Lotteria @ Beppu Station

 

Had an Ebi Burger set (750yen) and a Cheese nugget (180yen) .

The prawn in the patty is not totally minced, there are whole prawns inside!

They have smoking room for age 20year old and above.

This meal is hectic, I was actually 15mins earlier waiting for the bus. But last minutes realised that the bus to Nagasaki is at Kitahama bus station instead of Beppu Station! Rushing there halfway and realised I left my backpack in teh fastfood restaurant! Running back to Lotteria and luckily the bag still intact and rush back to Kitahama.

When reached there, while asking where the bus stop is as they have 4 bus stop!! And all of them is across the road. When they show me the opposite bus stop and the bus just passed in front of me ...... What a day!

Luckily the staff was very friendly and assist me to book the next bus @ 1825hr (which is also the last day and cannot missed). Booking of the highway bus online can only do it at their japan website, english website currently unable to book without payment.

Store my luggage in Tokiwa Departmental store, FOC.

Just need a 100yen coin refundable.

Dare not go too far except this shopping mall, rest at Starbuck for a drink.

Sit right behind the bus stop

It seems walk in booking is cheaper than online.

Bought one of this pau for 80yen.


Walk in to an izakaya for supper. Total damage 1720yen.
I find it quite expensive. The price doesnt tally with the menu price list. Too lazy to ask for a breakdown. No bill, nothing at all...
Missed izakaya at Takamaya and kyoto.
