Sand, mud and water hot springs tucked away in unspoiled highlands and forests, a place to relax your body and get in touch with nature, home to eight hot springs that have been popular since ancient times. The northern part of Oita is Kunisaki Peninsula, home to historic spiritual sites nestled against lush mountainsides, while inland areas centered in the western part of the prefecture are full of rustic countryside with unspoiled nature and locals.

Kagoshima Prefecture is located at the Southern tip of Kyushu Island, is nicknamed the “Naples of the East” for its bay and relaxing weather.
