    This is Kyushu’s only safari park and one of Japan’s largest, where 1,300 animals of 70 varieties are raised in conditions close to natural. There is an “animal zone” where visitors can observe lions and tigers from a jungle bus or their own car, and a “petting zone” where one can do horse riding or pet small animals, allowing one to enjoy the various aspects and charms of the animals.

    It was a great half day experience there. We were given a tray of animals food to feed them including for kind ones like reindeers and fierce ones like bears and lions. Other than the safari tour...

    "This museum, a 40-minute drive from the Usa Interchange, is located on the grounds of Roadside Station Yaba Topia situated on the Atoda River near the Chugakko Mae bus stop. The museum was started as the Yaba Bunko library, which housed some 10 thousand old and ancient texts collected by Taisho period Sinologist Ozan Ono. The museum still possesses 3,205 scrolls and 7,800 volumes, and visitors can also see a large collection of hanging scrolls and folding screens; exhibits on the priest Zenkai, who carved the Aonodomon tunnel; a holographic presentation of author Kan Kikuchi's ""Beyond the Pale of Vengeance;"" and farming tools once used in the area."

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.
