Insider tip — 'Konjiki' (golden) Onsen at Hachimenzan ('eight-face mountain') in Nakatsu, Oita — the city famed for its karaage fried chicken (rivalling Nagoya for the title of Japan's karaage capital). The golden-coloured name may reference the mineral tint of the spring water or the autumn leaves on the eight-faced mountain.
