We revisit some of our old haunts from our time when we first settled in Japan, in Kyushu's Oita Prefecture. We revisited Onta Pottery Village, which is our favorite pottery in Japan (plus probably one of the prettiest villages in Japan), and Pancake got to explore some Kyushu countryside roads, plus we made dango-jiru soup (a regional Oita cuisine) when we got back home!
