	Oita Prefecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oita Prefecture is located on the north-eastern coast of the island of Kyushu.
		Surrounded by the Suo Channel and Honshu Island to the north, the Iyo Channel and Shikoku Island to the east, it is bordered by Miyazaki Prefecture to the south, and Fukuoka Prefecture and Kumamoto Prefecture to the west.
		Oita Prefecture is famous for its hot springs, particularly those in and around the city of Beppu, known as the 'hells', or jigoku.

	Hot Springs
		Oita residents have been close to hot springs from time immemorial, a fact made clear by a historical account of hot and mineral springs in the "Bungo Fudoki (Oita Regional Topography)" that was edited during the Nara Era.
		In Oita, the magma sources are the new volcanoes of Tsurumi, Yufu and Kuju ranging from east to west at the center of the prefecture.
		That is to say, Oita's hot springs not only boast of a large number of spring sources and high output of springs, but also of a quantity of high temperature springs and a variety of water quality.

	1995 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Government Service - Morihiko Hiramatsu
		Oita Prefecture was ranked twelfth in the country and number one in Kyushu on this indicator by the Economic Planning Agency of Japan.
		Oita Prefecture remained relatively poor until the late twentieth century, relying mostly on agriculture (rice, oranges, and vegetables), forestry, cattle breeding, and a bit of tourism as well as fishing along its 746 kilometers of coastline on the Inland Sea.
		Overall, Oita is in eleventh place for "gross national satisfaction." Per capita income grew from 1.6 million yen to 2 million yen in the prefecture over a ten-year period; in 1995, it jumped to 2.52 million yen or U.S.$22,700 (at the exchange rate of 111 yen to U.S.$1.00).
