The Oita Prefectural Museum of History (Ōita Kenritsu Rekishi Hakubutsukan) is an excellent museum to learn Oita's history, culture and key attractions. It is located in Usa City at the base of the Kunisaki Peninsula, just a few kilometers away from the Usa Shrine.
At the center of the museum stands a must-see life-size reconstruction of Fukiji Temple's main hall. In stark contrast to the actual hall whose interior and object of worship have faded in color over the centuries, the reconstruction show the splendor of how the hall's interior looked like when it was first constructed more than 800 years ago. The museum also showcases replicas of the Usuki Stone Buddhas and the Kumano Magaibutsu Stone Buddhas.
Facility Information:
Hours: 9:00 to 17:00 (last entry at 16:30)
Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a national holiday), December 28 to January 4
Admission: 310 yen
Level of English: Moderate (good English pamphlet)

A taxi ride takes about 20 minutes and 2000 yen from Usa Station or about 10 minutes and 1500 yen from Yanagigaura Station. Usa Shrine is located about five kilometers south of the museum. A taxi ride between the two attractions costs around 1300 yen.

The main attraction is the Nioza Historical Road, a 200 meter photogenic narrow alleyway which runs along temples and residences built in Edo Period style architecture, making a feeling of the past. Parallel to it runs the Haccho Oji Shopping Street, a merchant street with a neighborhood atmosphere, lined by shops selling local specialties, groceries and etc. Walking westwards for about five minutes brings you to Ryugenji, with nice three-storied pagoda.
The Ruins of Usuki Castle
It is located on the eastern side of the district. Currently a neighborhood park is located on the former castle grounds. Unfortunately, most of the castle buildings including the main keep have been destroyed over the years, and today the only prominent structures remaining are a turret and a gate standing along the park's entrance.

Japan Travel: Matsumae Castle Matsumaehan Yashiki History museum Hokkaido57
Matsumae (松前) is a former castle town just west of Cape Shirakami（白神岬）,which is the southernmost point of Hokkaido. There is only 20 kilometers across the Tsugaru Strait from Aomori. Matsumae was the northern limit of Japan during the Edo Period and the sole feudal fief on the otherwise wild, untamed frontier of Hokkaido. The thriving, 30,000 person town attracted merchants engaged in the shipping trade, and was protected by a garrison at Matsumae Castle, which was the only Japanese style castle to have been built on Hokkaido.
Built on a hillside advantage point, Matsumae Castle cemented a foothold on Hokkaido from where to use the island's abundant natural resources. Toward the end of the Edo Period, the castle was equipped with cannon to counter the threat of foreign ships. As with many Japanese castles, Matsumae Castle's original keep was destroyed some times over the centuries. The current three story high structure is a modern concrete reconstruction from the early 1960s which houses a local history museum displaying a collection of artifacts of the local Matsumae clan, including some items related to the Ainu people.

A pair of stone sculpted Nio guardians or Kongōrikishi stand in front of the temple. There are also a few other stone sculptures on the temple's grounds, which includes one of the Buddhist priest that according to legend created the stone Buddhas.
Yamako Usuki Art Museum
It is a small, two-storied museum , exhibiting relics belonging to the local feudal lord of the Edo Period (1603-1867).

Autumn Walk to Hakubakei (Usuki, Oita Prefecture, Japan)
A friend suggested we go to Hakubakei in Usuki which is a little lake that is great for seeing the autumn foliage. While I think we missed the pick of the leaf viewing, it was still really pretty and the fact that we went on a rainy day made it even more.
Leaf viewing seems to be a legit thing in Japan. That's pretty interesting to me since in Canada, yea the autumn leaves are pretty, but it's not like we would ever go out just to see some leaves.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed seeing this little autumn walk.
Much love and happy travels
