Tsukumi City is a seaside town in southeastern Oita Prefecture, surrounded by white limestone mountain ranges and the sea, offering stunning views of the rias coastline designated as the Nippo Coast Quasi-National Park. The property is a 20-minute walk from JR Tsukumi Station, known for the monument to the song "Nagori Yuki." Supermarkets, hospitals, and home improvement stores are available within the city, and the child-rearing environment is well-equipped with zero children on waiting lists for daycare. Oita City is about 40 minutes away by car, and access to Beppu Onsen is also good. For large-scale shopping, trips to Usuki or Oita are typical.
The area is rich in natural beauty and culture. The Yura Peninsula is home to approximately 5,000 Kawazu cherry blossom trees, the largest number in Oita Prefecture, which bloom from early February and reach their peak around mid-February. The blossoms last longer than Somei Yoshino cherries, allowing for about a month of cherry blossom viewing. The stunning contrast of the clear blue Bungo Channel and pink cherry blossoms is a spring tradition celebrated with the "Bungo Channel Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival." The "Umitama Taiken Park Tsukumi Iruka Island" is an experiential facility themed around interaction with dolphins, offering powerful performances, feeding, and even swimming with them. Fishing is also popular, with various species like horse mackerel, black sea bream, and bigfin reef squid available at local ports, with fishing spots suitable for beginners and families. The terraced mandarin orange fields overlooking the deep blue sea turn a bright orange in autumn, creating a beautiful contrast. Mandarin orange cultivation in Tsukumi is said to have started in the Tenpyo era, and during the flowering season in May, the entire city is enveloped in a faintly sweet and sour fragrance. Additionally, the island of Hegushima, a 25-minute ferry ride from Tsukumi Port, offers a relaxing island getaway in the Bungo Channel.
