    Oita Nakatsu-shi Yabakei Machi Shinyaba Hoka

    11月月末に紅葉を見に行ってきました。駐車場は無料で歩いて数百メートルのところに遊歩道があり見晴らし台へ行けます。が、自然を活用したコースで且つ、落ち葉があり足元が滑りやすく体力と足元に注意必要です。見晴らし台からの景色は最高に綺麗でした。

  • Kyusuikei Goege

    Osu Pref.
    "A valley following the Kusu River basin in Tano, Kokonoe Town, Kusu County, Oita Prefecture. Known for its beautiful scnery consisting of virgin forest sprawling on steep slopes spanning both sides of the river for two kilometers, the area sees particularly large numbers of visitors during the fall foliage season. Due to its many hairpin curves, the area is also called ""13 Curves."""

    Oita Yufu-shi Kasama-cho
    "A gorge on the Yufu River straddling Beppu City and Yufu City. It is also known as ""Yufu River Gorge."" The 12- kilometer-long gorge is known for the beauty of its moss covered rock and numerous waterfalls. A cave-in caused by torrential rains and typhoon winds occurred in 2017, and at the present time passage through the gorge is not possible, but visitors can walk around a suspension bridge spanning the gorge."

    Oita Pref. Nakatsushi Yamakunimachikusamoto
    "Located approximately a 30-minute drive from the Hita Interchange of the Oita Expressway, this nationally-designed natural monument has innumerable large and small pits (round holes created by river erosion) created by rough natural streams over a long period of time upstream on the Yamakuni River. It is said that it was named ""Sarutobi"" (monkey jumping) because long ago mountain monkeys would jump around from rock to rock. Downstream are the scenic spots ""Mabayashikyo"" and ""Nenbutsu Bridge"", and you can enjoy the beauty of each season including cherry blossoms in the spring, fresh greenery in early summer, and colorful leaves in the autumn."
  • Yaba-Hita-Hikosan Quasi-National Park/Takkiri Valley

    Oita Usa-shi Innaimachi Jobetto
    "In this valley, water flows over a single slab of large rock made of Yaba ravine lava. The stream is shallow, with a depth of 10 to 20 centimeters, so it is popular for stream walking around the clean stream. Also, if you walk along the path, you can enjoy a nice view in all four seasons, with new greenery or fall leaves, so people visit year-round. The water you can freely pump up at the drinking fountain near the administration building is famous water selected as one of the ""Top 15 Famous Water in Toyonokuni""."

Oita Areas

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
