The bike trip through from Oita to Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu island



The road to the top of the pass separating Oita Prefecture from Miyazaki Prefecture is normally a gentle drive in a car but we ascended the mountain after typhoon number 4 had damaged these slopes.
In Takachiho, our destination after 80km of cycling, we managed to see Yukagura dancing. This is a traditional form of story telling. Entertaining and humourous it is carried out by men using masks, a drum and flute for music and a narrator between stories.
