So we are back in Miyakonojo, and this time we’re visiting a Japanese Inn or ryokan called Tokiwa. They have a restaurant and also an onsen on site. We came here as part of a package using the Meat tourism campaign. In a previous video, I mentioned meat tourism but it’s basically a campaign in Miyakonojo that allows you to stay in a nice hotel paired with a nice meal of some sort. The idea is to bring in tourists from outside of Miyakonojo to sample their specialties which are beef and Shochu. We have utilized this a few times already and usually stay in a standard hotel but this time we get to enjoy the Japanese inn and the amenities it comes with.
