Kokonoe

Among the towns of Oita Prefecture, Kokonoe stands out for its highland terrain beneath the Kuju Mountains, part of Kyushu’s Aso-Kuju volcanic region. Forests, valleys and hot-spring settlements extend across this large rural municipality, while the Yamanami Highway runs through the uplands towards the Kuju area. The 390-metre Kokonoe Yume Otsuribashi pedestrian suspension bridge, opened in 2006, crosses the Naruko River valley and faces Shindo Falls. Onsen communities including Hōsenji and Sujiyu give Kokonoe a quieter character than Oita’s larger resort centres.
