Why not kick the month off with a weekend getaway to Oita Prefecture? This month we make a start on exploring Oita for a series of new reports. We\u2019ll visit other places in different areas in the upcoming months, so stay tuned!

April&#8217;s gourmet review of Isoragi won&#8217;t disappoint seafood-lovers, and is definitely worth checking out if you&#8217;re in Hakata.
