Oita Hidden Gems

La préfecture au plus grand débit thermal de tout le Japon. Le « circuit des enfers » de Beppu présente sept bassins bouillonnants de couleurs, tandis que Yufuin charme par son ambiance montagnarde. Le sanctuaire Usa Jingu est la maison mère des 40 000 sanctuaires Hachiman du pays.

9 spots

La capitale thermale du Japon : plus d'eau chaude et plus de sources que toute autre préfecture, des villes thermales fumantes aux bains de montagne en pleine solitude.

Climat et meilleure saison

Tempéré et pluvieux ; les hautes terres de Kuju sont plus fraîches avec un peu de neige. Les onsen sont à leur meilleur en automne et en hiver.
