Oita

Oita sits on Beppu Bay in Japan’s Oita Prefecture, where the coastal plain of northeastern Kyushu rises quickly toward wooded hills. As the prefectural capital, it is a working port and commercial centre rather than a resort town, yet the region’s geothermal character is never far away: Beppu’s renowned hot springs lie along the bay to the north. In central Oita, the moats and stone walls of Oita Castle, also called Funai Castle, recall the castle town established in 1597. The city also looks toward Mount Takasaki, a forested coastal mountain known for its wild Japanese macaques.
