Artistic beauty of underwater life Humorous tricks of sea animals
Facing Beppu Bay, 1,500 fish of 90 species swim in a large migratory tank with a water capacity of 1,250 tons. Seawater flows around a pseudo-rock island in the center of the tank, and this shape allows fish of all sizes to coexist. This shape of tank was the first of its kind in the world, created about 50 years ago. It has been carried over after the renovation. The large coral tank, where tropical fish swim, was the first in Japan to successfully propagate coral using artificial lighting. In the art corner, visitors can see an aquarium that has taken the beauty of sea creatures to the extreme, with metallic fish sparkling and transparent jellyfish shimmering. The walrus and dolphin performance shows are also enjoyable. The walruses' belly flops and throwing kisses, the dolphins' jumps, and the Steller's sea lion's "akkambeh" show will make you burst out laughing.
The catchphrase for Mt. Takasaki is a place where monkeys and nature can be enjoyed to the fullest.
Facing Route 10 along Beppu Bay, Mt. Takasaki is a 628-meter-high, bell-shaped mountain. It is located on the border between Oita City and Beppu City. In 1952, the then mayor of Oita City began feeding the monkeys in an attempt to prevent damage to farming villages and to coexist with them, and this was the beginning of the current appearance of the mountain. In March of the following year, the Takasaki Mountain Nature Zoo was opened. At first, there were only 220 monkeys in Group A. Later, the number of Group A monkeys increased and they were divided into two groups. Group A stopped showing up at the Yoseba on June 1, 2002, and now two groups, Groups B and C, are in charge of the zoo. The monkeys are accustomed to people and come very close to tourists. The staff will be happy to explain the situation of the monkeys to you, and you can see them as they are.

The precincts of the temple are full of sights to see. Step on the lucky fan stone for good luck!
The origin of this shrine is said to be that in 827, a famous monk of Enryaku-ji Temple, Kinke Wako, received a message from Usa Jingu Shrine to invite the deity to the shrine. The deity is said to be Emperor Ojin, Emperor Chuai, and Empress Jingu. As a branch of Usa Jingu Shrine and the first shrine of Bungo (formerly a minor shrine of the national government), the shrine has been revered by the national priests and samurai families. The Hachiman-zukuri main shrine, rebuilt in the Ansei era (1615-1868), is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property. The South Gate, rebuilt in 1866 (Keio 2), is also known as the "Nipporini Gate" because it is engraved with ancient and modern saints, dragons, flowers, birds, and other motifs. On the stone pavement of the approach to the temple, there is a "lucky fan stone," which has long been said to bring good luck if stepped on. The 3000-year-old camphor tree, located to the west of Nandaimon, is 30 m tall, has a root circumference of 34 m, and a trunk circumference of 19 m at 2 m above the ground. The lower part of the trunk is hollow and can accommodate more than ten adults. It is a national natural monument. There is also a "holt tree" with a root girth of 6.4 meters, which is said to have been donated by the Portuguese during the reign of the Otomo clan.
A power spot with a variety of benefits, with a magnificent shrine pavilion in tan lacquer.
One of the oldest shrines in Oita Prefecture dating back to the Heian period, it is said that in 860 (Jougan 2) Fujiwara Asaomi Sekazu, a provincial governor, invited Shisho-taijin from Kasuga-taisha Shrine in Nara to the shrine. The deities are Takemikazuchi no Mikoto, Futsunushi no Mikoto, Amatsukoyane no Mikoto, and Hime no Okami. The shrine has gone through many historical changes, including destruction by the Satsuma-Shimatsu clan and the Pacific War, while the Otomo clan's trade base with the southern barbarians opened up in Kasuga-ura, which leads to the shrine's precincts, and the shrine prospered. The current shrine pavilion was rebuilt in 1967 as part of a war reconstruction project. Located in the center of Oita City, the grounds of the shrine cover an area of approximately 8,000 tsubo (approximately 1,000 m2), and are a forest of greenery and relaxation, as represented by the large kusu (Japanese cinnamon tree) on either side of the approach to the shrine.
The Yakushi Elephant still shows its peaceful face after a thousand years of wind and snow.
Oita Prefecture has many stone Buddhas. This stone Buddha, also called Ishiyakushi, was carved into a fused tuff cliff on the eastern edge of the Ueno hill plateau. The seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai in the center is approximately 3 meters high and is carved with thick, almost round, flesh. The top of the head is coiled in a high knot, and the hair is neatly arranged in a spiral shape. The round face has arched eyebrows, thick eyelids and slanted, downcast eyes. Two pairs of statues in the triadic form remain. On the left is a standing image of Tamonten, flanked on both sides by images of Zenposhi Doji and Kichijo-ten, the wife and child of Tamonten, and on the right by two children, Kongara and Seitaka, flanked on both sides by Fudo-myo-o. It is designated as a national historic site.
This is also a national historic site. Stone Buddha group in a cave in the mountain
Takase Ishibutsu (Stone Buddha) is located in a small cave of coagulated rock at Garansako, at the northern foot of Mt. The cave is 1.8 m high, 4.4 m wide, and 1.5 m deep, with five stone statues of Buddha facing the east: a seated image of Bato Kannon, who dispels evil spirits; a seated image of Nyoirin Kannon, who brings wealth; a seated image of Dainichi Buddha, who dispels evil; a seated image of Daitoku Myoo, who subdues enemies; and a standing image of Jinja Daisho, who protects Buddhism. The five stone statues face the east. They are thought to have been carved around the middle of the 12th century, at the end of the Heian period (794-1185). Because they were carved in a cave, they are well preserved and the colors are still visible. It is designated as a national historic site. Outside the grotto, a small niche on the right side of the cliff still has the three Amitabha images carved in relief on the lotus seat.
