[Kunisaki Peninsula] [Recommended Inn] If you want to try pufferfish in Oita, this is the place🐡✨

Oita Prefecture's Kunisaki Peninsula is home to the "Rokugo Manzan" culture, where Shinto-Buddhist syncretism thrives.
It's a fantastic travel destination, offering delicious seafood and mountain delicacies while gazing at the beautiful ocean and the satoyama (satoyama) designated as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. 🚗

We recommend Ryokan Umenoya as your base of operations.
Located in the remote Bungotakada region, this Michelin-starred inn is a must-try. ⭐️
Their specialty is tiger pufferfish. 🐡

Oita pufferfish boasts a firm texture, thanks to the rough waves of the Bungo Channel.
Due to its exceptional freshness, it's served thickly sliced, enhancing its delicious flavor.

Starting with a giant sashimi, followed by shirako chawanmushi, fried chicken, hot pot, rice porridge, and finishing with exquisite soba noodles ❤️
I was so moved that my cheeks started clapping automatically 👏
I go back every year just to see this pufferfish ♪

They're child-friendly, and even connected two rooms to create a nearly 20-tatami Japanese-style room, which is a great touch ✨
The toilet and bath are shared, but yukata, towels, and toothbrushes are provided for your comfort.

There's no refrigerator, so bring a cooler with you! 💡

Nearby, try "Ibiya Onsen," just a 10-minute drive away ♨️
You can enjoy the sulfate springs, so combining food and hot springs is the golden route to maximize your satisfaction!
This time, the summer heat was still lingering, so we took a bath at the inn, but Hitani Onsen is a very warming hot spring, so it's especially recommended from autumn to winter.♪

The price is 16,500 yen (excluding tax) for one night and two meals.
A day trip full course of tiger pufferfish is great value at 9,000 yen.👌
A child's futon is 3,000 yen, and high chairs are provided, making it a great choice for families.

Access is about 45 minutes by rental car from Oita Airport.🚗
A drive along the coast is also a highlight of the trip.🌅

When enjoying the Kunisaki Peninsula, the perfect stay is "Umenoya's tiger pufferfish + hot spring combo!" ✨
