Yufuin Local Night View and Starlight Tour

Since Yufuin is a resort town, most restaurants close early, and with not much to do in the evening besides staying at your accommodation or enjoying the hot springs, I was wondering what to do when I found the night tour and decided to sign up, thinking it sounded great. Before the tour, I read that it is heavily dependent on the weather, so I was quite worried. However, the weather was clear, and when we arrived at the night tour location, although there was a bit of an incline, I was able to see the most stars in my life along with a charming yet vibrant night view, which made me extremely satisfied. Above all, our guide, Takano-san, turned on a stargazing app on his own phone to show me what constellations were visible that night while I was photographing the stars, and he even took family photos for us, making the experience even more rewarding. If I visit again in the future, I would love to come in a different season to experience a whole new feel of the night view.

The starlit sky over Yufuin at nightfall is a perfect work of art in itself. Surrounded by a sky filled with stars that seem to pour down upon you, the purest emotions of childhood seem to return to your heart. Especially when the Milky Way is clearly visible before your eyes, the impact is so powerful that you forget to breathe. This is a precious gift from nature that you can never see in the city. Because of this experience, I will deeply treasure this unforgettable night in Yufuin in my heart. 🌌✨

This was the most memorable part of my Yufuin trip! The stars felt like they were going to pour down from the sky, it was mesmerizing, and the guide's explanations were so fun. Highly recommend. Even looking at the pictures now gives me goosebumps. Best picture of my life!!!

At first, I was a little scared because we were going up such a deep mountain, but the night view from the nameless mountain was amazing. Even though it was winter, I was lucky enough to see a lot of stars. The guide used a constellation app to tell us about them, and they were very proactive in taking pictures, so I was very satisfied with the tour.

It was a short tour, but a perfect stargazing experience. I think I had one of the most moving moments of my life. From now on, when I think of Yufuin, I will immediately think of this stargazing tour.

It didn't rain in the evening. I started waiting at the station at 20:45, and along with 6 other travelers, we waited until 21:20 without seeing the tour guide. I used the contact number provided by Klook and found the tour guide on WhatsApp, who said the activity was canceled due to bad weather! Why didn't you notify us before the waiting time started? In the past, when I participated in local tours, the tour guide would directly contact the travelers. This time, if we didn't contact him... we would have just waited there blankly... completely wasting our precious vacation. I even took photos of the stars in the sky at the station. I don't understand why the tour guide said the weather was bad, it's simply unbelievable. Please follow up and explain this! Experience: Extremely poor Instructor: Tour guide unresponsive Location: Helplessly returning to the hotel in the dark

It was short and sweet. The explanations were detailed and thorough. We drove down an unpaved road for a bit and were surprised to see several wild deer—not water deer, but real deer with huge antlers, haha! The night view? Need I say more? It was simply the best!!! Yufuin is completely different during the day and at night.~~

Without clouds, stargazing is much clearer, and you can even see shooting stars! Actually, local guesthouses and hotels offer this excursion with hotel pickup by the guide. If you use Klook, however, you have to wait at an abandoned station, leaving you totally confused because they don't notify or contact you in advance about whether the tour is actually running.

I thought I wouldn't be able to see many stars because of the clouds, but I could see them so well, which was amazing. The guide was so kind and spoke Korean so well, I thought they were Korean! 🤗 I would have been so disappointed if I hadn't done the Starlight Tour.

The explanation was good, and the photos were helpful.
