𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Oita𓂃 𓈒𓏸Yufu City Oike Springs・Kurodake Your body will be happy with the negative ions, so head to Oike Springs Even though it's surrounded by nature, there are well-maintained walking paths around, making it easy to walk, which is one of its charms This is the source of the Asonogawa River, where the springs are gushing out of the water that Kurodake has filtered over a long period of time It's like a Ghibli world, and I was walking around Kurodake, where the virgin forest remains, saying that it felt like a kodama was about to appear It rained on and off that day, but thanks to that, the green of the trees looked lush and more lustrous, which was good in its own way 🥹♡w It's a pale blue color, and the colorful water moss swaying in the spring water is very beautiful 🌿 You can freely draw the spring water, which has a mellow and gentle taste. It is said to contain a lot of minerals. Bring a tumbler with you. lol The spring water that flows endlessly from underground feels mysterious and never gets old 🥹 Near Oike Pond, there is a zelkova tree called the "tree that grabs rocks". The roots are thickly covered 🪨, which is impressive. There are two types of "tree that grabs rocks", one big and one small, and the smaller one is more famous. I think, but personally, I like the first photo of the two of us sitting on the bigger one 📸 lol On rainy days, the quality of the photos is usually low... it's hard to walk... But I often get down (lol) I had so much fun here that I didn't have enough time 😭 There are so many photos I want to post...! lol 　　　　　　　　　　 *Please note that due to the disaster, the "Meisui Falls" is closed to traffic. 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website ¥100 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website Asono, Shonai-cho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #oitaprefecture #yufucity #oitatrip

About an hour's drive from Yufuin is the Oike Springs. This spot is beautiful with its pure spring water. The indescribable turquoise blue is so pretty, it looks like ink has been dropped into it. This water has been certified as one of the "100 Best Waters of Japan" and "15 Best Waters of Toyonaka", and you can see locals coming to get some. There is also a lush forest surrounding it, with trees that seem to be growing out of large rocks, like something out of a Ghibli world. It feels like you can hear echoes at any moment! It's also a great place for hiking, and if you walk a little further past the spring water, you will apparently find the "Meisui Falls". To help protect this beautiful forest and spring water, a cleaning contribution of 100 yen is required upon entry. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Oike Springs 📍Asono, Shonai-cho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Domestic travel trip #Yufu City #Oike Springs #Oike #Yufuin trip

Located about an hour's drive from Oita City, this place is filled with Ghibli-like charm. There were only a few groups of tourists. The humidity is not too high, making it easy to explore without sweating too much. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, simply amazing. As you walk, you will reach the famous Otaki Waterfall. The area near the waterfall is extremely cool, and just sitting there for a while allows you to enjoy plenty of negative ions. Additionally, there are restrooms and a coffee shop near the entrance. ☕️ ⚠️Caution⚠️ The road to the location is a narrow mountain path, so a compact car is recommended.

I went to Oike Springs in Oita Prefecture, which I had seen in a magazine. 🌳 ⁡ It's the source of the Asono River, and watching the beautiful water springing out makes my heart calm. 💕 ⁡ There is still virgin forest in Oike Springs, and among them is a "tree that grabs rocks" that has its roots in the rocks! It has a fantastical atmosphere that makes you feel like a kodama from Princess Mononoke might appear, and even the way the moss grows is divine. 🥺 ⁡ When I actually saw the tree, I felt a lot of power. ✨ ⁡ I got a lot of power. ✌️ #besttrip2023 #powerspot #oitatourism
