宝泉寺温泉郷 HOSENJI ONSEN VILLAGE

This book is packed full of ‘essentials’, that are indispensable when talking about Oita. We hope this guide is a gateway for those unfamiliar with Oita, whether from Japan or abroad, offering insight into what Oita is really like among the many regions of Japan.

For locals or those acquainted with Oita, many of the places in the book may be familiar. However, by looking at them again with fresh eyes, you may discover new aspects and find yourself pleasantly surprised. We compiled this guide hoping to bring you moments of rediscovery and delightful new insights.

One of the charms of Oita, we feel, is that even in well-known tourist spots, the scenery reflects everyday life. The local inhabitants who live and breathe there, shine quietly, with their culture and daily activities becoming a natural extension of this scenery. The light and gentle breeze felt only on that day and at that moment, along with the conversations exchanged with locals or fellow visitors, forge, and build upon, a deeper and more meaningful connection between visitors and Oita.

The book contains only a slice of what Oita has to offer. We hope that the narratives behind each of the essentials featured will inspire readers to discover their own ways of appreciating and exploring Oita, developing a love for the region.

KUNISAKI OCTOPUS / Kunisaki City

Octopus is a familiar food for Japanese people. Kunisaki Octopus is particularly flavoursome, due to the strong currents off the Kunisaki Peninsula, resulting in a firm, elastic texture and a delightful flavour that deepens with each bite.

It is widely enjoyed in various local cuisines, ranging from home–cooked meals to restaurant menus, including dishes like champon noodles, tendon (tempura rice bowl), and pasta, not to mention the standard sashimi and octopus rice. Kunisaki Octopus is a distinctive ingredient unique to Kunisaki City’s coastal location, which showcases the fresh bounty of the sea.
