The last morning.
I took this picture while waiting for my friend in a small park on my way to eat abura soba.
Japanese trees in spring have a unique atmosphere with a baby green color that I have never seen before.

 
Usagi (兎) specialized in abura soba (油そば専門 兎)

Abura = oil, so it's soba with oil drizzled over it and mixed.
You can order your desired food from the vending machine and eat it after.

Exterior and interior of Usagi (兎) abura soba - It seems like 8-10 people can sit at the counter seats.

Vending machine - I got regular size, egg, green onions,

First, put the money corresponding to the amount and press the button on the vending machine.
I recommend regular size (top left) because the noodles are also plentiful!
And since it's oily soba, it can get a bit greasy as you eat, so I added green onions.
Although not here, I added onions when I ate abura soba elsewhere, and it was delicious, so I recommend onions too!

 
When you add green onions, they are added in thin strips, and the onions that come standard are thinly sliced.

The point is to quickly mix it by turning the vinegar twice and the chili oil twice before it cools down!
Definitely, when I first mixed only the oil and ate it, it was a bit greasy and tasteless, but when I put vinegar and chili oil on it, the flavor and savory taste came out, and it was delicious.

Besides vinegar and chili oil, there are various other spices, and you can add them as you like. It was so delicious that I finished it all!

I highly recommend it because it's a taste I couldn't experience in Korea!
(But be careful, if you add green onions, your mouth will be spicy all day! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ)

Amu Plaza (AMU PLAZA)

I had 1-2 hours left before getting on the Shinkansen at Kumamoto Station, so I decided to take a look around.
Amu Plaza is right in front of Kumamoto Station, making it a good place to buy souvenirs in Kumamoto or stop by briefly before getting on a train.
 
There are coin lockers lined up right in front of Kumamoto Station, so we left our suitcases there and walked around.

It was easy to leave our luggage because it was well explained even in Korean.
The locker I used was 600 yen, and it could hold a carry-on size luggage.
And when you retrieve your luggage, you need to check with the QR code on that paper, so be sure to keep it safe. I took a picture of it with my phone just in case I lost it. It opens as long as the QR code is entered correctly!
 
 
Now, time to explore Amu Plaza!

The hometown of the One Piece author is Kumamoto, so you can see One Piece goods along with Kumamon quite often.

The atmosphere of Amu Plaza

There are also many select shops where you can see Japanese fashion, places that sell unique bags, and many character goods.
The Snoopy Town Shop was so great for me, a Snoopy fan!
 
Gather here, gather here! There are lots of Snoopy goods!
My sisters also got Snoopy tote bags, lol. There were many unique items that were good for gifts as well.

I also bought a Snoopy sticker, and I got the Miffy tape from the Miffy shop next door, lol.

 
And there was a Snow Peak store, so I got a pair of tongs!

When I asked my husband if he wanted anything, he immediately said Snow Peak tongs, which was so funny, lol. I bought it and I use it so much. He keeps saying the tension is different, lol.
And it was paid with LINE Pay so I bought it without cash. (Naver app > On-site Payment > LINE Pay payment. No commission! Awesome!)
It was paid 25,910 Korean won.

Kumamon everywhere, lol. He's kind of silly, but he's so cute, lol.

 
Home!

Goodbye, spring Kumamoto! I'll miss you!

And the waiting hell, lol.

The baggage opening at Fukuoka Airport Jeju Air starts 2 hours before the flight, so
There is nothing to do even if you come early, so it's a waiting hell...
But if you want to check your luggage early, it's better to line up 2 and a half hours before the flight!
 
And there aren't many places to eat, so it's better to stock up on sandwiches or something to eat at the convenience store on the first floor.
 
I had so much fun with my sisters and friends on this trip,
It was really happy to have a peaceful time in Kumamoto, where the spring is so beautiful!
