Oita 1 博多から由布院、竹田へ Hakata to Yufuin and Taketa, A grown-ups' excursion!

遊び回っている3月4月！　大分県竹田市と日田市に行ってきました！　きっかけは、コワーキングのメンバーの一人が、町家を買ってコワーキング&宿泊施設にしようと計画中で、お手本となるような建物を見たいということから。竹田にある、古民家を改装してホステルにしたところがいい感じだったよという別の人からの情報があり、じゃあ行きましょう！　あと、日田市の小鹿田焼に関する小説を読んでいて、同じ大分県なので行ってみたい、となり、大人の遠足 in 大分と相成りました！その、小鹿田焼に関する小説「リーチ先生」は、今回の旅の課題図書となりました！

博多集合で、レンタカーを借りて由布院→竹田→日田→博多へ。

ほんっとうに、何もかもが楽しかった。なにかと忙しい社会人、万障繰り合わせて旅に出られるというのは本当にありがたい。

I've been engaging in so many activities in March and April!  I visited Taketa City and Hita City in Oita Prefecture with a few of my "co-workers"!  The reason for the trip was that one of our coworking members is planning to buy an old townhouse to turn it into a coworking and lodging facility, and he wanted to see model buildings for inspiration.  Another person told us about a place in Taketa that had been renovated from an old private house and turned into a hostel that looked like a nice mix of old and new, so we decided to stay there!  He was also reading a novel about Onta-yaki pottery in Hita City, and since we will be in Oita Prefecture anyway, we wanted to go there too. It was an excursion for grown-ups in Oita!  The novel about Onta pottery, "Mr. Leech," was the assigned reading for this trip!

We took a road trip - met at Hakata, rented a car, and drove from Yufuin to Takeda to Hita, and came back to Hakata.

I really enjoyed every moment of our trip.  Since we are all busy, full-time workers, though freelancers, I am very grateful for every one and everything that made this memorable trip possible.

Welcome drinks!!
