If you find yourself with a bit of extra time and you don’t mind traveling 16 miles, take a look at Hita. This place offers loads of things to keep you engaged. Sapporo Beer Factory, Kizan Park and Tsukikuma Park alone justify the drive. Beppu is another wonderful option. It’s 18 miles away and has tons of awesome things to do. Hells of Beppu, Takegawara Onsen and Kijima Kogen Park are just the start.
