    Oita Hita-shi Mamedamachi 146-1
    This longstanding Japanese-style sweets cafe, established in 1967, stands on the Mamedamachi Shopping Street' Miyuki-dori Street a four-minute drive from the Hita Interchange and a five-minute walk from Hita Station. The cafe's signature ohagi bean jam cakes are made by hand utilizing highly refined production methods and using ingredients chosen with the utmost care, including not just the azuki bean jam filling and glutinous rice exterior, but even the sugar. These ohagi come in three flavors - anko bean jam, kinako toasted soybean flour, and ume Japanese plum; customers can order as few as two ohagi and takeout is also possible. In addition to sweets, the cafe serves savory foods such as an Inaka-an Set meal, and shiitake mushroom curry. The cafe also serves a variety of seasonal items.

    Oita Hita-shi Mamedamachi 5-20
    This longstanding Japanese confectionary shop, established in 1865, stands on the Mamedamachi Shopping Street's Kamimachi-dori Street a five-minute drive from the Hita Interchange and a 20-minute walk from Hita Station as well as the Hita Bus Terminal. As hinted at by its name, the shop only sells manju steamed buns; of particular note are the shop's Kangien buns and Shufuan buns, inspired by the local historic Kangien school, which are filled with a matcha green tea filling. The shop's large and original kuri soba manju buns, stuffed with a large chestnut, are also famous, and have gained widespread popularity through word of mouth. As the shop closes when its stock for the day runs out, prospective customers are recommended to make a reservation in advance.

    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. As hinted at by its name, the shop primarily sells yokan jelly. The shop's Akashi Hita Yokan jelly is made by hand according to a traditional recipe. Sold as single large blocks wrapped in attractive packaging, as the jelly nears its best-by date, the surface gradually saccharifies and turns white. Happily, customers can also choose jelly wrapped in packs designed to prevent this saccharification from occurring if they so desire. 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。

    日田の豆田の歴史的町並みの2大通り、御幸通り上町通り。 その上町通りの入り口にある菓子舗。日田の名物の一つ そば饅頭を求め入店。 試食品が4種。全部 お試し。塩饅頭も良いが、お宮は、やはり そば饅頭。 お店の看板に負けました、あまおうイチゴの生シュークリーム 1個購入。 イチゴの香りもあり、旨かったそうです。連れ合いの弁。 残念な点。店員が、まったく不愛想。応接の一片もない。 機嫌の悪い日...

    Oita Pref. Hitashi Mamedamachi 11-11

    日田豆田町には和菓子の店がたくさんあり、ここも老舗も一つです。ここは本格的なカステラを作っているのが他の店にはない特徴です。もちっとした長崎風カステラです。他に和菓子が多数あり、一個から購入できるので便利です。 天領日田ひなまつり健康マラソンで沿道を走るので、福寿堂さんがエイドコーナーを出し、カステラを無料で配っていました。

    豆田町にある和菓子屋さんです。 季節商品にはなりますがいちご大福が絶品です。 求肥と白あんの境が分からないほど、なめらか。そこに苺の甘酸っぱさが絶妙です。 苺大福を買い求めるなら早い時間でないと売り切れてしまいます。

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.
