- Oita Pref. Oitashi Katsuragi
- This park is approximately 25 minutes by bus from Oita Station, right near the Junkyo-koen Mae stop. Otomo Sorin was Bungo Province's feudal lord during the Warring States Period. He was a Christian, so missionary work flourished under him and eventually over 30,000 people converted. A ban on Christianity was put in place after his death. It was fiercely repressed, and many Christians were put to death throughout the land, including about 200 that were executed when Bungo Province collapsed in the Edo Period (1603-1868). The park with its monuments pays witness to this horrible chapter in history and memorializes the victims.

- Oita Oita-shi Kentokumachi 1-6-15
- "This longstanding ""yoshoku"" Japanese-style Western food restaurant, a 10-minute drive from the Oita Interchange on the Higashikyushu Expressway, is one of the establishments said to have invented toriten chicken tempura, one of Oita's favorite comfort foods. Toriten is made by covering chicken with tempura batter and deep frying it, and it resembles yet is different from karaage, a style of fried chicken popular across Japan. The restaurant's toriten is crisp and juicy; try it with a splash of ponzu citrus sauce for a light, refreshing flavor. The Toriten Set meal is particularly popular and comes with rice, salad, and miso soup. The restaurant also serves other chicken dishes such as roast chicken, as well as tonkatsu breaded pork cutlets, deep fried white fish, and more. The restaurant is only open during lunchtime and is closed on Sundays, Mondays, and holidays."

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.
