The Association for Promotion of Yama Navi/Broad Area Project has been in charge of maintaining the “Yama Navi” system, which provides tourist information regarding the broad area of Kokonoe Town and Taketa City in Oita Prefecture. This project is part of the “Machi Meguri Navi Project (Machi Navi),” which aims to assist the mobility of tourists using an advanced information system. The Machi Navi has been carried out by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport that invited applications to participate in the project from municipalities, aiming to provide a progressive example.
The name “Yama Navi” is an abbreviation of “Yamanami Highway Navigation,” meaning that this website will guide you along the Yamanami Highway. The Yamanami Highway is a driving route known as one of the most beautiful sceneries in Kyushu area.
Yama Navi offers information to tourists via Internet or mobile phone by combining information on accommodations, tourist attractions, events, and map and suggesting recommended routes for side trips.
This tourist information website aims to help promote “relaxing tourism with unplanned side trips” and “long-stay tourism” by informing tourists of attractive tourist spots along the Yamanami Highway from Beppu to Aso. We hope that users will come to feel like stopping over or staying at the place recommended by this site.
