[Hita City "Attack on Titan" Fan Pilgrimage Map] Captain Levi's Statue, Theme Cafe, One-Day Railway Tour

As the hometown of Hajime Isayama, the author of "Attack on Titan", Hita City in Oita Prefecture has long become a pilgrimage hotspot for fans around the world. Although the trip was limited in time and we could only visit attractions in the city, we were still filled with passion and moved. If you also want to catch your idol easily by taking the train, this is the guide for you to walk around Hita city! 🗿【JR Hita Station｜Captain Levi's Bronze Statue】You will see it as soon as you exit the station, and the strongest soldier of mankind will welcome you As soon as you get off the train, you can immediately see the legendary "Captain Levi" standing in front of the station. He is imposing and has sharp eyes, symbolizing the determination to protect his homeland. 📍 Location: JR Hita Station Square ☕【Attack on Titan in HITA Café】Immersive fan experience! Character meals + limited goods This small themed cafe hidden in the old town of Hita is full of Easter eggs from the sign to the walls. Entering the door feels like arriving at a rest stop for the Survey Corps, making you reluctant to leave. The special cup holder that comes with ordering a drink is also very textured. At first glance, it doesn’t look like a paper cup holder, making you want to take it home as a souvenir. 🛍️ Merchandise area: There are limited edition badges, key chains, postcards, etc., fans must not go back empty-handed! 📍 Location: Inside Oyabaru Shopping Street, about 7 minutes walk from Hita Station. 🏛️【Attack on Titan in HITA Museum】A must-visit for fans! The creative process is fully disclosed (not interviewed this time) The schedule was too tight this time, and I really didn’t have time to go, which left me with great regrets💔! 📖 Exhibition contents: original drawings, storyboard drafts, character settings and author's creative notes, etc. 🎥 There is also a small video area where you can relive classic animation scenes 👉 I must make time to go there next time! 🌊【Dashan Dam × Trio Statue】Classic reappearance! Eren, Mikasa, and Armin gaze at the giant behind the dam (not visited this time) The real ultimate fan attraction - the "Bronze Statue of the Childhood Trio" of Eren, Mikasa and Armin is actually located on the Oyama Dam outside the city. The standing posture echoes the famous scene from the first season of the animation, and the background is the magnificent nature, which is super shocking. 📍 Transportation: You need to drive or take the bus and then walk a distance ⏳ Time required: At least 1.5 hours round trip 📌 I missed it this time due to limited time, so I can only silently say "next time for sure!"😭 ✅【Itinerary suggestions and reminders】 🚉 Transportation suggestion: It takes about 1.5 hours to reach Hita by express from Hakata, which is suitable for a relay journey planned as "Yufuin → Hita → Hakata" 🧭 All the attractions in this article are within walking distance of Hita City, so you can easily visit them without renting a car 💳 Cafes and most shops in the city accept electronic payments (such as PayPay) 📅 It is recommended to check official information before departure for the opening hours of cafes and museums ❗Hita City is a popular seasonal destination. Some facilities may adjust their business hours or crowds due to events. It is recommended to plan your trip in advance. Although this small pilgrimage did not allow me to visit the museum and the dam statue, being able to meet the Captain and sit in the themed cafe to drink a character-themed drink was already a perfect moment in the fan journey. Next time, I will definitely come again to complete the unfinished chapter! #AprilGoodDestinations2025
