Oita City History Museum

This was the head temple of the former Bungo Province. Today there are very few structures remaining, but the park has markers over each place where a building once stood with information and pictures of the structure.

The permanent collection features art from Oita from the end of the Edo Period to the present, including many nanga art, which was particularly popular in Bungo Province (part of modern Oita Prefecture). There are also special exhibits which change throughout the year.

A popular hang-out place for locals on the roof of AmuPlaza Oita, shopping complex directly connected to the station. There is a train for kids to ride, a pagoda-shaped look-out, a shrine, and restaurants. It's even more attractive at night when everything lights up.

The onsen is located on the 19-21 floors of Oita City Building offering a spectacular view over the city from the hot springs.

Built by renowned architect Shigeru Ban, the building is as much of an attraction as the art inside. The museum's permanent collection contains over 3,000 works from artists from around Oita Prefecture. There are also special exhibits, including international exhibits, that change throughout the year.

Nicknamed "Umitamago", this is the local aquarium with walrus and dolphin shows.
