Oita is a scenic city nestled on the northeastern coastline of Kyushu, the third largest island in Japan. Known for its stunning natural landscapes, this charming city is remarkably popular for "Onsen" or hot springs, boasting the highest yield of hot spring water in the entire country. Its most famous spot, Beppu, is renowned globally for the "Hells of Beppu", a collection of spectacular hot springs for viewing, rather than bathing. As well as soaking in soothing onsens, visitors can experience the authentic Japanese rural lifestyle in Usuki, famous for its stone Buddhas, or explore the mystical splendor of the Takasakiyama Natural Zoo, a monkey reserve in the breathtaking Takasakiyama mountain. Whether through sampling the vibrant local food culture or exploring the revered spiritual hubs, Oita provides an immersive dive into Japan's rich diverse heritage.
