City
Oita
Hot springs, and two very different anime destinations: the Attack on Titan museum in the author's hometown of Hita, and Sanrio's outdoor theme park Harmonyland.
Districts
In this area
Beppu
Japan's largest hot spring output. Hachiman Kamado Shrine here carries an old legend about demons and a flight of 99 stone steps.
Hita
The hometown of the Attack on Titan author. A dam wall 94 metres high stands in for Wall Maria, with statues of the three children below it.
Hiji (Harmonyland)
Sanrio's outdoor theme park, in the hills near Beppu. Quieter than Puroland and built around rides rather than indoor shows.
