    Oita Hayami-gun Hijimachi
    This shop, a 10-minute walk from JR Yokoku Station, sells Hiji-yaki pottery, such as plates modeled after Hiji's famous brand name Shiroshita Karei marbled sole fish. The shop also sells unique guinomi large sake cups and yunomi tea cups decorated with a cute sole fish clinging to the bottom which looks like it's swimming when tea or sake is poured in. The shop's sole fish-shaped chopstick rests and small otesho dishes are reasonably priced and are popular to buy as souvenirs. In the shop's studio area, you can try making pottery by hand. Those interested in participating in the pottery making activity should make a reservation by 5:00 p.m. no later than five days in advance.

Oita Areas

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
