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.

YUFUIN ONSEN / Yufu City

YUFUIN ONSEN / Yufu City

Yufuin Onsen is located in the Yufuin Basin, almost in the centre of Oita Prefecture, and is a very popular hot spring resort alongside Beppu. The water quality is soft and causes minimal skin irritation, making it suitable for everyone, including foreign visitors. Upon arriving at JR Yufuin Station, you will be amazed by the overwhelming presence of Mount Yufudake, towering over the street in front of the station. At a height of 1,583 m, Mount Yufudake is characterised by its gently sloping twin peaks, and is commonly referred to as ‘Bungo Fuji’. The town’s landscape is picturesque with its changing appearance throughout the seasons painting the town’s landscape like a living artwork.

Yufuin is also known as the ‘Town of Morning Mist’. Gazing at the misty Mount Yufudake from the observatory, as well as relishing the peaceful moments of soaking in hot springs in the fresh air, offers a soothing escape for both body and soul.

In the town centre, trendy cafés and art museums attract many tourists from near and far. On the other hand, moving a little further from the town centre, the quiet streets and narrow alleys welcome you with hot–spring hotels that are thoughtfully designed and furnished. This allows you to still discover the nostalgic scenery of Yufuin even today.
