Alternatively, you could ride<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>a taxi from Usa station or Showa no Machi station. Usually, taxi drivers can also act as a guide, provided you are able to communicate in Japanese. My trip with my taxi driver cost me 17, 000 yen (149 US dollars). It is also possible to negotiate a set price in advance, depending on the time, season, and the number of spots you would like to visit.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1NEjlBQfIXcr3oepvavh9a_3I22AXIqzT\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><i>Sponsored by Tourism Oita<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout History Bungotakada has grown until becoming the most attractive city of the Kunisaki Peninsula.\u00a0Therefore it cannot be overlooked if&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":98,"featured_media":31684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pgc_meta":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,1415,23,1],"tags":[1341,2054,1338,1298],"class_list":{"0":"post-31051","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-activities","8":"category-kyushu","9":"category-sightseeing","10":"category-sponsored","11":"tag-beach","12":"tag-kunisaki-peninsula","13":"tag-nature","14":"tag-oita"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Breathtaking Landscapes in Oita, Kyushu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Luxuriant nature and a respectful lifestyle persist inside this extraordinary environment.
