Japan Adventure

Pam & Jake walk from the bus for our lunch break -- our last break before we arrive in Beppu. Rest stops on the toll-roads here have everything you need, including several choices of restaurants, gift shops, large clean potties, and many even have gas stations. If you exit the toll-road to go to the nearest town, you have to pay, but the rest stops are exempt & supply everything one needs.


















This is the kaki furai (fried oyster) special, which included miso soup, salad & pickles. It was all yummy and the oysters were fresh & crunchy on the outside & moist on the inside!
















Stan had the other special, which included a small hamburger patty, a couple of small fried chicken pieces and a breaded yellow squash, along with noodles, slaw & rice. His soup was either squash or pumpkin -- it was bright yellow and it was delicious (we traded soups)!
