    Oita Taketa-shi
    "This gallery and cafe, a five-minute walk from JR Bungo-Taketa Station, operates out of a remodeled public bathhouse which was in use up to 1978. Tubs, faucets, and other bathhouse accoutrements have been left as-is in the first floor dining space, which is still divided into ""men's"" and ""women's"" ""bathing"" areas. Men and women, however, are free to eat and sit down in either area. The cafe's seasonal small dish set meal is particularly popular and comes with homemade udon noodles and various small side dishes made with fresh vegetables. A greengrocer operates right next door, and accordingly the cafe's fresh vegetable juices are also recommended. The second floor is used as a gallery."

    Oita Yufu-shi Yufuincho Kawakami Take Hon 1592-1
    A cafe and bakery facing Lake Kinrin, seen as a symbol of Yufuin. In the terrace seating area, you can enjoy fresh-baked bread while taking in a view of Lake Kinrin's beautiful scenery. The signature croissants, made with natural yeast, have a faint, buttery aroma; crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, these exquisite delicacies have an irresistible texture. The second floor is a gallery and shop space and is also used to hold a variety of seasonal events.

    This is definitely THE place to have coffee in Yufuin. Very nicely decorated with a beautiful ceramic gallery attached and overlooking a lovely pond/lake. Excellent service, and good coffee.. Like...

    金鱗湖周辺を散策中、思いがけず「山下清展」に遭遇し、入ってみたところその展示の充実ぶりに驚きました。山下清といえば、花火の貼り絵くらいしか見たことがなかったため、初期の作品、特に画紙の乏しかった時代に菓子箱のふたやその他あらゆるものに描かれた絵を見るにつけ、この人の貪欲なまでの創作意欲が伺え、胸が熱くなりました。また、手紙や当時の新聞記事など作品以外にも興味深いものが数多く展示されています。ショッ...

    旧大分県施設を簡易改装してオープンした別府市美術館。展示スペースが会議室にパテーションを取り付けただけという、残念なもの。改装予算がなく、暫定的なものだと思うけれど、絵画や美術品がかわいそうな気がする。まあ、逆に考えると市民の作品を展示したりするには、敷居が高くなくてよいのかな？

Oita Areas

around-area-map

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
