TOTORO and HARAJIRI FALLS - A Japanese Countryside Adventure
I spent a day exploring through the countryside of Southern Oita - specifically Saiki and Bungo-ono.
In Saiki, there is a bus stop called Totoro which has been decked out in to represent the famous Ghibli character. It is a functioning bus stop so if you wait long enough, a bus will come to pick you up (though, probably not the Catbus).
The other main site I set out to see this day was Harajiri Falls. This is a waterfall in Bungo Ono. It is nicknamed The Niagara of Japan which I personally don't agree with.
We finished off our countryside adventure with a walk across Utagenka Bridge and some firefly viewing.
Much love and happy travels xo Meggie Kay

I went on a trip to Aso / Kuzu between 2018.7.13-14. I am creating a short movie of 1 minute. We are taking pictures with the image of Roadster in Hataraki no Taki Kuju Takahara.
