The market sells fresh, local vegetables and Yufuin rice as well as prepared foods such as local heritage chicken rice. At the Hidamari Shokudo restaurant inside the market, you can enjoy cuisine made with an abundance of local vegetables and without any chemical seasonings whatsoever. The restaurant makes it easy to enjoy the unique flavors of Oita, such as the Hidamari Teishoku set meal, which comes with Oita's famous dangojiru dumpling soup and toriten chicken tempura; as well as Hayashi rice and gyudon beef bowls made with Yufuin beef.

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.
