Review for: Beppu & Yufuin no Mori Train Journey (including Beppu Hells Ticket + train ticket)

This was my first solo trip to Fukuoka, and the weather was incredibly hot. Luckily, I chose to join a local tour, which was an excellent decision. ❤️❤️ I've participated in various local tours in Japan and Korea before, but this time, our guide, Lily (Cheng Li), was the most professional and best guide I've ever encountered. Her voice was gentle and pleasant to listen to, and she spoke clearly and concisely. She was extremely knowledgeable about all the attractions and shopping itineraries in Fukuoka. She even sent us recommendations for souvenirs and restaurants. ❤️ Throughout the entire trip, she was very caring and friendly to every tour member! ❤️ She made my whole trip feel very comfortable! I hope to join a tour led by her again when I visit next time. 🥰

Review for: Beppu & Yufuin no Mori Train Journey (including Beppu Hells Ticket + train ticket)

Late review for a tour taken on 19 April 2026. The weather was rainy, but the trip was still enjoyable overall. This package offers a longer stay in Yufuin and includes a train experience—great if you appreciate classic locomotives. The visit to the two Beppu Hells felt a bit rushed, with just enough time for a quick footbath and a short walk around before heading off to Dazaifu. At Dazaifu, the temple stop was brief before moving on to explore the walking street. Special mention to our guide, Ada-san, professional, attentive, and very observant. She even recognized me the next day when I joined another tour group!

This Yufuin day trip was absolutely wonderful and very well organized. Everything was perfectly punctual, and the itinerary was arranged in such a way that we had enough time at each spot to explore comfortably without feeling rushed. A special mention to Mr. Alex — he was very friendly and explained everything in a very detailed and clear manner, which made the experience even better. Overall, a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Thanks to Guide Ohashi's kindness, calm demeanor, and comfortable pace, we thoroughly enjoyed our day tour! Although Japanese (our customers were Korean and Chinese), his excellent language skills meant there were no communication issues, allowing us to have an even more fulfilling time. I highly recommend him to others!
