6 ATTACK ON TITAN Things to Do in Hita, Japan!

READ FOR TIPS BELOW!

Been travelling around Kyushu and we HAD to make a stop in Hita! When I found out this was Hajime Isayama’s hometown, I knew there had to be something there to commemorate Attack on Titan, and it did not disappoint.

Aside from seeing life-sized statues of Levi, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin, there’s other stuff to check out too. We weren’t able to do it all, so we definitely want to go back in the future.

Some tips to make your trip go smoothly:

1. Get familiar with the app beforehand. It’s not particularly difficult to figure out, but you don’t want to spend precious time on the day-of fumbling through the app.

2. Start your day early! I mentioned precious time because some things are time-sensitive. A lot of places (like the museum) close between 5-5:30.

3. Getting from one place to another also requires some planning, if you don’t have a car. From Hita station to Mizube no Sato (where the museum is) is a 20-min bus ride (a bus that runs ~6 times a day), or a 30-40$ taxi ride, or a 2 hour walk. So you need to plan accordingly; you can get a timetable for the bus at the Hita Tourist Information Center. On the other hand, there is no bus between Mizube no Sato and Oyama Dam, which is ~13$ by taxi or a 40min walk.

4. The walk between Oyama Dam and Mizube no Sato is honestly beautiful, and a great opportunity to explore the Japanese countryside. It’s a 40 minute walk, I would recommend it if you are able and have the time.

5. Download a camera-translating app for the character cut-outs and for the museum. A lot of the artwork has descriptions next to it in Japanese that you can translate to learn more.

Let me know if you have any questions! Hope you get to visit one day.
