What to expect
Literary Healing Railway Hot Spring Cultural Tour Core Highlight: Line A offers the best value-for-money Yufuin no Mori experience on the entire network. • Yufuin Town (150 minutes): Ample time for exploration. Freely stroll along Yunotsubo Street, visit the inspiration source for Studio Ghibli, browse handicraft shops, taste B-speak Swiss rolls and milk desserts; encounter Lake Kinrin shrouded in morning mist. • Yufuin no Mori Train (Yufuin Station to Oita Station): Kyushu’s top sightseeing train, with a dark green retro body + warm all-wood interior. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows frame the forests, valleys, and pastoral scenery along the way, as if traveling through the Wizard of Oz. It’s a must-experience moving landscape for railway enthusiasts and photography lovers. • Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) (30 minutes): The first of Beppu’s eight Hells. The iron sulfate spring creates a Tiffany blue clear pool, with 98℃ high-temperature steam rising like a fairyland on the sea. You can taste hot spring steamed eggs and experience the unique charm of geothermal wonders. • Dazaifu (60 minutes): The head shrine of Japan’s god of learning. Pray for academic success, taste Umegae Mochi, and immerse yourself in the beauty of traditional Japanese culture and ancient architecture.
Nature, Wilderness, Hot Spring, Mountain Climbing, and Prayer Tour Core Highlight: Visit Beppu’s Six Sceneries – Nyoirin-ji Temple + Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) + Kamado Jigoku (Oven Hell) + Mount Yufu Trailhead + Yufuin Town + Lake Kinrin. • Mount Yufu Trailhead: Unlock “Bungo Fuji” Mount Yufu. The conical volcanic outline at an altitude of 1584 meters is stunning. The trailhead path is gentle, making it easy for beginners to hike lightly, breathe fresh mountain air, gaze at the Kuju mountain range and Beppu Bay scenery, and embrace the natural wilderness. • Kamado Jigoku (Oven Hell): Beppu Hell’s “miniature museum,” gathering 6 unique hot spring pools in one garden, with water changing colors with light and shadow. • Nyoirin-ji Temple: A thousand-year-old ancient temple hidden in the mountains, filled with over 5,000 frog statues of various expressions, symbolizing “safe return.”
