Just outside the crowds of Kyoto city is a world of serene nature, vibrant culture, and deep history that you probably have never heard of before. Oita Prefecture, known mainly for its abundant onsen hot springs, is another area like Kyoto, rich in nature and history. We have carefully selected less crowded destinations in both of these fascinating areas of Japan and will cover them in a series of nine articles: “Travel like a Kyoto and Oita native to experience nature and traditional culture.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Heading north from Kyoto city, a serene landscape of small villages and peaceful mountains stand between the ancient capital and the rugged coastline along the Sea of Japan.
