Kusu

Kusu is best known in Japan for its connection with Takahiko Kurushima, a pioneer of Japanese children’s storytelling. This small town in Oita Prefecture lies in an inland basin of Kyushu, where the Kusu River runs through a landscape of cultivated land and surrounding mountains. Its railway heritage is centred on the Bungo-Mori Roundhouse, a preserved former locomotive facility beside the Kyudai Main Line and a rare reminder of early rail travel in the region. Kusu also embraces its literary association through a local fairy-tale theme that gives the town a distinctive identity.
