Taketa

Taketa sits along the Inaba River in Oita Prefecture, Japan, where a broad inland basin rises toward the Kuju Mountains. The city developed as a castle town, and the stone ramparts of Oka Castle stand on a high promontory above the river. The Nakagawa clan governed the surrounding domain from here during the Edo period. Taketa is also associated with Nagayu Onsen, a hot-spring area known for water naturally rich in carbon dioxide. Its castle ruins, thermal baths and mountain setting give the city a distinctly inland character within Kyushu.
