Hita ( Japanese 日 田 市 , -shi ) is a city in Ōita prefecture in Japan .

history

Hita is mentioned early in the chronicle of Bungo no Kuni Fudoki .

At the transition to the Middle Ages , the ruler Okura founded the Jonialanyoko shrine , which brought economic growth. In the former main shrine Ono Oimatsu Tenmansha you can still see the wooden structures from the Muromachi period in the 14th century.

The city has long been under the direct rule of the shoguns .

The old Hita received town charter on December 11, 1940.

On March 22, 2005, the old Hita joined the villages of Maetsue ( 前 津 江村 , - mura ), Nakatsue ( 中 津 江村 , -mura ) and Kamitsue ( 上 津 江村 , -mura ), and the towns of Ōyama ( 大 山 町 , - machi ) and Amagase ( 天 瀬 町 , -machi ) to form the new city of Hita.
