Oita History/Culture

In the early part of the Middle Ages a sophisticated culture of Buddhism bloomed, and by the end of that period, Usuki had become a window of introduction to Western culture.
You can see the remnants of the castle town and the National Treasure Usuki Stone Buddhas, so why not enjoy pleasant winds while cycling and learning about the culture and history of Usuki?
