Hi there! 39 and 42 year olds here! Last year my husband and I had gone to Japan for two weeks and one of our first stops after Fukuoka was a super remote and non touristy place called Amagase Onsen. Since I have tattoos, it was semi hard finding spots to get the onsen experience. We were already going to Kinosaki Onsen later that week but feeling tired we wanted to stop at Amagase before heading to Hita Japan to try out our very first onsen. But these were really public! Like on the side of the river that locals use that were also coed and didn't discriminate against tattoos. So when we got there we saw that one of the 7 along the banks was empty. Not for long though! As we made our way down to it, two little old local men also had the same idea and there we were, all 4 of us, in our birthday suits and while I was a little nervous, it all melted away as soon as we made small broken conversations with them. What an experience! We're heading to Hakone in Feb 2025 and really excited for it. I grew up watching anime and that's where Evangelion was also based off of in the series. Awesome video!
That sounds like such a cool experience! I watched your Kinosaki video - it was fantastic. Did you make a video on the Amagase Onsen. Reading your description painted a picture in my mind, so I'm just curios of what it looked like. Cheers!
@@MMTravelJournal aww thanks for watching our Kinosaki video. That place is really awesome and want to head back there. And yes our Amagase Onsen should be on the list too. It's titled under "Amagase Onsen." To respect the locals we didn't video that experience but the little town is so beautiful. Super easy to get to from Fukuoka. ruclips.net/video/AIQkHfzxVyg/видео.htmlsi=r_MDBK46DTmNTbdm
I don’t know how I missed that. Just watched - I love it. What really appeals to me is it’s not crawling with tourists. I marked it on my google maps. So if I find myself in Fukuoka in the future, I might check it out.
@@MMTravelJournal So it def gets packed during their summer festivals. It looks so pretty too. They have lanterns hanging all over the river area. We would love to go back there and really enjoy it. They have a few ryokan and hotels there too. Not this trip in Feb but the next time we go, we're heading to the Kyushu area to enjoy more of the countryside again.
Hahaha, loved the opening line. And the lady laughing and probably thinking "You F're why you put me and not tell me we're still recording.
It made me laugh, I had to include it - lol!
