Oita is made up of 18 municipalities (14 cities, 3 towns, 1 village). Before the great merger of municipalities in the Heisei period, there were 58 municipalities (11 cities, 36 towns, and 11 villages). The total population is approximately 1,140,000 (July 1, 2019), and the municipality with the highest population is Oita City, where the Prefectural Office is based. The total area is approximately 6,341 k㎡, and Saiki City has the largest area both in the prefecture and in Kyushu. Source: Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, Prefectural Statistics Division 1 OITA 2019 （３）Changes in Population Oita Prefecture's population has continued to fall since it peaked at 1,277,000 people in 1955. By 1970 the population had fallen to 1,155,000 people, but there was a trend of population growth later, and in 1985 the population was 1,250,000. However, from 1985 onwards, there has been a continued trend of population decrease in Oita due to factors such as the concentration of people in the Tokyo area and a declining population. In the 2015 fiscal year, there were 1,166,000 people in Oita. This is the biggest rate of population decline in the prefecture since 1970.

    ORIX Real Estate to Begin Construction of Second New Building at Beppu SUGINOI HOTEL Under Large‐scale Renovation Project ‐ Large‐scale Guest Room Building with 14 Floors Above Ground and 336 Rooms ‐ TOKYO, Japan ‐ November 12, 2020 ‐ ORIX Real Estate Corporation (“ORIX Real Estate”) announced that it will start construction of a second new guest room building (“ the new building”) at Beppu SUGINOI HOTEL, a hotel operated by ORIX Real Estate, as part of the large‐scale renovation project*1 slated for overall completion in 2025. Concept image of completed building The new building is located at the northwesternmost part of the hotel’s premises. The building will have one floor below ground and 14 floors above ground. It will have a total of 336 guest rooms, with various types of rooms from approximately 27 square meters to 93 square meters in area, including Western‐style and Japanese‐ Western‐style rooms. The exterior will be installed with louvers giving an impression of wind trailing from the mountains of Beppu to Beppu Bay and adopt a design centered on earth colors that make people think of bountiful nature such as the land and trees. The plan is to create a design using an abundance of plants that blends in with the mountains in the background taking advantage of the building’s location at the highest elevation within the premises. A restaurant and an open‐air bath will be available as shared facilities to offer a high‐quality resort experience. The large‐scale renovation project is slated for overall completion in 2025, with plans for the construction of two new buildings—including this new guest room building—as well as the reconstruction of the existing guest room building “Hana‐kan.” Following the new guest room building*2 that started to be construction in November 2019 and expected to open for operations in the summer of 2021, this new building aims to be the second building to be opened.
