    Oita Taketa-shi Taketamachi 284
    "This restaurant, a six-minute walk from JR Bungo-Taketa Station, primarily serves dishes made with seafood from the seas of Oita and vegetables from Taketa. Located in a part of the city which once flourished as the veritable pantry of the town beneath Oka Castle and which was once known as ""Fish Town"", the restaurant is famous for its ""atama ryori,"" a local dish born out of the necessity of life lived here far from the sea. Atama ryori involves boiling the head of a fish as well as its stomach, air bladder, liver, intestines, and lips and eating it with a sanbaizu sauce (equal parts vinegar, soy sauce, and mirin). An advance reservation is required to enjoy the restaurant's atama ryori. The establishment's whole enoha landlocked masu salmon sushi and its kabosu soba noodles are also popular, as is its brown rice soft-serve ice cream, which is sold at the front of the restaurant."

    Oita Taketa-shi Taketamachi 40
    This longstanding Japanese confectionary shop, a 10-minute walk from JR Bungo-Taketa Station, is the oldest such establishment in the prefecture, having been established in 1804. In the Edo period, the shop was an official purveyor of confections to the bygone Oka Domain. The shop's signature Mikasano and Kojo no Tsuki confections were originally officially presented to the lords of the domain; even today, they are popular and are two of Taketa's most well-known Japanese sweets. Depending on the time of day, you can watch Mikasano being made, and enjoy fresh baked ones along with a cup of tea in the adjoining Sabo Dandan cafe. The shop also sells seasonal namagashi fresh Japanese confections.

    豆田上町通りの北端付近にある小さな饅頭屋です。9月下旬久留米からの行楽客として初来店。テイクアウトしたのは「かんぎえん」と「そば饅頭」。2個ずつで460円だった様に覚えています。賞味期限は明後日までですよ念を押されながら退散。当日のオヤツにしましたが、「かんぎえん」の中に栗が丸ごと1個入っていたのは想定外。外皮の白、抹茶餡の緑、栗の黄という割面もインスタ映え。外皮は山芋入らしく、舌触りがかるかん風...

    Oita Hita-shi Mamedamachi 8-15
    This longstanding Western confectionary shop, established in 1891, stands on the Mamedamachi Shopping Street's Miyuki-dori Street a five-minute drive from Hita Station as well as the Hita Interchange.

The shop's exquisite yuzu citrus fruit yokan jelly is only available for a limited time each year.

    まずお店の店構え、雰囲気が好きです。 店内では試食ができて味が選びやすいです。 一枚物の昔ながらの羊羹はお値段も1500円とお高いですが、味も最高です。羊羹の周りが糖化してザラザラになった時に食べると又美味しさ倍増です。おススメです。

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.
