[Kitsuki] Featured in the Michelin Oita Guide ✨ A famous restaurant that everyone recognizes ✨
[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 🚗

[Kitsuki] A rare Japanese-style inn that serves mainly okoze cuisine.
[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

Edo style🤩Kitsuki Castle Town🤞🏻Japan's top 100 castles🫶🏻The only sandwich castle town
Most famous cities in Japan🗾Warring States are located in Kanto and Kansai
The most famous city in Kyushu is probably Kumamoto Castle😮
However, if in the history of the Warring States period Ni see actually the pestle building is quite famous 🤔
Like many famous cities of the Warring States Period, the castle was abandoned as early as 1871 during the Meiji period😳
At that time, only the 厫武 family house remained 😩 be completely preserved
However, then the simulated castle of Tsukizuki City was rebuilt
Since the castle town was built according to the terrain on both sides in those days
So the northern and southern Taiwan samurai yashiki are respectively the hills on both sides sandwiching the merchant's town in the middle
And this is Sandwich Castle Town
And here is the only remaining sandwich castle town in Japan 🫣 quite historical value
The special terrain of the northern and southern Taipei samurai yashiki created many special slopes🤫 and the Japanese call it a saka
On both sides of the ramp are Japan🇯🇵 unique stone walls and many wooden buildings😳 Many tourists and photographers will come here to shoot 🤭 take many photos
Walk into the castle town and you will find many old shops that have been left since the Edo period🫣 The land is mostly based on soy sauce, miso, breweries, etc
These are all local characteristics 😍😁 It's no problem to buy them as souvenirs 😆
And there are quite a few Japanese-style buildings left behind😳
All are scattered on the large and small slopes 😁 so if you time permit ✅ and enough then you can follow the sightseeing map 🗺️ so wander in the streets and alleys 🫣 for you to understand the history, humanities of the building is very helpful 🤩
In the shopping streets on both sides you can notice a small shop selling shokuzuki representative food treasure rice
I found out on the internet that it is the bean rice cooked with ginkgo so I call it birth rice😳
In addition, I don't know if you will notice the canal covers in different places in Japan🇯🇵. Sometimes they will use local history, culture and famous objects to make the canal covers that represent the local area❤️
And the pestle built is the squid👍🏻 Maybe you may not know what it is
In fact, the reputation is the living fossil in Hong Kong🇭🇰 should be called horseshoe crab😆
Although called crab but actually it is not a crab 😅 In fact it is a relative of spider 🕷️ scorpion 🦂️ and trilobite 🤣🤣
However, in Japan it was called カブトガニ😌😌 because I thought it looked like a crab with a helmet
The slope of the entire castle town of Hokuya nozaka is the most famous😳 Everyone will definitely come here to take pictures📸️
If you look closely, you will find that many of the sightseeing posters of Kitsuki City are shot here!! ️‼ ️Everyone must take a card in the city😌 That's considered to be here

🏯 Kitsuki: Walking Through One of Japan’s Best-Preserved Samurai Town
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

The Samurai Town on a Hill: My Solo Visit to Kitsuki Castle, Ōita
#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.

[Onsen Prefecture Oita] Relax and enjoy a soothing time in the forest [Sounds of the Forest]
#0YenTravel2025Autumn
Currently renovating the owner's grandparents' home nestled in the mountains,
"Mori no Neiro" has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you've returned home.
The approximately 1000m2 (approx. 300 sq. m) grounds are filled with seasonal flowers,
enabling you to hear the birdsong and feel the natural surroundings.
The shaved ice I ordered this time was carefully crafted, fluffy, and
the sauce was absolutely delicious!
From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, they also offer a lunch menu, including Thai-style black sesame curry.
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.

Yahata Nata Shrine: Stunning Views of the Torii Gate on the Sea
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.

Solo Sojourn at Kitsuki Castle: Japan’s Tiniest Treasure! 🏯🌊
#mytraveldiary
3-Day Kitsuki Itinerary for Solo Travelers
Day 1: Arrival & Castle Whimsy
Fly into Oita Airport (30-min bus to Kitsuki, ¥720). Head to the reconstructed 1970 main keep of Kitsuki Castle, Japan’s smallest—climb for sweeping Seto Inland Sea views from its plateau perch. Explore the onsite museum’s samurai armor exhibits (¥300 entry). Stroll the “sandwich” town layout: samurai districts flanking the merchant quarter. Rent a kimono at Warakuan near City Hall for a photo-worthy wander. Dine on fresh sashimi at a quiet izakaya, reflecting on the Edo-era charm.
Day 2: Samurai Streets & Residences
Delve into Kitadai samurai district: visit preserved homes like Isoya, Ohara, and Sano Residences (combo ticket ¥800 for 7 sites). Peek into tatami rooms and gardens at Kitsuki Castle Town Museum. Wander to Kitahamaguchi Guardhouse, the last feudal checkpoint. Afternoon: hike gentle trails to Seien Shrine below the castle. Evening: unwind with green tea at a 280-year-old teahouse, journaling the day’s historical whispers.
Day 3: Local Vibes & Farewell
Browse Kitsuki Furusato Industry Hall for souvenirs like local crafts. Stroll to Chosho-ji Temple for serene gardens and autumn foliage (if in season). Rent a bike to explore the Kunisaki Peninsula’s edge, spotting coastal views. End with coffee at Retrokan, a Showa-era nod to 1960s Japan. Bus back to Oita or Beppu, heart full of quiet wonder.
Travel Tips for Solo Travelers (Late 30s & Up)
· Stay Cozy: Choose a guesthouse like Return in the samurai quarter for authentic, safe immersion—walkable and intimate.
· Join Lightly: Small kimono tours or history walks let you connect casually while savoring solitude.
· Stay Safe: Kitsuki’s compact and secure; mind steps on hilly streets and secure bags in rental shops.
· Dine Solo: Izakayas and cafés offer solo-friendly counters—try onsen manju sweets with a book in hand.
· Pack Smart: Comfy shoes for cobblestones, light layers for September’s mild 15-25°C days, and a camera for sea vistas.
· Language Tip: English signage abounds; a “Konnichiwa” (hello) or “Arigatou” (thank you) sparks friendly chats.
Kitsuki’s petite castle and preserved streets enchant solo travelers with Edo-era intimacy and seaside serenity. Ideal for men and women over 30 craving thoughtful discovery.

Oita, the hot spring prefecture ❤️ Fun for both adults and children [Kitsuki City Seaside Dream Park]
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!

[Onsen Prefecture Oita] Feel the sea breeze while visiting [Yahata Nata Shrine] Isn't it rare to find a location like this?
#AbsolutelyFreeTrip
[Yahata Nata Shrine] is a historic shrine built in the Nara period, and is closely related to Usa Hachiman, which is said to be the head temple of the Hachiman Shrine.
Ichikishima, 200m offshore, is the original shrine of Yahata Nata Shrine, and a torii gate is built on a reef.
At high tide, the torii gate appears to float on the sea, and at low tide, you can walk to the gate! ️
This place is also famous as a spot to see the first sunrise of the year.
Nada Coast, which can be seen from Yahata Nata Shrine, has a beautiful sandy beach that stretches for 2 kilometers and has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Best White Sand and Green Pine Beaches and 100 Best Swimming Beaches.
This year, the beach is open until August 11th.

Hidden in Kyushu, Japan's most beautiful scenery! It's really beautiful
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 🌅

Kochia flower field at Oita Agricultural Park
#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.

Beppu Centennial Stadium Experience⛳️🏌🏻♀️
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
