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.

RURU PARK / Kitsuki City

RURU PARK / Kitsuki City

Opened in 2001 as the ‘Oita Agricultural and Culture Park’, this vast park straddles Yamaga Town, Kitsuki City, and Ajimu Town in Usa City. Following a public naming contest in 2021, it is now affectionately known as RURU PARK. The 120–hectare site centres on a dam lake and features various nature–themed areas. It takes about one and a half hours to stroll around the park, making it perfect for hiking and walking.

There are gardens featuring seasonal flowers and herbs, and a camellia garden, along with an orchard, where you can experience the transitions between all four seasons. The garden is most popular in spring for its nemophila and in autumn for its kochia. Visitors can also enjoy hands–on agriculture and nature expereinces, and there are two large playgrounds in the park which are very popular with children.

The central facility near the main gate, designed by architect Toyo Ito, houses a local product centre and training facilities whilst also functioning as a hub for community interaction and education.
