We made it to Yufuin (湯布院) following a 30-minute drive from our lunch spot. The original plan was to take a relaxing stroll around the spa town and if we have enough legs left, perhaps a walk along Kinrin Lake (金鱗湖) which friends hailed as a pretty scenic spot in the morning (but not in the afternoon).
But the first attraction we ran into when we got out of the parking lot, turned out to be Bee Honey (ビーハニー), a shop selling locally harvested honey.

I have never heard or tried Oita honey before.
The most eye-catching souvenir has to be this one with a real bee in it!
One of the highlights from our exploration of Bee Honey was a trip to their ice-cream stand.
We decided to check out their milk sot serve with honey comb.
Little nugget was of course front and centre when we talked about soft serve.
I thought the soft serve was really silky smooth and full of milk flavors, and the honey just added some extra sweetness to the mix. Not bad.
