進撃の巨人ミュージアムが併設されているので立ち寄りました。周辺にはいくつか道の駅があるので、ポイントはやはりそのミュージアムでしょうか。館内はそんなに広くないですので、外のワゴン販売とか見て回っても時間はそんなにかかりません。水辺なのでドライブの休憩にはいいと思います。

This Japanese merchant home, a seven-minute drive from Hita Station and the Hita Interchange, is the oldest of its kind in the prefecture. The residence once belonged to the Kusano, a merchant remitter family from Hita which was also engaged in the wax making business as well as being an official government product purveyor, and whose members also served as village headmen.

The main residence is divided into several areas, of which the altar room is believed to have been constructed around 1725. Kusano family documents and a set of armor said to have been used by Toyotomi Hidenaga are displayed in the residence. Designated a National Important Cultural Property, generally the residence is opened to the general public for around a month-long period four times a year, such as around the Doll Festival and Boys' Day.

日田市の豆田町を南北に貫く御幸通りを南に向かって歩いていると、草野本家がありました。いくつか建ち並んでいる建物の前には説明書きがありました。私たちがここを訪れたのは2022年10月のことでしたが、約８年にも及ぶ大改修を終えてまもない、３００年の歴史を持つ県内最古の商家なんだそうです。もちろん、改修を終えたばかりなので建物はきれいですが、日田の豆田町を支えてきた歴史があるんですね。

Other products the shop sells include dorei bells modeled after the animals of the Chinese zodiac, and clay ohajiki pieces decorated with colorful flowers used to play a traditional Japanese children's game of the same name.

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.
