【A True TV-Featured Gem! Unbeatable Quality & Breathtaking Views 🤫✨】
Lunch at Honobono Palette, a wonderful Western-style restaurant located on the 4th floor of "Yuttari Heights" at the entrance of Hinagu Onsen! 🍽️
I'm always exploring different restaurants in Fukuoka City, but the dedication to quality here is the real deal. The fresh, crisp salad topped with their rich "secret special sauce" was absolutely delicious! And the surprise bonus dessert was so authentic—perfectly flaky and crispy when you cut into it.
I couldn't help but think, "No wonder they were featured on a famous local TV show (Momochihama Store)!" The flavors are flawless down to the last detail.
If you wanted this level of quality paired with such a spectacular view in the heart of Fukuoka City, you'd definitely be waiting in a long line and paying a premium. The fact that you can enjoy such a relaxing meal just a short trip from Kumamoto City or Fukuoka City makes this the ultimate hidden oasis ⛰️✨
🎁 Special Offer! 🎁 Just let the staff know "I saw this on X (BaseCamp)" to get a FREE cup of coffee after your meal! ☕️ Enjoy a blissful cafe break with your crispy dessert while taking in the beautiful panoramic view.

【A Meaty, Juicy Hamburg Steak & Daytime Beer with a Breathtaking View! 🍺✨】
I had another incredible lunch while traveling between Fukuoka City and Hinagu Onsen! I visited Honobono Palette, a lovely Western-style restaurant located on the 4th floor of the "Yuttari Heights" building, right at the entrance of the Hinagu Onsen area.
Today’s main dish was a rich, mouthwatering Japanese-style Hamburg steak. The moment you cut into it, you can feel how chunky and perfectly handmade it is! The texture is incredibly meaty, and the juicy meat paired with the rich sauce goes so perfectly with a cold draft beer. I couldn't stop eating and drinking! 🤤
The panoramic view of the endless blue sky and lush green mountains from the large 4th-floor windows is just as satisfying as the food! ⛰️✨
💡 Insider Tip!
Their lunch menu is usually a "Daily Special," but if you call ahead to make a reservation, they are happy to accommodate your requests (like this amazing Hamburg steak!). If there’s a specific dish you want to try, definitely give them a call beforehand! 📞

Found a true hidden treasure in rural Japan! 🇯🇵✨
At a local shop called "Shoes Hori" in Hinagu Onsen, Kumamoto, I stumbled upon these incredible deadstock Geta (traditional wooden sandals) from the early Showa period (1920s-30s)!
Just look at the craftsmanship - the glossy black lacquer, elegant pinstripes, and retro straps are absolutely stunning. Walking on cobblestones with these makes that nostalgic "karan-koron" sound, instantly taking you back in time. 🕰️
They are perfect for
👘 A unique vintage fashion statement (pairs perfectly with Kimono/Yukata!)
🚶♂️ Improving your posture and core strength (the two-tooth design naturally balances your body!)
🎁 An incredibly rare, authentic Japanese souvenir to take home.
There are only a few pairs left in existence. If you're exploring Kyushu or visiting Hinagu Onsen, you have to check them out! First come, first served! 🏃♂️💨

⚠️ Don't miss the hidden entrance to the best view in town! 🚗💨
Traveling from Fukuoka (Hakata) or Kumamoto down to Yatsushiro City? If you visit Hinagu Onsen, there is a secret spot you need to know! 👀✨
I previously introduced "Honobono Palette," a wonderful restaurant with breathtaking mountain views and delicious Japanese-style Hamburg steaks. It’s located on the 4th floor of the "Yuttari Heights" building, but the secret entrance is actually right on National Route 3 (Route 3)!
Look for a cute handmade signboard on the ground floor along the main road (I totally forgot to snap a photo of the sign, sorry! 😭).
Once you find it, just head straight up to the 4th floor. A hidden oasis overlooking the nostalgic hot spring town and lush green mountains awaits you. It’s very easy to find from the main street, making it the perfect relaxing lunch stop for your Kyushu trip.
Come find our secret restaurant with an amazing view! 🍽️✨
