この 要 覧 を 通 して、 本 市 の 現 状 と 将 来 像 をご 理 解 いただき、さらなる 市 勢
geographically blessed with rich green mountains, blue seas and rivers. Since
ancient times, it has played a significant role as a place of strategic importance to
east Kyushu.
With the designation as a new industrial city in 1964, the transition of the core of
the city in 1997 and through the merging of Saganoseki and Notsuharu in 2005, it
has solidified its foothold as the prefectural capital that is full of various charm and
vitality.
In 2015, the face of Oita, the Oita station Funai Chuo Gate Plaza and “JR Oita City”
opened. Also opened were the Oita Prefectural Art Museum and the Higashi
Kyushu motorway between Oita and Miyazaki. The appearance of a new Oita is
steadily emerging.
However, with the decrease in birthrate, the aging population and decline in
population, a decline in local vitality is of concern. For community building, the
local government is seeking the creation of a sustainable and autonomous society
using the characteristics of the region.
Under these circumstances the citizens, who play the leading role in the city
administration, must aim to become a truly abundant city. The five themes are, “The
Oita city that is kind to all citizens”, “A city full of vitality and prosperous creations”,
“Administrational services that work for the citizens”, “Promoting projects that will
give dreams, hope and pride for the future” and “Using the opportunity of the Tokyo
Olympics to promote the area”. We will work actively to make this a reality.
Through this summery, we hope there is a greater understanding of the status and
vision of our city, and we hope for your help to create a further extended municipal

Oita Peace City Declaration
Permanent world peace is a common hope for all of humanity.
However in recent years, the expansion of nuclear weapons
continues still, gravely threatening world peace and humanity.
Our country was the first country affected by the nuclear bomb.
We must keep telling the rest of the world about the terror of
nuclear weapons and the need for abolishing them, in order to
prevent a repeat of the disasters of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On
the foundation of the ideology of permanent peace stated by
the Constitution of Japan, we the citizens of Oita city will obey
the Three Non-Nuclear Principles and pledge to do our utmost
for the peace and safety of Oita citizens, hereby declaring this a
“Peace City”.
