Beppu

The different colored hot springs provided a very wonderful experience. I observed the bubbling hot gray mud, a red lake, and beautiful blue hot springs. It was a dazzling sight to see many different colored hot springs. It can be a bit crowded, but I bought a few souvenirs, especially the Umi Jigoku face mask, and local Oita delicious pudding and sweets.

I would like to commend our tour guide Helen. He speaks English fluently and patiently answering all questions. She has a lot of knowledge about the tourist spots and willing to take a photo for you. That’s a plus especially for solo travel. Thank you so much, Helen!!! Sayonara…..

Had a wonderful tour with Kelvin as the guide. As our group consisted of both English and Mandarin speakers, Kelvin had to explain the itinerary and information in both languages. Despite that, he managed it very smoothly and even joked about it, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The time given at each place of interest was sufficient, allowing us to explore comfortably even though the attractions were quite crowded with tourists. Overall, it was a very pleasant and well-organized tour.

Today's tour was really fun. I was worried because the weather was cloudy in the morning, but it gradually cleared up, so I took a lot of great pictures. First, I went to the Umi Jigoku (sea hell), then the safari, and finally to Kawakami in Yufuin-cho. Kodama Rikuto's explanation was perfect, and the English explanation was easy to understand. He explained Umi Jigoku in detail, and at the safari, I was even able to see the cheetah, which is usually inside its enclosure. I was also very grateful that he sent Korean explanations of the origin and disasters of Kawakami in Yufuin-cho separately via KakaoTalk to the Koreans. He was a really great guide. Thank you. Thank you for sending me the restaurant you know via KakaoTalk at the end. I won't spread the word. 😆😆😆😆

I had an amazing day joining the tour to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, Yufuin Floral Village, Beppu Ropeway, and Kamado Jigoku departing from Fukuoka. Our first stop was Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, which was beautiful and peaceful. The traditional architecture, bridges, and surrounding nature made it a perfect place to start the trip. It’s also a great spot to experience Japanese culture and take lovely photos. Next, we visited Yufuin Floral Village, which felt like stepping into a fairytale. The small shops, themed buildings, and mountain views were charming. There were lots of cute souvenir stores and snacks to try, making the visit fun and relaxing. One of the highlights was riding the Beppu Ropeway. The view from the cable car was absolutely breathtaking, especially overlooking the mountains and the city of Beppu. It’s a must-try experience if you want to see the beautiful scenery of the area. Finally, we stopped at Kamado Jigoku, one of Beppu’s famous hot spring “hells.”

Yang explained the places in detail and always made sure we're complete. she was friendly and helped us when we needed assistance such as in taking pictures. The places we visited were all cool, great selection.

It was a beautiful experience seeing the different bubbling pools in this tourist attraction. I was particularly impressed by the steam experience and the drinking of the spring water. Thank you.

We didnt expect to be in such a big group (47pp) but the daytrip was smooth. Thomas did a great job leading us and giving lots of stories and information about the visited areas. He was very nice and even helped us booking a restaurant for the night after the tour. Thanks !

I had an amazing experience at Yufuin! I wish I had more time to walk around at the onsen, but I still managed to take some great photos. The mountain scenery was breathtaking, and the village itself was visually stunning. The highlight of my trip was the train ride back to Hakata station. If you’re in the Kyushu area, especially Fukuoka, I highly recommend visiting Yufuin.
