Bungotakada

Bungotakada, Historical city in Oita Prefecture, Japan

Bungo-Takada is a city located in the western part of the Kunisaki Peninsula that spreads across plains along the Katsura River. Mountain valleys fan out from Mount Futago, shaping the surrounding terrain.

Buddhist temples were built in the mountains of the Kunisaki Peninsula during the Nara and Heian periods. These temples remain central to the area's religious heritage.

The Showa-no-machi district displays the look of 1950s Japan, with old shops and buildings showing post-war business architecture. Walking through the streets, you see how locals move through this preserved commercial landscape.

This region is known for growing vegetables, buckwheat, peanuts, and other crops that are sold locally and beyond. You can explore farmland and find fresh produce as you move through the area.

The Horan-enya festival in January draws participants who celebrate in minimal clothing as part of an ancient tradition. Few visitors know about this striking ritual that has persisted for centuries.
