the Ariake sea so we just went down to have a look.
Wataru found a good spot to visit on the way home. It was called Kiyomizu waterfall. Yes, it is like Kiyomizu temple but Kiyomizu means pure water so it there are many places called Kiyomizu something.
We didn't see many people there. Probably everybody went to Youtoku Inari Shrine which we couldn't go.
We were planning to visit Noriko's mum's sister Yasuko but Wataru had to go back to Fukuoka so we went home.
When we were about to get home we saw Noriko's mum on the bike getting home as well.
We told her that we couldn't visit Yasuko's so she made a phone call to say sorry.
Well, she decided to come and visit us.. not only her but all her tribe.
It was too hard for Mike to remember everybody's name but they were happy to see us anyway.
After they went home we had more food and watched Yuri on Ice.

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.
