Insider tip — Maneki no Yu, the beckoning welcome spring, takes its name from the maneki-neko lucky cat that invites fortune and prosperity in Japanese commercial culture. The Mori district of Ōita City draws from the vast volcanic aquifer that connects the suburban thermal springs of the prefecture capital to the famous jigoku boiling pools of Beppu just across the bay, all part of the same extraordinary Beppu-Shimabara graben geothermal system.
