Energetic types may also enjoy mountain biking, hiking and horse riding in this part of Japan.

During your time in Kyushu and Okinawa you can make a visit to the Marine Palace Aquarium and stay the night in Oita, which is 40 kilometres to the east of the heart of Yutsubo. The Best Western Hotel Fino Oita and Hotel Route-Inn Oita Ekimae are among the choices.
