Just following the signs...

I regularly post my iPhone works in a group called "iPhone Club" in Facebook, and the exhibition was held in Yufuin, Oita Prefecture where I enjoyed amazing Autumn views, a nice cafe, famous hot spring, and meeting new people. 

Sometime ago, I was informed of the exhibition from a lady whom I acquainted with through this "iPhone Club", and I decided to go there to follow the sign given by Sun flower. The story is here...

It was a very quick ferry trip to Yufuin, but I could re-energized myself somehow from all of these amazing time in Yufuin. On the way to Yufuin from Beppu port, I noticed that the twin peaks of Yufu mountain reminded me of my favorite twin peaks in Kabira, Ishigaki Island which I consider as a very powerful energy spot. I believe that this mountain is the same as well. 

Once I entered the town, I immediately noticed of my familiar and favorite flagrance of Osmanthus filled in the town, and it didn't take me much time to find the Osmanthus tree with the flowers in the town. I love the flagrance the most among any other flowers, and always gives me relaxed feeling and nostalgia. Each cell of my body and sense remember somehow the flagrance...

Visiting the local Shrines to greet the spirits there, having a nice morning tea break with a lovely tasty cake, encountering lovely flowers and butterflies, and bathing myself in a hot spring monopolizing the time and space, so called my favorite word, "Moment", they were all interesting and amusing. 

I need to visit one more place before starting my new chapter. I'm sure that it takes some more time to rid all of my body and spirit's pain and fatigue, but it's ok because I don't need to rush in my life anymore.
