Oita is a prefecture of hot springs, whose capital city is also Oita (大分).  There are so many prestige hot springs in the prefecture, which has attracted Japanese honeymooners.  As is often the case with hot spring place, the prefecture is mountainous, but the prefecture is facing to ocean, too.  This fact makes the prefecture more attractive for tourists.
