[M.MIURA] Established 25 years ago. Exquisite southern French cuisine by a chef who trained at a three-star restaurant in France 🇫🇷✨ The fluffy local conger eel quiche is served with a colorful green rapeseed flower sauce. The wild kuruma prawns are cooked through, but still plump and almost alive✨ The soup, which is clearly made with care, is a blend of daikon mochi and root vegetables⭐️ The fish and meat are cooked to perfection🔥 The sauce is deep! I felt happy by the time I finished eating😊 Four courses for both lunch and dinner. 5,500 yen, 11,000 yen, 16,500 yen, 22,000 yen. This time, I chose the 5,500 yen course, which included fish and meat dishes of this quality! I'm amazed❤️ In a calm atmosphere, the owner's mother serves the food. Although she's not as sophisticated as a waiter, she feels warm. It's a place in the middle of nowhere in Kitsuki, but we drove there just for this restaurant 🚗 Located about 15 minutes by car from Oita Airport! Recommended for before or after a flight ⭐️ 📍Address: 1807-5 Morie, Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-15:00, 17:30-22:00 Reservation required 15 minutes by car from Oita Airport 🚗 If you take the bus, it's right at the "Morie" stop on the Kuniki Line 🚌 About an hour by car from Oita Station 🚗 #Kitsuki #OitaGourmet #MichelinOita #MichelinKumamotoOita #Spring0yenTrip

[Hinata-ya] A beautiful triangle-shaped, lively okoze🐟 The sashimi is elegant with its unique crisp texture. The kuruma shrimp has a sweet aroma when you bite into it♪ Locally caught fish dishes such as sea bream and yellowtail are also available. Okoze is poisonous, but it is a specialty store, so you can feel safe⭐️ The room we were shown to is an old building, but it is a very spacious Japanese-style room with 12 tatami mats plus a corridor like a veranda, and you can open the sliding doors to go to the washroom and toilet⭐️ Beppu Bay is outside the window✨ There is no elevator, so you have to go up and down a very steep staircase. You also have to use the stairs to go to the bath. Nakai-san was always there to take care of us, and it was a homely atmosphere 🏠 💰Price per person: 14,300 yen for one night with two meals 📍Location: 4776-4 Morie, Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture #Kitsuki #Oita #OitaTrip #0YenTripNovember

Some places you visit — others you truly live. For me, Kitsuki felt like stepping back in time.#kitsuki Wearing a rented traditional yukata and walking through the preserved samurai district, I felt transported to the Edo period. The stone paths, white walls, and peaceful atmosphere make it one of Japan’s most authentic historical towns. Climbing toward Kitsuki Castle overlooking the sea in full attire was unforgettable — you don’t just see history here, “you become part of it”. #kitsukicastle Holding a #katana, trying on samurai armor, and even joining a traditional tea ceremony made the experience immersive and meaningful. Each moment felt earned, not just observed. It brings out a childlike excitement while deepening your respect for the legacy of Japan’s warriors. Kitsuki isn’t just sightseeing — it’s living history. Highly recommended for culture lovers and anyone who’s ever dreamed of being a samurai for a day. 🗡️✨#samuraihistory

#hellohalloween Perched on a steep hill in the charming town of Kitsuki, Kitsuki Castle is one of Japan's smallest and most picturesque castles. Known as the "castle on a sandbank," its unique location and the surrounding, beautifully preserved samurai district make it a delightful and easily manageable destination for a solo traveler seeking a quiet slice of history. My Solo Itinerary: · Morning – A Castle in Miniature: I started by crossing the iconic red Suehiro Bridge and began the short, steep climb up the stone path to the castle. The main keep is a compact, three-story wooden reconstruction that feels intimate and personal. Inside, it's a small museum showcasing samurai armor and local history. The top floor offers a stunning, panoramic view of the Beppu Bay and the unique "sandwich" town layout below. · Afternoon – Samurai District Strolls: I spent the bulk of my time exploring the remarkable Kitsuki Samurai Residences District. The town is built on a narrow peninsula, with the northern slope lined with samurai homes and the southern slope with merchant houses. I visited preserved residences like the Ohara and Nomi houses, walking through their tranquil gardens and tatami rooms. Wandering these quiet, historic streets felt like stepping back in time. · Evening – Local Sake & River Views: I descended into the merchant district and found a local restaurant to try fresh seafood from Beppu Bay. I ended my day by walking along the Kitsuki River, admiring the traditional buildings reflected in the water, and perhaps sampling local sake from a brewery in town. Why Kitsuki Castle is Perfect for Solo Travelers: · Compact & Uncrowded: You can thoroughly explore the castle and the entire samurai district in just a few hours at your own pace. · Incredibly Photogenic: The view from the castle, the classic samurai houses, and the charming streets are a photographer's dream. · A Complete Historical Package: The experience isn't just the castle; it's the entire preserved town that brings the Edo period to life. · Easy & Accessible: A short walk from Kitsuki Station, making it a stress-free and rewarding trip. Tips for Your Visit: · 🎟️ Buy the combined ticket for the castle and the samurai residences for the best value. · 🚶 Wear comfortable shoes for the hill climb and walking the stone-paved streets. · 📸 Visit the "photo spot" at the base of the hill for the classic postcard view of the castle on the ridge. · 🍊 Try the local dekopon (a sweet citrus fruit) if in season. Kitsuki is a hidden gem—a perfectly preserved postcard from the past that’s ideal for a peaceful solo exploration. · -- Hashtags: #SoloJapan #KitsukiCastle #Oita #JapaneseCastle #SamuraiTown #HiddenJapan #TravelKyushu #SoloTravel

The approximately 1000m2 (approx. 300 sq. m) grounds are filled with seasonal flowers, enabling you to hear the birdsong and feel the natural surroundings.

It's about 30 minutes from Oita Airport, but while it's inconveniently located without a car, the staff are attentive and attentive, making it a place you'll want to return to. #OitaOnsenPrefecture #KitsukiCity #OitaCafe ▪️Sounds of the Forest 3710-2-3 Ouchi, Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Last orders 5:00 PM 0978-63-3582 [Closed] Wednesdays and the second Tuesday of every month

Yahata Nata Shrine is one of the most distinctive shrines in Oita Prefecture. The red torii gate stands quietly on the sea, creating a picturesque contrast with the blue sky and ocean, captivating visitors to pause and admire. Walking along the approach to the shrine, you are surrounded by pine trees, enveloped in a serene and solemn atmosphere that seems to wash away the hustle and bustle of daily life. This place is not just for worship but also a spot where you can experience the harmony of nature and faith. Especially in September, when the weather is refreshing and the sea breeze gently blows, the journey feels even more tranquil and rejuvenating. If you visit Oita, take a moment to stop here and immerse yourself in the beauty of the sea and the shrine.

Located about 30 minutes away from Oita Airport by public road, Kitsuki City Seaside Dream Park is a park for both adults and children. Facing Morie Bay, this park offers the ocean breeze and the scent of the sea. This park is fun for both adults and children. The park is designed with marine life as its motif. Even an adult like me will want to play! In addition to large playground equipment, there are many other attractions, including a sandbox, swings, seesaws, and a ropeway (slide). Morie Bay is also home to horseshoe crabs, a rare species in Japan, which can descend into the sea at low tide. Many wild birds visit each season, so you can enjoy bird watching at the bird watching hut. It's rare to find a park where you can do so many different things! There are supermarkets, fast food restaurants, and fried chicken shops nearby, so we recommend getting takeout and enjoying your meal while admiring the ocean view! ■Kitsuki City Seaside Dream Park 665-14 Kitahama, Kitsuki-cho, Kitsuki City ・Playground equipment, multi-purpose plaza, outdoor stage ・Running course ・Tennis court (reservation required) 　Culture and Sports Promotion Division (0978-63-5558) ・Free parking 🚻 #OitaOnsenPrefecture #OitaTourism #Kitsuki

Thought I had seen all the sunrises and sunsets Until I met Oita... Sharing two stunning scenic spots! ⛩️ Hachiman Nada Shrine Located in the center of Nada Beach, the main hall of the shrine is on an island off the coast, and the torii gate stands majestically on the reef. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland rising from the sea 🌊 The most special thing here is that two of the three gods are goddesses! Therefore, it is also known as the holy place of fate, love, and reunion 💕 In addition, I strongly recommend waiting for a sunrise! The moment the sun slowly rises from the sea level, with the torii gate standing in the sea, it is simply a stunning view! The orange morning sun makes the whole picture super dreamy ✨ solemn and sacred, really worth getting up early. 📍 Address: Nada 229, Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture 🌅 Sunset at Matama Beach Exclusive to Oita Prefecture! The sunset can be seen falling into the sea level. On a clear evening, the whole sky is dyed crimson, the orange sunset is reflected on the water, and finally slowly sinks into the center, a dreamlike scene that is intoxicating. Because of its stunning sunset scenery, it has been reported by TV programs many times, and it has been selected as one of the 🏆 "Japan's Top 100 Sunsets". Even at the lowest tide, Matama Beach will not dry up completely, leaving a shallow tidal beach. 📸 Photography tips The shallow tidal beach and the golden water surface under the sunset are intertwined, capturing a dreamy photo! 📍 Address: Usuno, Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture, Matama Beach This is probably the legendary stunning view! The moment the sun sets, the whole world is quiet 🌅

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Oita Agricultural Park is a large agricultural park with a variety of trees and flowers. There is a field of kochia flowers, which is a highlight for tourists visiting the city during the time when the leaves of the kochia change from green to red in the fall, from October to November. After that, they turn brown and form round bushes. This agricultural park is located in Oita, Fukuoka, Japan. #oita #fukuoka #kyushu #japan

This time I found three golf courses in Beppu, one of which is Beppu Golf Club. This is a club with almost a hundred years of history, the club has two 18 holes, this time we chose the course, the fairways of this course are relatively wide and flat, the maintenance of fairways and greens is quite good. However, perhaps it is the peak season for playing, there are also many tourists and local customers coming to play, so the speed of playing is relatively slow, the first nine holes took three hours to finish 😅 The package we booked includes lunch, and after various taxes, it is only 6000 yen per person, very very great value⭐️ #Japan Golf Trip
