    Oita Beppushi-shi Beppu Noguchihara 3030-16

    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.
