Japan Travel: Usuki Samurai District, Castle Ruins Historical Road, Oita
【★036★Oita Usuki Samurai District】
Subscribe link ：
Usuki's samurai district is located at its city center, and parts of it keep the flavor of an old castle town with their stone paved alleys lined by premodern looking houses.
The main attraction is the Nioza Historical Road, a 200 meter photogenic narrow alleyway which runs along temples and residences built in Edo Period style architecture, making a feeling of the past. Parallel to it runs the Haccho Oji Shopping Street, a merchant street with a neighborhood atmosphere, lined by shops selling local specialties, groceries and etc. Walking westwards for about five minutes brings you to Ryugenji, with nice three-storied pagoda.
The Ruins of Usuki Castle
It is located on the eastern side of the district. Currently a neighborhood park is located on the former castle grounds. Unfortunately, most of the castle buildings including the main keep have been destroyed over the years, and today the only prominent structures remaining are a turret and a gate standing along the park's entrance.

[Cinematic] Usuki Castle Ruins - Oita - 臼杵城跡
What used to be a small island is Usuki city and its most beautiful castle. The Usuki Castle ruin and its keep are today a nice and quiet park overlooking the city. The only part of the gates, its turrets, and a small temple remain of the main structure.

Ce qui fut autrefois une petite île ainsi que le plus beau château de la ville d’Usuki, les ruines du château d’Usuki sont désormais un beau parc reposant qui domine la ville. Seulement les portes, les tourelles, et un petit temple sont ce qu’il reste de la structure de base.

Taketa City in Oita Prefecture
Have you ever heard of Taketa City in Oita Prefecture? If you are looking for something different from artificial tourist attractions, Taketa is a place for you to go. It takes about 150min by car from Hakata Station to get there. Taketa is abundant in amazing landscapes. For example, the Kuju Highland is breathtakingly beautiful especially when you go off the main roads. Furthermore, the ruins of Oka Castle are famous all over Japan. The castle`s main structures were torn down due to the Meiji restoration. Its grand stone walls which still stand there were built with astonishing technique, making the castle ruins outstanding up to today.From the 325m high plateau near the castle, you can get a spectacular view. Once a year, Chikuraku (Taketa Bamboo Lantern Festival) is held. More than 20,000 lanterns create a romantic and kind of mysterious atmosphere. A unique festival you shouldn`t miss. Taketa also has Onsen to offer. Nagayu Hot Spring are highly carbonated and popular.

Usuki Stone Buddhas, Oita - 臼杵石仏●大分 - Japan As It Truly Is
The Usuki Stone Buddhas are a mysterious collection of carved stone Buddhas made in the 12th century. Nobody knows why.
The centuries have taken their toll on some of the figures, and some protective measures have been made to preserve them for the future. But you can still see some astonishing artwork and detail in some of them, and if you plan to be in the area, are certainly worth a look.
Is anything you do going to be admired 9 centuries from now?
The Usuki Stone Buddhas (臼杵磨崖仏, or 臼杵石仏) are a rare gem off the beaten path in rural Oita, so go discover them before the tourist crowds do.

Open 6AM-7PM (until 6 PM Oct-Mar)

AMAZING BEPPU HELLS Japanese Hot Springs Tour
Going to hell in Beppu! Tour of the Hells of Beppu: amazing Japanese hot springs with boiling water, a red lake, 100°C geyser, mud bubbles and more.
SUBSCRIBE for more Japan vlogs and ideas for things to do in Kyushu.
We went on a day trip from Fukuoka to Beppu on the Sonic Limited Express train (about 2 hours). From Beppu Station you can take the bus to the first 5 hells in the Kannawa district, then another bus to the final 2 hells. The hells we visited are: Umi Jigoku, Oniishibozu Jigoku, Kamado Jigoku, Oniyama Jigoku, Shiraike Jigoku, Chinoike Jigoku and Tatsumaki Jigoku. They're all natural hot springs, the same type as found in Japanese onsen. They really are so strange and unusual, and this was the highlight of my time in Kyushu.
