    Oita Pref. Usashi Ajimumachiminamihata 2-1755-1
    This is Kyushu’s only safari park and one of Japan’s largest, where 1,300 animals of 70 varieties are raised in conditions close to natural. There is an “animal zone” where visitors can observe lions and tigers from a jungle bus or their own car, and a “petting zone” where one can do horse riding or pet small animals, allowing one to enjoy the various aspects and charms of the animals.

    It was a great half day experience there. We were given a tray of animals food to feed them including for kind ones like reindeers and fierce ones like bears and lions. Other than the safari tour...

Here visitors can take in the great outdoors and do things like watch fireflies in June, have fun insect hunting in summer, and take in fall foliage in autumn. In addition, the facility has a bathhouse, open to non-guests as well, whose baths are filled with the waters of a hydrogen carbonate spring said to treat such ailments as rheumatism and lower back pain. These waters can also be drunk for additional health benefits.

    偏屈な老人が管理人ですが虫の居所が悪かったのでしょうか非常に不愉快な対応をされました。景観も立ち入り禁止等の看板が目立つ為残念に損なわれており、見事に管理人の神経質さを物語っています。 5000円払って嫌な思いをされたい方は是非

    "This botanical garden can be reached by heading east from the point where the Inumaru River and Nakatsu Bypass intersect and is situated on the side of the road just past the Moriyamaohashi Crossing. ""Wanwan"" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog barking, and as this park's name implies, one of its greatest merits is the fact that you can enjoy going for a walk with your dog here. In addition, the park offers a service in which you can pay a small fee and have fun walking one of the medium or large breed dogs kept on the grounds. During certain times of the year, the park also offers dog races on Sundays and holidays. Visitors can enjoy the sight of various seasonal flowers throughout the year on the park's vast, 10,000 square meter grounds; herbs and vegetables are also sold at the park."

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.
