偏屈な老人が管理人ですが虫の居所が悪かったのでしょうか非常に不愉快な対応をされました。景観も立ち入り禁止等の看板が目立つ為残念に損なわれており、見事に管理人の神経質さを物語っています。 5000円払って嫌な思いをされたい方は是非
Tanoura Beach

Leisure / Hobbies

Oita Oita-shi Kanzaki Hama 4253

"A 10-minute drive from JR Oita Station and a 15-minute drive from the Oita Interchange on the Oita Expressway. This seaside park is located right next to the Tanoura bus stop. The park has been designated a ""Lover's Sanctuary"" by the Japan Tourism Agency-backed Lover's Sanctuary Project NPO. If you look closely, you can find heart-shaped stones in the stone wall of the park's small chapel building. In most years, swimming at the beach is permitted from early July through late August, but be aware that the hours when the beach is open may differ occasionally during this period. One of the great things about the park is the efforts that have been made to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy themselves here. For example, the park has off road wheelchairs available. During the two month span it is open, the beach sees around 60 thousand visitors."

Oita Nakatsu-shi Sanko Moriyama 63

"This botanical garden can be reached by heading east from the point where the Inumaru River and Nakatsu Bypass intersect and is situated on the side of the road just past the Moriyamaohashi Crossing.

Oita Areas

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.
