Last updated 2026-09-25 — Located in the northeastern part of Kyushu, Oita Prefecture boasts the largest number of hot springs and the highest volume of spring water in Japan. Its hot spring towns, represented by Beppu and Yufuin, have long been favored by domestic and international tourists. To help more people get to know this fascinating hot spring destination, the Oita Prefectural Government and the Oita Tourism Association have specially invited Allen Chao and Claire Lin to serve as tourism ambassadors to promote travel in Oita.

Beppu is Japan’s most famous and iconic hot spring town, best known for the “Beppu Hatto” — eight hot spring resorts located throughout the city. Oita Prefecture is also a leading destination for sports tourism. A cycling route built along the remnants of old railway tracks stretches 35 kilometers from Yabakei, one of Japan’s most renowned autumn foliage spots, to Yamaguni Town. It is the largest cycling path in western Japan and has been ranked as the No. 1 “most beautiful cycling path in Japan.”

The Oita Prefectural Government and Tourism Association will hold a travel promotion event this Saturday (September 5) at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, where visitors can learn more about Oita’s many tourist attractions. Interested travelers are welcome to attend.

Event time: 11:00–18:00, September 5
Event location: In front of the National Concert Hall Plaza
