Day 12 Day trip to Sanrio Harmonyland
After checking out from our ryokan in Yufuin, we took a train from Yufuin to Oita, and then transferred to Ltd Exp Sonic train from Oita to Kitsuki station, where we took a short (and not too expensive) 7mins cab ride to Sanrio Harmonyland.

Those who are planning to go to Harmonyland, please please take note of the return bus timings (from Harmonyland back to Kitsuki station) because it's difficult to get cab from Harmonyland. The last bus is usually around 16:30hrs odd. Check the actual timing from the bus stop near the entrance of Harmonyland.

After Harmonyland, we headed back to Fukuoka where we stayed for 1 night at the b Hakata hotel again.

405) Hubby woke me up early in the morning when he tries to wait for sunrise. However there were lots of clouds, and I was so darn sleepy...so after taking a few shots, I went back to lalaland.


406) Taking the Ltd Exp Yufu train from Yufuin to Oita, note that it was snowing that morning as well.
