A quiet and pleasant neighborhood near Fukuoka. A one-day trip to Hita, Oita Prefecture, Japan

– From Yufuin to a quiet town walk. 🚍 Transportation: How to get from Yufuin to Hita (Tips for using the bus) There is less information on how to get from Yufuin to Hita than you might think. I was worried, wondering, “Is this really right?” But at the ‘Yufuin Interchange (湯布院インター)’ bus stop, I took the Nishitetsu bus → I completed the trip to Hita. (Arrived about 5 minutes later than scheduled) I was even more anxious because there was nothing around, but the moment the bus arrived, the driver shined like an angel✨ ✔️ Fare: about 1,400 yen ✔️ Duration: about 1 hour 10 minutes ✔️ Look up the bus stop in advance and make sure to mark it with a star on Google Maps 🍱 [Lunch] Hitamabushi (ひつまぶし) Restaurant: Senya 千屋 📍Address: 6-31 Mamedamachi, Hita-shi, Oita-ken 877-0005 It's no exaggeration to say that you go to Hita just to eat this. Whole eel grilled over charcoal Eat the rice bowl in a wooden barrel 1) as is, 2) top it with gomyeong, and 3) finish it with ochazuke Crispy and oily eel + special sauce are crazy Although I went without a reservation, there was almost no waiting (the timing was good) The staff was friendly, and the interior was neat and clean ⭐ Recommended menu: Hitamabushi set (around 3,000 yen) 🕛 Check the business hours and visit! 🍶 Visiting Kuncho Brewery (KUNCHO SAKE BREWERY) 📍Address: In the middle of the Mamedamachi shopping street A traditional Japanese brewery. I don't know much about Japanese sake, but it's fun to look around. The interior is preserved as a warehouse, with sake barrels, tools, and a steamy maturation space. → Honest review: If you're not interested in alcohol, it might be a little boring. Still, it's a good course to feel the history and atmosphere of Hita. 🏡 Mamedamachi Stroll (豆田町) It feels like a 'Little Kyoto of Japan'. There are traditional houses, canals, souvenir shops, and small fun things like cat toys. ✔️ Not crowded, quiet and secluded ✔️ The old souvenir shops and ceramic chopstick rest shops here and there are cute ✔️ The entire town is a photo zone 📌 Point: It's perfect to walk around in a yukata Actually, there are almost no people → Best for taking pictures #Overseas travel#Japan travel
