Hi, I’m Tabi!

Bungotakada in Oita offers retro shopping streets and temple heritage. Check onward connections from Usa Station and your return. Prepare separate transport to Fuki-ji outside the town center.

This guide covers places within Bungotakada, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
