【★036★Oita Usuki Samurai District】
Subscribe link ：
Usuki's samurai district is located at its city center, and parts of it keep the flavor of an old castle town with their stone paved alleys lined by premodern looking houses.
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.

Usuki Stone Buddhas, Oita - 臼杵石仏●大分 - Japan As It Truly Is
The Usuki Stone Buddhas are a mysterious collection of carved stone Buddhas made in the 12th century. Nobody knows why.
The centuries have taken their toll on some of the figures, and some protective measures have been made to preserve them for the future. But you can still see some astonishing artwork and detail in some of them, and if you plan to be in the area, are certainly worth a look.
Is anything you do going to be admired 9 centuries from now?
The Usuki Stone Buddhas (臼杵磨崖仏, or 臼杵石仏) are a rare gem off the beaten path in rural Oita, so go discover them before the tourist crowds do.

Ce qui fut autrefois une petite île ainsi que le plus beau château de la ville d’Usuki, les ruines du château d’Usuki sont désormais un beau parc reposant qui domine la ville. Seulement les portes, les tourelles, et un petit temple sont ce qu’il reste de la structure de base.
