Episode of Hizenya hotel & Tsuetate-onsen hot spring
One of our family invited us there because Hizenya Hotel was famous and historical hot spring in Kumamoto. Hot spring was good. Foods were good. Location was good. Especially we liked the view from the window in the restaurant hall for the breakfast.
Decoration inside the hotel was very Japanese. We could enjoy Japanese atomosphere.
Surprisingly, we found the border inside the hotel ! We passed the border between Kumamoto and Oita many times. :-))
We walked around the Tsuetate-onsen hot spring area. There were narrow back streets called "Sedoya" [Japanese: 背戸屋]. We felt like we were back in old Japan. It was fun to discover the small shops. People were very kind. It was nice time-trip walk.
Tomo&Chouchou's advice for Tsuetate-onsen hot spring
Tsuetate-onsen hot spring is a good place if you want to enjoy old Japan atmosphere. Especially, if you walk narrow back street called Sedoya, you feel you are in the showa period of Japan.

People with their sticks came for hot spring in this town. This hot spring cured them, then they left their sticks when they go back. So Tsuetate-onsen hot spring is very effective.
