When I participated in the entrepreneurship school, I was impressed by the lifestyle of a certain woman, wondering, "How can I live that way?"

This time, I was one of the members of the MOG staff who became the kicker of my internship, and interviewed Minako Yamamoto, who lives in the Ogunimachi Tsunedate Onsen area next to Minamiogunimachi.

Minako Yamamoto (Minako Yamamoto)
Born in 1981. Born in Fukuoka Prefecture. Graduated from Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. He worked as a company employee in Fukuoka, but he was attracted to Tsunedate Onsen and emigrated four years ago.

My hobby is cutting bonito. I like sake.

● Tandate Onsen… One of the hot spring resorts in Oguni Town, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture.A hot spring resort with a calm atmosphere of the Showa era, where several inns are lined up along the Tsuetate River.The temperature of the source is extremely high at 98 degrees Celsius, and the cityscape is characterized by the atmosphere of steam rising from everywhere.

■ Kicking is "love at first sight"

-Minako, please tell us a lot about today! Thank you.

Yes! Thank you.

-First of all, the most interesting thing. Why did you decide to move here (Tachidate)?

Well, in a word, is it "love at first sight"?
When my friend lived in Oguni-cho and came to play, I happened to come to Tsunedate Onsen. At that time, the moment I saw this scenery, “Oh, I want to live! "When. Lol

-I moved in love at first sight. It's like a drama! Is there any reason you were so attracted?

Somehow“Created hot spring area”not,“Nature and history are exposed”I was hooked on it.
I think that it would be dangerous if it was normal, so I would put a handrail between the river and the road. Just not. The stance that they live in nature or the feeling that they are not overworked is the best.
Two weeks after falling in love at first sight, I applied for retirement to the company, and moved six months later.

-Oh! Incredible speed ...! ! The horror of the Onedate Onsen attracts so many people. By the way, if you moved to a hot spring area, can you enter the hot spring quite well?

We are kind to the kindness of a nearby inn, and are allowed to enter a common hot spring with only the local residents twice a day, morning and evening.
It cleanses all emotions when you are depressed or sad. Even if you have a bad thing or cry, it's like immersing yourself in a hot spring and pouring it into the water. Here is my oasis. Lol

― Hot springs really heal both mind and body.
Even now, four years after immigration, isn't your feelings for Tsuedate Onsen still the same?

It doesn't change. Rather I like it more. I wake up every morning thinking "I really like cane standing!" When I go to work, I say hello, "I'm coming!" … It might be a bit abnormal. Lol

- Disagreeable~! I think it's a very happy morning. Four years after falling in love at first sight. It's really nice to be able to stay with you forever.
