Oita trip planner

The gateway to a wealth of dynamic landscapes and some of the country's most atmospheric religious and cultural sites, Oita, in touristic terms, acts primarily as a transport hub. The city itself offers some popular nightlife spots, where locals hang out drinking mugi shochu, a locally made spirit. But trips to Oita focus on what lies across the prefecture. Onsen resort towns, glitzy and remote, commercial and otherwise, have become the main places to base oneself in the prefecture, while trips up to see ancient temple complexes across the monkey-filled mountains add a little adventure to all the relaxation.
