Hita
Hita is a city on Japan's Kyushu Island. Traditional inns with hot springs sit beside the Mikuma River. Boats cruise the river, where fishermen use trained cormorants to catch fish. There are Edo-era buildings in the Mamedamachi district and at the Kangien Academy Ruins. Southeast of the city, a short trail leads to the Sakuradaki Waterfall. Farther south, the underground tunnel of the Taio Gold Mine is now a museum.
