After our visit of Hagi, we went zigzagging between inland and coast. First small village of Tsuwano then along the coast to Oda.
Tsuwano
One of the shop we visited was a sake brewery (by accident), we were only curious and hoping to taste a few specialties too, also ask few questions… this is when we met a good sales man! So we ended buying a few bottles! He was not even a staff member, but a neighbour. He then became our guide as he had a lot of stories and information to share, got us inside a luxury kimono shop (which he probably owned) and gave us a lecture on ornamental gardens à la Japonaise. He was too quick and too talkative for Mimiko to translate all the details back to us (or maybe she did translate the whole message, but summarised!), but we got the main message and the general feeling was the most important!
Oda
After quite some drive along the coast we arrived at village of Oda, most likely a crowded balnéaire resort during high season…
