Bought the 3-Day North Kyushu Rail Pass. It's for 3 consecutive days so plan your itinerary well. Leave early to maximize its use. On our first day we went to Kumamoto Castle, second day in Yufuin, and last day in Huis Ten Bosch. We could have explored more during those days if we travelled early. 😁
A lot of savings buying this railpass.

Fantastic experience. The private room for six was beautiful. The scenery was lovely. The food quality was high. There was a jam-making workshop to learn about local culture. Thumbs up! Seating reservation process: Good. Price: Reasonable. Redemption instructions: Clear.

Highly recommended! A wonderful introduction to Kyushu’s beauty, nature, history, culture, and scenery all in one trip. Thanks to Kevin, it was smooth, informative, and really enjoyable. If you’re in Fukuoka and want to see the best of Kyushu without planning it all yourself, this tour is a winner! ✅
Kevin was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, organized, and very knowledgeable, he explained history, culture, and little travel tips that made the day smoother. Speaking English, Chinese and Nihongo. He kept everyone on time without rushing, checked that we were comfortable, and was happy to answer every question. Truly made the trip more enjoyable! Thank you Kevin.

This was a tour I took with my parents. I was worried the schedule might be a bit too tight, but we were able to take our time exploring at a relaxed pace, and my parents had no trouble at all. In particular, our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, was truly exceptionally kind and gave fantastic explanations, making the tour even more satisfying. Our driver was also skilled, so we were able to travel without any motion sickness. Thanks to everyone, we were able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

This day trip was really fun, and the entire itinerary was very well arranged! 😊
The first stop was Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell). The scenery was truly stunning, and seeing it in person was even more breathtaking than in the photos. Everywhere was great for taking pictures, and I easily got so many gorgeous shots!
The second stop was the zoo, which turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise! Besides lions, tigers, giraffes, and camels, there were quite a few animals that are usually rarely seen. Some of them were even new to me, which felt very fresh and exciting. The animals were also very cute, and I had a great time watching them!
Finally, we went to Yufuin. It is a really lively place with many unique little shops and all kinds of snacks. You can walk and eat along the way while slowly soaking in the atmosphere of a small Japanese town—so much fun!
Additionally, I really have to give a special shout-out to our tour guide, Jimmy Ryu-san! He was enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive. He explained the whole itinerary very clearly, reminding us in advance about meeting times, boarding locations, and where the restrooms were, which gave us great peace of mind. Along the way, he also shared interesting stories about life in Japan, making it feel like chatting with a friend so we were never bored!
All in all, this was truly a very pleasant trip with great sights, excellent arrangements, and a very dedicated tour guide. If I have the chance again next time, I will definitely join! Highly recommended with five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Lisa! She brought us to Dazaifu Shrine, Beppu Hell Hot Springs and Yufuin Village, making the entire journey enjoyable and memorable.
Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. She shared interesting insights about each destination and made sure we had a wonderful experience throughout the trip. What impressed us even more was how she went the extra mile by recommending other places to visit and restaurants to try during our remaining days in Fukuoka.
Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a thoughtful tour guide in Fukuoka. Thank you, Lisa, for making our trip so memorable!

The pacing of this tour is just right for me. Ample time per destination. I was initially worried we would be rushed at Yufuin Village but for me I was able to really roam around. Our tourguide is Nicole Yang and she was fluent in both English & Mandarin. Easy to understand and very helpful + friendly.

What to know before visiting Beppu
What to do in Beppu year-round
Beppu is best known for its variety of Tours, which lead bookings and show the city’s geothermal attractions, followed by Parks & gardens and Theme parks for family-friendly days out. Museums and Observation decks attract smaller but steady interest. Demand on Klook peaks in January and February and eases through summer, with August noticeably quieter, so the rhythm of the year is a useful planning guide for activities. Use the season to decide whether you want lively winter festivals or tranquil off-peak hot-spring visits: choose between peak atmosphere and quieter timing. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Beppu
January and February are the busiest months on Klook for Beppu, while August is the quietest; prices rise into the January peak and fall through midyear, so crowding and cost often move together but not always.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers from Hong Kong book a little in advance and typically lock plans in about 9 days ahead, while the earliest planners secure experiences around 26 days out. That means you can often be flexible and book a day or two before travel for many Activities, but during the January–February peak months it pays to plan earlier. On Klook you can compare median prices and read past booking trends to pick quieter months or better-value dates—book the experiences you really want early and leave smaller purchases closer to departure.
