This month, I migrated to the countryside. Then, I finally visited most of the main facilities around my residence. Today, I will introduce my favorite places.
How to enjoy the countryside
Sometimes, we want to know what is good about the countryside and how to enjoy it. Of course, a quiet and peaceful environment would be the main charm, but we also want to know how to enjoy being active.
This blog’s readers may like quiet activities, such as reading books, learning new things, or walking. I love them, too. We can enjoy them at our own pace. In addition, I am not good at team play, so I prefer activities I can do alone.
However, we sometimes don’t know how to enjoy life in the countryside. There seems to be less entertainment in such a place.
Today, I will introduce my new favorite places and my quiet activities to enjoy. This might tell you how to have fun in the countryside.
The surroundings of my new residence
Let’s take a look at them with my photos below.
The beach located 2 minutes walking distance (for walking)
The first place is the beach. I can reach it in 2 minutes on foot from my residence. I mentioned it many times in earlier articles. I can finally introduce it!
It is called Nada Beach. It is a wide, sandy, beautiful, and quiet beach. In the winter season, there is almost no one. I often walk along this beach and can empty my mind.
Places like this are good for walking and calming our minds, especially when we are tired of social stresses.
I am going to try fishing here soon.
A main road along the coastline (for walking and cycling)
The next place is a main road along the coastline. This coast is called Shioya Beach.
I like this road. This is the best one for cycling and walking. It is nicely paved and easy to bike and walk. In addition, it is scenic and comfortable.
Roads like this are ideal for cycling or walking as exercise. Although it is a little noisy with traffic, we don’t care when we move our bodies comfortably.
There are grocery stores around here, so I often walk and bike here.
An airport (for feeling another world)
The third place is an airport. This is Oita Airport, which is a medium-sized airport with several international flights.
I like airports. It tells me there is another world beyond the sky. Even if I live in the small countryside, I can feel the wider world. That makes me imagine various opportunities and encourages me.
In addition, Oita Prefecture, where I live, is one of the famous tourist destinations known for hot springs. Seeing the chaotic liveliness of tourists from various countries makes me cheer up.
Shops in the airport (for learning this area)
By the way, I like shops in the airport, too. The following photo is of the shops at Oita Airport.
It shows us what specialties this area has. In this area, agricultural products seem famous. I will talk about them in a later article.
By the way, the prices of things in places like this are unbelievably high. It costs 3 to 5 times more than ordinary, similar products in a grocery store. Although I never buy them, I like watching such special products.
Vast farmland (for walking)
The last place is vast farmland. This is called Aki Town.
Perhaps we like places with good views. Seeing far into the distance makes us relaxed and refreshed. On the other hand, narrow spaces make us feel cramped.
For example, we often enjoy the views from the top of tall buildings or mountains. The wide view makes us feel comfortable.
That may be why we often like to travel to such places.
Places like this are good for walking. In vast farmland, we can feel the seasons and calm activity of human beings. Looking at the busy people in the urban area often makes us tired. On the other hand, looking at a slow farm life makes us relaxed. We feel we are allowed to live slowly.
Enjoying peacefully in the countryside
The countryside with many such scenery is pleasant.
Fortunately, I was able to migrate to a place with them. I don’t get bored because it always makes me feel natural.
I bike and walk in this natural environment, eat delicious food, and sleep healthily. This lifestyle makes me comfortable.
Living in the countryside like here might be an option if you wish for a peaceful life.
Conclusion
They are my new favorite places and quiet activities to enjoy.
Places with good views make us relaxed. It is good for a peaceful life.
This might tell you how to have fun in the countryside.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
