We landed Kansai airport early in the morning on 29 March. Waited for my son to come and he arrived around 8.00 am. Well ....the temp thereat that time was only 8 degree Celcius. My hope was to feel the temperate climate and see Sakura blossom. It was a very tiring journey for both of us, until we reached momen guest house in Owada-4-Chome nearby Chibune. From Kansai airport we took train to Tenoji, from Tenoji we took another train to Fukushima and by taking another train we arrived at Chibune. Chibune is considered a small town beside a river mouth.
Map of Chibune area as below:
(credit to internet blogger- the tiny Turki flag[red dot] was where we stayed )
We hand carried our luggage from the Chibune railway station straight away to momen quest house. From the map above you can see the 200m bridge we used to cross the river mouth. Residents there use to walk after taking the train to their houses. So it was a normal scenerio many people walking there, however we felt very exhausted as we were not used to it.
After checked in and had a shower, we had early dinner.
A Pakistani guy, name Abd Rauf ( as photo shown below) agreed to provide us breakfast and lunch/dinner while we were there. For rm400 per person for breakfast and lunch. hemmm...quite expensive, however the taste👍👍👍. Furthermore , other restaurant did not manage to provide food as tasty as Sitara and we also had rented room which did not have facility for cooking.
