2025 Taketa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

A hidden place! Truly Oku Bungo. A small inn at the foot of Mt. Sobo [Minshuku Seiryu] I went to a rural inn with a great view where you can hear the babbling of the river and eat wonderful food⭐️ All ingredients are locally produced✨ The owner trained in cooking both in Japan and abroad and serves creative kaiseki. Exciting dishes according to the season are brought out one by one at the right time❤️ Dinner on this day was 10 dishes starting with cheese chawanmushi topped with oysters from Oiri Island. All the sashimi, including flounder and golden salmon roe, are local. There was also plenty of freshly picked vegetables with a rich flavor♪ The fruit Shiraae to cleanse the palate was mixed with a rich cream. The scorched rice cooked in a pot that was served halfway through was sweet! The fish dish I went to fishing every day was salt-grilled flounder. Was river fish really this delicious? 🐟 The sauteed Oita brand pork "Kome no Megumi" is so delicious and smooth that you can bite into it with your teeth. By the time you finish off with a Japanese dessert, your heart and stomach are full and full❤️ The broth is so fragrant and delicious that the miso soup at breakfast is irresistible❤️ 8,800 yen for one night and two meals! The food alone is worth more than that, but it's also very comfortable, and you can use the cypress-scented bath for private use♨️ They're also very thoughtful, turning off the lights in the hallway in stages. The futons are fluffy. Coffee and tea are set up in a separate room and you can drink as much as you like☕️ The air conditioner and fan heater are heated, but in winter your feet get cold, so we recommend bringing warm pajamas😊 There is one room on the first floor and one on the second floor. Two rooms per day. There is a toilet on the second floor, so there is no stress of running into other guests☝️ There is some blackening from aging and some dirt on the washroom, but you don't need to worry about small details at a guesthouse♪ When traveling to Oita, it's fun to stay in a big hotel, but it's also great to stretch your legs and stay an extra night at a guesthouse in a remote area💓 In the surrounding area, you can enjoy nature with the "Takeda Spring Water," one of the 100 famous waters in Japan, "Kanbara Valley," and the beautiful "Shirasui Dam." Wi-Fi available Washlet available Hair dryer in the bath Towels and bath towels available No yukata or pajamas 💰Price per person: 8,800 yen for one night and two meals Cash only The owner speaks English! Check-in 4:00 p.m. Check-out 11:00 a.m. I was able to get there by using the phone number on the rental car navigation system. The road is deep in the mountains and there are some narrow places, but it's not a complicated road, so I think you can get there without any problems by entering the address 💡 The mountain road becomes pitch black when it gets dark, so go while it's still light ☀️ 📍Address: 1925 Kanbara, Taketa City, Oita Prefecture #Taketa #Oita #Oita Trip #Secret Place #Gourmet Guest House #B&B Seiryu #Accommodation Travel Record

It is said that this park is the second largest flower field in Japan after Furano. The area is indeed very large, so we first took a sightseeing bus to tour the park. The driver of the sightseeing bus was very attentive. He stopped halfway to let us take pictures and also took family photos for us, so it felt really worth it! Because it is located high in the mountains, the temperature is obviously colder than in the city, but it is a good opportunity for us to get a sneak peek at the red leaves. The flower fields surrounded by mountains present another beautiful scene. After taking pictures, I sat on a wooden chair and quietly enjoyed the beautiful scenery in front of me. It was really a beautiful thing. #Overseas Travel #Japan #Family Travel #See the Earth in an Instant

"Suijin no Mori" is located in Nagayu Onsen, Taketa City, Oita Prefecture. Nagayu Onsen is famous for its carbonated springs, but this one was especially amazing! Carbonated springs = carbon dioxide, so when you enter a hot spring full of carbon dioxide, your brain determines that your body is lacking oxygen and commands your body to carry oxygen, which improves circulation and warms you from the inside. The carbon dioxide that was blown out and accumulated near the hot spring outlet made it really hard to breathe. I had to stand up every now and then to breathe in fresh air. I was surprised at how concentrated the hot spring ingredients were, so much so that they crystallized! It's definitely worth going at least once. *The spot is a dam, but it's a hot spring lodge that you can stop by to enjoy.

The Kuju Mountains lie in Oita Prefecture. Near the summit of Mt. Taisen (1,786m above sea level), the third highest mountain in the mountain range, lies a small crater lake called Oike. The autumn leaves around Oike are the most beautiful in the Kuju Mountains, and it is very popular! Many people of all ages and genders flock to the area in October during the autumn foliage season. It is 12km one way from the trailhead, so it takes at least 8 hours to make a day trip, starting before dawn. There is a campsite and a mountain lodge (with hot spring) at the halfway point, so many climbers come for a two-day, one-night trip. When I visited, there was rain, thick fog, and wind from the morning, so I couldn't see the beautiful reflection of Oike, but it was still breathtakingly beautiful! The rain-soaked maples turned a deep red, and we enjoyed a beautiful autumn foliage climb. Photo on Oct 24, 2022 This is called 'Oike' volcanic small lake of Mt. Taisenzan on the peak, which belongs to the larger volcanic Kuju massif in the center of the Japanese island Kyushu. This mountain is said to be the most gorgeous fall foliage of the mountains in Kuju massif!! The weather on the mountain is variable, and it had been getting deep foggy and raining after leaving the peak of Taisenzan. Anyway, it's truly worth climbing to Mt. Taisenzan in fall as well as early summer! #tripdomestictravel #oitaprefecture #autumnfoliage #mountainclimbing #spectacularview

(The first and second pictures are dinner) The meat was tender, and the vegetables from our own garden were delicious. The river fish Enoha bone crackers were also the best☺️ The rice is Hitomebore from Oita. The legendary Enoha Chazuke, which is smoked over time, is also delicious 👏👏 The hotel was quiet and relaxing ☺️ This is a place I would like to stay at again and again. ———————————————————- 📍Location: 7443-1 Nagayu, Naoiri-cho, Taketa-shi, Oita Prefecture About 20 minutes by car from JR Bungotakada Station #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵 #100TravelStyles #FriTabi #DomesticTravel
