Hi everyone! I have tried to do some research on Oita City but have come up short.
Background: I currently live in Fukuoka City, and will be moving soon to Oita City, in the city center.
I've never traveled abroad except to come to Fukuoka and I've traveled very little in Japan due to being a student, so I am not too sure what to expect. I traveled to Beppu last year around Christmas for a quick overnight trip to go to an onsen with friends and went into the city a bit before leaving and walked around. I'm aware I can commute to Beppu from the city, but would like to know more about Oita.
I do cook most of my own meals but are there any restaurant recommendations? I do enjoy to have a drink on weekends and have a few bars I frequent here, is there an area for bars and such? Shopping areas?
I also have two cats I'll be moving with so shops where they sell pet food would also be helpful.
A positive of this is my rent in Oita is drastically lower than here in Fukuoka, so I have a win. 🙂
I am just getting a little nervous with how little comes up online from people living/moving there that's not from years ago, haha. Also, I don't mind it being quieter than Fukuoka, other than my weekend bar trips, I'm usually inside. 😅
Any advice, recommendations, or anything else you'd like to add are helpful. Oh, and I am also having a tough time with what's reasonable as far as cost to be moving from here to there. 🥲
If you have experience in that area or any recommended moving companies, please share. 🙂 Thanks so much!
