 * Takasaki-yama is 2,000 wild Japanese monkeys inhabit Takasaki-yama Mountain, which is 628 meters above sea level and located at the western tip of Oita City. They appear everyday at a gathering location in three groups, A, B and C. The best attraction to Takasaki-yama is when it is time for one group of monkeys to exchange the location with another group. The monkeys try to avoid conflict between the groups, so the group with the most influence arrives at the gathering location first, appearing in a group of several hundred, then departing together in the same group. This grand sight is something which could never possibly be observed at any zoo.

Spa

 * Beppu Spa is located in the center of Beppu City. Rows of hotels and inns, small and large, stand side by side along Ekimae-dori, Nagarekawa-dori and Route 10, about a half of all the hotels and inns are found in this area. Although the numerous restaurants, pubs, and souvenir shops create an evening entertainment spot which attracts many outside visitors, the many public baths which the citizens of the area love to attend transform it into a different place altogether. Not to be excluded is the Takegawara Spa. This particular spa, built with an air of Karahafu-style construction, is very popular to tourists. Here you can take a Suna-yu, or sand bath.
 * Yufuin Spa is located in the Yufuin Basin spreading out at the foot of Mt.Yufu-dake, is blessed with abundant hot water, and numerous hotels, inns and pensions, each elaborately constructed. Shitan-yu is famous as a public bath-house located near Lake Kinrin-ko. The stone paved hill at Yunohira Spa is very artistic, and because it is still remembered for its healing properties, many people make the drive to this public bath-house on the weekends. Tsukahara Spa can be found halfway up Mt.Garan-dake, part of the Tsurumi-dake Mountain System. This hot-spring has a long history of healing properties, especially effective for skin diseases and many visitors come from outside of the prefecture.
