Beppu ট্যুর

I ended up traveling alone and wasn't sure what to do, but luckily there was a tour available, so I joined it! I was feeling lost on my own, but Guide Joo Young-chan was incredibly kind and explained everything to me, including good places to visit and precise timing. Thanks to him, I was able to create wonderful memories. And thanks to U Tour and Guide Joo Young-chan, I even got free snap photos through the Chiiz app, which was fantastic! I'm truly grateful, and I felt this was an essential tour that I would definitely book again if I ever return to Fukuoka! I highly recommend it for families, couples, and solo travelers alike!!!

Our tour guide, Daisy, provided thorough explanations in Chinese throughout the trip and was very attentive to the elderly members of our group. She even created her own recommended Google lists for different areas and enthusiastically helped us call to reserve delicious kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) at the restaurant in front of Yufuin Station. We got to try all three flavors: beef, chicken, and eel—it was truly amazing! At Tenmangu Shrine, she professionally advised us on which shops to visit first (as they were closing soon) and shared tips on how to pray and make wishes. On the way back, she recommended great places to eat and fun things to do in Fukuoka. Tour A offered a rich and interesting itinerary, allowing those who love shopping and good food to enjoy a fulfilling day. However, the schedule was tight and felt a bit rushed, and the travel time between destinations meant we couldn't fully enjoy shopping (how much do I love shopping, anyway?). Next time, I'd like to visit Yufuin on my own (I bought so many Miffy items!).

The best part of this trip, besides the diverse itinerary, was probably the photos taken by our guides. Free photo shoots? That's something other travel agencies don't offer! And they used a Leica camera! The unique, emotional feel of the photos perfectly matched Japan. Honestly, I didn't realize it much when they were taking the pictures during the trip, but after receiving the edited photos, I thought back to that time and realized that photos are truly what remain. Our guide was also incredibly kind and felt like a close friend who took care of us without any burden, from before the trip until the very end! Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the trip comfortably with my parents. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a Yufuin tour with their parents! Due to circumstances, I couldn't experience the onsen, but if you go to Yufuin, I really hope you'll try the hot springs. The foot bath at Beppu Kamado Jigoku was so wonderful that it made me understand why people love onsens. If I have another chance to go, I'd love to travel with 'Travel Han Geureut' again. Guide Lim Jeong-won, you worked so hard! I hope to see you again next time.

I recently took the Dazaifu + Yufuin + Beppu day tour. Overall, the itinerary was well-planned, and the attractions were definitely worth visiting. However, it rained all day, which certainly impacted the experience and my mood. The planned cable car ride was canceled due to a typhoon and replaced with a visit to Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell), which was a bit disappointing. Still, the attraction itself was unique, though it would have been more complete if we could have stuck to the original plan. Yufuin itself is beautiful, but with the constant rain that day, walking around the town was a bit inconvenient, and I couldn't browse or take photos at my leisure, which slightly diminished the overall experience. Despite the weather and itinerary changes, the tour guide was excellent 👍 and very responsible throughout. I left the group in Yufuin to stay two nights there and one night in Kurokawa, enjoying the open-air hot springs (rotenburo). When I left the group, the guide even helped me call a taxi 🚕 so I could get to my hotel smoothly, which was truly thoughtful.

The trip was so good. We went to the zoo in the morning and then to umi jigoku, seeing mount yufu on the way to yufuin. Our guide Nicole Yang was very good in explaining and very helpful. She help me taking pictures since I am a solo traveler.

We had a lovely time during the entire tour. We had enough time at every stop for us to enjoy. The itinerary was well organized. We were never rushed. We had Matthew with us as our tour guide and he was really great in giving us informations regarding the scenic areas that we went to. We really appreciated his calm demeanor throughout the trip and his food recommendations. He sent us links and locations for us to easier navigate them. He was responsive to all our inquiries and always emphasized safety and to contact him should we have any concerns. All in all we had a wonderful experience.

The tour guide was exceptionally professional and friendly. Highly recommended day trip!!! Started the morning with peaceful vibes at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine – the plum blossoms and autumn leaves were stunning, and you can feel the history in every step. Then we headed to Yufuin Town – think Studio Ghibli meets hot spring paradise. After lunch, soaked in the views of Mt. Yufu and explored the cute cafés and craft shops. Next up, Beppu Ropeway for jaw-dropping views of the city and the bay from above. The cable car ride alone is worth it! Additional 1700 yen. Last but definitely not least – Kamado Jigoku (one of Beppu’s famous “Hells”). Not only did we see bubbling geothermal ponds and steam vents, but we also got a complimentary onsen egg (so creamy!) and a refreshing lemon soda to wash it down. A perfect mix of culture, nature, incredible food, and quirky onsen fun. Highly recommend this route for anyone visiting Fukuoka/Oita!

Tour guide Ishibashi's introduction was very good. It's amazing how one person can hold the attention of an entire tour bus full of passengers. The whole group was also very punctual, and the itinerary didn't have any major delays. You just can't see enough of the fairytale town of Yufuin and Kinrin Lake, plus it's super crowded, so you're practically always in line... This time it felt a bit like just hitting the highlights, I'll plan another trip to explore it properly next time. The Kamado Jigoku (Oven Hell) in Beppu is very touristy, with its seven-colored hot spring ponds. It's basically eat a hot spring egg, line up to use the restroom, and leave. They sell hot spring bath salts and face masks, and the postcards are very unique. By the time we arrived at Dazaifu it was already three or four o'clock, and the sky was quite dark, so the photos all felt hazy. The tour guide suggested we go left after entering, and there are two statues of sacred oxen inside, so you don't need to line up at the entrance! The ume ga mochi (plum branch rice cake - mochi shell with red bean filling) is very sweet, and there are several shops outside, just pick your favorite ~ Overall, the day trip was pretty good, although inevitably a quick tour. But if you don't have much time and want to see a lot of sights, it's highly recommended.

Even though it was raining, the overall itinerary was very well managed. We had a mini-bus with two guides: Zhu Zhu, who handled Chinese and Korean, and another male guide who provided explanations and commentary in fluent English. This was my first time on a one-day tour, and I was surprised that the guides even walked with us. Zhu Zhu is an excellent guide; she provided detailed information about restrooms and lunch options and consistently ensured the group stayed together and that everyone was accounted for. The entire trip was very enriching. Although the schedule was a bit tight, there was still enough time even for those who love taking photos. We even received small gifts at the end! Since I was staying in Takachiho, I opted out of the return trip, and Zhu Zhu was very enthusiastic in discussing my drop-off location. I'm so glad I joined this one-day tour, and I highly recommend it!
