      YMF will be held as usual this year. We started to stay in Yufuin from yesterday evening. We brought in various items such as coffee maker and others and started a temporary life in a small cottage facing the pond.  | 
    
| Last night, we had the final preparation meeting and today we will have to clean the hall. Mt. Yufu is still in the rain cloud this morning.  |

      The restaurant is different from ordinary lamian house. Jazz or classical music fill the restaurant. YMF posters are on the entrance without fail. |
