★●Hot Spring Trip♨ to Saga, Japan●★
A day with feathers as light as air.
It was a particularly sunny day for lunch.
I was craving Japanese-style pork cutlet, even though I don't really like it that much ㅋㅋ
My idea of Japanese-style is something super crispy, with a really crispy color, and that satisfying crunch when you bite into it, like that kind of Doon-kkas!
If I tell the guys, they'll just say let's go eat some rice, so I texted our Japanese sales team's deputy manager.
"Deputy Manager, how about some Japanese pork cutlet?"
"Sounds good!! Let's go together ㅋㅋ"
I searched online and found a delicious pork cutlet place near our office!! It's the kind of place where you have to wait in line.
I walked there, and as expected, there was a line a mile long.
Luckily, I didn't have to wait too long to get in and ordered a set.
A draft beer is also a must.
The weather is too nice today not to get a draft beer.
Yeah, nothing much going on today anyway, so we decided to just share this one beer and not make it look like we're drinking ㅋㅋ
The pork cutlet here is so delicious ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
The sunshine outside is beautiful too ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
It's a feeling of leisure I haven't felt in ages ㅜㅜ
I had no idea I could enjoy pork cutlet this much...
The portions were generous, so we ate slowly and talked about Japan.
The Deputy Manager speaks Japanese fluently and is in charge of sales, so he goes on business trips to Tokyo a lot, and I've been there twice, so I said that I'm now craving a quiet place, like a hot spring trip♨, somewhere like Saga.
Then suddenly,
The Deputy Manager said he also wanted to go on a hot spring trip to Saga or someplace like that, but everyone's schedule was too busy, so he couldn't go.,
and that if we looked for flights, there are cheap ones, and let's go together!!! Let's find some!!!
Yes!!!!!
I haven't even used up my summer vacation yet.
It's already October ㅋㅋ What am I so busy with, I kept putting off taking vacation, waiting for the head office to call, but I should just take it now.
My mind has been restless since Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) ended.
I'm filled with the desire to quit my job, just like everyone else says.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But I use that saying a lot lately ㅋㅋ
Let's go, let's go!!!!!!
Let's go to Japan!!!!!!!!
The Deputy Manager asked if he had any hot spring places in mind, or any areas he wanted to go to, and I said that I just wanted to go to a place with cheap flights and a traditional Japanese inn with dark brown rooms.
Oh, that's called a ryokan ㅋㅋ
So that's what a ryokan is.
A traditional Japanese tatami room.
Deputy Manager, is this the kind of ryokan you first sent me a picture of?
Hey!!!!!!!!
헐!!!! It's the same!!!!!
But is it just me, or is this giving me some kind of dirty thoughts??
Why does it feel like something out of an adult video........
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The Deputy Manager said that because of me, he's going to think of adult videos whenever he sees a ryokan now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The flights are amazing.
It's practically the same price as a Busan-Seoul KTX ticket, and it's a 1 hour 20 minute flight.
We have to go.
I can't not go.
So we're going on a Japanese hot spring ryokan trip♨!!!
It's the Ureshino hot spring in Saga Prefecture♨!!
One of the top 3 hot springs in Japan, the Ureshino hot spring~~~♨, where you become a beauty!
And they say if you take a bus from Saga for 40-50 minutes, you reach Fukuoka.
So our 2-night, 3-day hot spring trip to Japan is!!!!
Day 1: Arrive at Saga Airport. Take a jumbo taxi to Ureshino and check into the ryokan. Enjoy the ryokan.
Day 2: Check out of the ryokan. Take a bus to Fukuoka. Check into a Fukuoka hotel. Explore Fukuoka.
Day 3: Check out of the hotel. Explore Fukuoka. Depart from Fukuoka Airport.
Yay Yay Yay

There are so many Koreans in Saga and Fukuoka that it was easy to find Korean tourist maps and menus!

Fukuoka seems like it's being kept afloat by Koreans.
The hotel!!
★●Ureshino Ryokan♨●★
The ryokan in Saga Ureshino is the one where they give you a yukata!
Hotel Kasuien Ureshino (Hotel Kasuien / 華翠苑)
★●Fukuoka Hakata Hotel●★
In Fukuoka, it's the Hakata Green Hotel No. 2, which is super close to Hakata Station - the best location!
Hakata Green Hotel No. 2
I was super satisfied with both of my accommodation choices this time.
Both deserve five stars!!!!!★★★★★

And it's so much easier to travel when you're with someone who speaks the language...
Arigato gozaimasu~~
My English was useless ㅋㅋ
I was busy imitating the Deputy Manager's Japanese and tone ㅋㅋ
But now I can say a few essential Japanese phrases for my trips to Japan ㅋㅋ
Now I'm best at "Wakari mashita. Arigato gozaimasu maaaas"
I used to only know Hajimemashite, Yoroshiku, Wakari mashita, Kawaii, Sugoi, Itadakimasu, Sou desu ne, Nandayo, Nippon, Usoske, Naruhoudou, Yukata...
My Japanese has gotten a lot richer from traveling with the Deputy Manager ㅋㅋ
And this has made me want to learn Japanese too!!!!
I've been writing down everything he says in my notepad.

Visiting the Asahi Brewery in FukuokaI'm also looking forward to the Asahi Brewery tour, and I'm so excited for my first hot spring trip and my first ryokan.
I don't think I'll ever find a deal like this again ㅋㅋ
It's also because it's a weekday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but the timing is perfect!!!!
It was the perfect time for a hot spring trip♨ ㅋㅋ
The Saga we're going to!
Saga Prefecture in Kyushu (Kyu-shu) region.
An hour's drive southeast of Fukuoka, which you've probably heard of.
I watched an official video about Saga Prefecture.
There's the Saga International Balloon Fiesta, the biggest one in the world.
There's also canoeing.
In a small town called Ureshino, there's
Shibolt's foot bath♨, free 24 hours a day
Toyotamahime Shrine.
They say it's there, too.
I looked at a Korean tourist brochure for Saga ㅋㅋ.
They say the Ureshino hot spring♨ is one of the top 3 hot springs in Japan. Beauty water!!
I wonder what's different about water with sodium, bicarbonate, and chloride in it ㅋㅋ.
Honestly, I have no idea.
I love tofu, so I'm really looking forward to the hot spring tofu♨ too!!
They say there's a special filming DNA exhibition that's the first of its kind, from September 29th to November 5th.
But of course, I won't be able to see everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I'm just going to enjoy the ryokan in Ureshino!!!!!!
They say hotel check-in in Japan is usually at 3 pm.
I'll be taking an early morning flight to Saga Airport, so I'll have to wander around a bit before check-in.
I didn't buy these for my trip to Japan, because it was so sudden, but I'm going to wear all the new clothes and earrings I bought!!!
