Oita Hidden Gems

La prefectura con mayor caudal termal de todo Japón. El «recorrido por los infiernos» de Beppu muestra siete pozas hirvientes de colores, mientras que Yufuin encanta con su ambiente montañés. El santuario Usa Jingu es la casa madre de los 40 000 santuarios Hachiman del país.

8 spots

La capital termal de Japón: más agua caliente y más fuentes que cualquier otra prefectura, desde ciudades termales humeantes hasta baños de montaña en soledad.

Clima y mejor temporada

Templado y lluvioso; las tierras altas de Kuju son más frescas con algo de nieve. Los onsen están en su mejor momento en otoño e invierno.
