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!
An extraordinarily dynamic area, Yabakei is filled with a surprisingly large number of karaage shops. There are even rumors that a famous karaage chain has pulled out of the area! Plus, it is also the city of “that man” everyone has laid their eyes on!
