Ureshino Hot Springs is famous, and so is its tea. Ureshino tea is the tea that Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought back from the Korean Peninsula with the captives of the Central Dynasty (including soldiers from the tea-producing areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang) and the tea-growing and tea-making techniques. Did the three great expeditions of Wanli win or lose?
In any case, when they later paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people from Nanjing brought the iron pot tea-frying technique to the east. It is said that part of Ureshino tea, namely the iron pot tea, still retains the tea-frying technique of the Ming Dynasty. Now most Japanese tea-making techniques are steam-extracted tea, including matcha.
I talked to a tea garden owner about organic tea. Ureshino is a hilly basin area. As long as a tea garden inevitably uses pesticides, the pesticide residues floating in the air will cause a large area of tea gardens to not be able to obtain pesticide-free certification, and organic certification seems to be very difficult. Everyone tries not to use pesticides as much as possible, and then takes tea leaves from higher altitudes that are not easily contaminated by second-hand pesticides for certification. I couldn't control myself and bought a certain iron pot tea from Ureshino and a mixed tea of green tea and tea powder from another tea garden. The website of another tea shop said that they had 3 kilograms of award-winning tea. I went there just to take a look at the award-winning tea, but it was sold out just a few days after it was on the market. In the end, I ended up buying some tourist tea as a souvenir.
A must-visit in Japan! A beautiful hot spring town that you must not miss!
If you want to go to Japan, but don’t want to go to Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka, which are full of people, then going to Kyushu, Japan would be a very good choice, especially during the National Day holiday! There are few people, the temperature is high, and you won’t feel cold even if you wear short sleeves!

When you come to Kyushu, don’t miss the beautiful hot spring town of Ureshino Onsen! Many people also come here to experience the local hot springs♨️, but if the budget is limited, staying in Saga and taking JR or bus here for a day trip is also a good choice! Next, I will tell you how to play in Ureshino!

Several attractions that cannot be missed in Ureshino Onsen:
1️⃣Toyotamahime Shrine⛩️, located in a small alley, the shrine enshrines the [Catfish God], the god of beautiful skin that can make the skin white and smooth. There are many "Ema" hanging next to the [Catfish God]. They are all wishes made by people who come to worship after the worship, and then hung up. The Fengna gold of "Ema" is 400 yen, just put it in the incense box.
2️⃣ Hizen Yume Street, also a ninja village, the only building in Japan that completely imitates the Edo period, and a small park with ninja as the theme. The ticket price is 1,100 yen. Those who are interested in ninja can go for a visit.
3️⃣ Ureshino Onsen Park, a small park, the small western-style buildings built by the river are very beautiful, and the scenery on both sides of the hot spring bridge is also very good!
4️⃣ Don't miss the several open-air foot baths scattered in the town. If you don't have time and budget to stay in a local hot spring hotel, you can experience the open-air foot baths on the street. It's warm and comfortable.
5️⃣ Zuikoji Temple, a very small temple, but very quiet, it's good to go for a walk.
6️⃣ Characteristic Japanese streets, you can take blockbusters on the street! You can also see kittens everywhere on the street, isn't it very cute!
7️⃣ Tofu soup is also a major attraction! Because Ureshino is full of hot springs, the locals use this natural resource to make a special delicacy - hot spring tofu soup, using hot spring water to cook tofu. The soup is very refreshing, the tofu is very tender, and a set meal is only 60 yuan!

How to get there:
From Saga, you need to take the JR first and then transfer to the bus to get there. If you take the JR, you need to transfer at Takeo Station, so you can put Takeo and Ureshino in a day trip.
