This is the view as you walk into the park. With the haziness, I wasn't happy with the photo, but I'm sure you could do a lot with a long lens. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Second Trip to Japan > Welcome To Kumamoto > Garden And Pond

Eggs Cooking
Many of the hot springs were selling hard boiled eggs cooked in the spring water. These eggs were 50 yen each (70 cents Canadian) and included a little packet of salt. There was no sulfur taste.
