What City-costers Most Associate with Oita Prefecture

November 14th annually is Oita Prefecture Day. Last year on the anniversary I asked members of the City-cost community what they most associated with Oita Prefecture. The most common answer was no surprise at all; "Hot Springs." It is always the first thing that comes to mind for me too when I hear "Oita". 

I learned some new things about Oita Prefecture in the answers too. I had never heard of "Kabosu," a Japanese citrus fruit, until one member shared that it is one of the foods she associates with the prefecture. Another member mentioned that they had tried "Toriten," a regional specialty, on a visit to the prefecture.  

I didn't just learn about food, but locations also. One member mentioned the Attack on Titan Museum. I didn't even know there was an Attack on Titan Museum in Japan, least of all that it is in Oita Prefecture. I love that I can learn so much about Japan through the community on City-cost.
