Hello, everyone. This is Jun Uegaito from the Inner Communication Group!

We are introducing a new series of articles showcasing the “hometowns” charm of each Daihatsu Group site! The first commemorative installment features Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture, the hometown of Daihatsu Motor Kyushu Co., Ltd. (DKC), which is responsible for the production of the new MOVE. For this article, we visited spots recommended by DKC employee S!
