My wife and I had a wonderful day of Yufuin and Beppu day trip. We explored the beautiful scenery, sampled local delicacies and soaked feet in the hot springs, very relaxed. Our tour guide is Hedy. She is friendly and helpful. She was really beneficial to us. She gave historical background and suggested a good selection of delicious foods to try. At every stop, She would remind us to use the restroom.

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.”

Our tour guide Jimmy was very dedicated and spoke two languages fluently. He also frequently offered to help, which made our trip go very smoothly. Definitely a five-star review! The time spent at the zoo was more than enough, allowing for plenty of interaction with the animals. There were so many things to see and do in Yufuin!! If I could, I would definitely come again!

This time, I mainly chose a chartered car to go to Kyushu African Safari. I really recommend chartered cars for family trips. The car ride from Tenjin is two hours, and you can rest well in the car. Chartered cars can enter the Safari area, which is very worthwhile. You can tell that every animal is doing well just by observing its fur. Both adults and children enjoyed watching them. The driver was very nice and recommended a local udon noodle restaurant for lunch, which was delicious and inexpensive. I have purchased chartered car trips on Klook twice, and so far the experiences have been very good 👍

we didnt have the chance to experience riding beppu ropeway and see the place up there due to bad weather- it was raining so bad, which is understandable it was beyond the control. however the overall trip is still superb and recommended. the tourguide is very kind and approachable she always made sure we are comfortable and enjoy the trip regardless of the bad weather
