Ôita, Ôita-ken
| About the prefecture:
Oita Prefecture is situated at the eastern end of the island of Kyushu, the southernmost of the ten communities. With the start of international air service at its airport, the prefecture is quickly developing into a gateway for regional and worldwide exchanges, in particular with the Asian mainland. The goal of the region is to become a high-tech industrial centre whilst maintaining its traditional local culture. As an area rich in tourist resources, the Oita region is notable for Japan's largest hot springs: Beppu and Yufuin. The many cultural treasures the city showcases attract millions of visitors every year. Football is extremely popular in Oita Prefecture. Many local youth teams have consistently ranked high in national competitions. Efforts are being made to create a local team that would participate in the now world-renowned J. League. Part of Oita Prefecture's promotional efforts include inviting J. League teams to play selected J. League matches and to conduct training camps in the region. |
