Oita & Sagaseki: Sekiaji, Sekisaba, and Dango Soup - A Culinary Journey through Bungo
A full-day gourmet course chasing the flavors of Bungo from central Oita City to the tip of the Sagaseki Peninsula. Start your morning at Oita Castle Ruins Park (大分城址公園) circling the moats of the former castle, then view the retro architecture of the Oita Bank Red Brick Hall (大分銀行赤レンガ館) designed by Tatano Kingo. For lunch, visit the renowned Kotsu-Kotsu An (こつこつ庵) to enjoy dango soup with chewy flat noodles swimming in savory miso broth, Oita's famous tori-ten fried chicken, and ryukyu—fresh fish dressed in a sweet-savory sauce—all the iconic flavors of the Bungo table at once. In the afternoon, drive along the coast to Sagaseki (佐賀関), the homeland of sekiaji and sekisaba. Pick up seafood souvenirs at Michi-no-Eki Sagaseki (道の駅さがのせき), then finish at Sekisaki Kaisei Hall (関崎海星館) observation deck for a panoramic view of the Toyoyohaikyaku Strait. Castle town history, peninsula seascapes, and local flavors—a journey to savor all of Oita's delicious treasures.
