- Kunisaki, Kunisaki-shi, Oita Prefecture
- A peninsula located in northeastern Oita Prefecture. Oita Airport is found on the peninsula. The area centering on the peninsula's highest peak, Mt. Futago, is also known as one of the first places in Kyushu where Buddhism and Buddhism-Shinto syncretism flourished, and a group of temples dedicated to Tendai, a Buddhist sect which originated here, is collectively referred to Rokugo Manzan. Today, the area is still dotted with numerous shrines and temples, such as the Fuki-ji Temple, whose large hall has been designated a national Treasure; and Usa-jingu Shrine, the head shrine of all Hachiman shrines.

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.
