Visiting the 7 Hells is definitely worth it. No guide is needed. Each hell has its own unique characteristic. You can collect stamps at each of the Hells, and best of all, you can enjoy a foot bath in several of them. It's worth dedicating a full day (about 6 hours). I started with the two more remote ones, then took a lunch break (Jigoku meguri is a typical dish), and then finished the other five, which are close to each other. Incredible!

Highly recommended! Our tour guide, Carson, was very kind and friendly. He proactively helped us take photos and recommended great sights and food. Plus, he speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, which made communication very easy! Carson's time management was excellent. All group members were punctual, and no one was late, making the trip very smooth! Kyushu Zoo... being able to enjoy the air conditioning on the tour bus while watching the animals was a real treat for my parents, haha! Yufuin is definitely worth visiting. Carson's recommendations for eel rice and croquettes were delicious. You absolutely must try them! It's a shame we only had two hours... not quite enough time to explore the entire Yunotsubo Street... I hope the next trip can be scheduled for three hours! I will definitely join again!

Without clouds, stargazing is much clearer, and you can even see shooting stars! Actually, local guesthouses and hotels offer this excursion with hotel pickup by the guide. If you use Klook, however, you have to wait at an abandoned station, leaving you totally confused because they don't notify or contact you in advance about whether the tour is actually running.

easy to use for access to the museum. spectacular graphics. the museum explains how rain becomes onsen water over 50 years. quiz activity for you to complete for a small gift (bath pack). great as a pitstop exploring the 7 hells of Beppu. it’s next to Shiraike Jigoku.

this tour was really good if you love animals and want to see them up close. I enjoyed the guide Zhu Zhu was so sweet and even she spoke little English she was so great and made sure I was able to follow along with rest of the group. She was so delightful and kindhearted, helped me order all the foods form all the shops and stores and offered me her umbrella and even the sweet apples. I highly recommend this route you get to see lots in one day!

Amazing experience! Our tour guide, Emily-san, was very helpful and made the experience even better! I really appreciated how she would walk over to our seats to explain the information in English before translating it for the whole group in Chinese. Moreover, I initially thought that the African Safari might not meet my expectations, but it ended up being one of the best parts of the trip! The jungle buses were fully booked, so we went in on our tour bus instead, with safari music playing in the background. It was such a fun and unique experience! My friend also realized that she had left her phone in the restroom while we were on our way to Yufuin. Emily-san immediately contacted someone, and thankfully, the phone was found! Things could have turned out very differently, so we were really impressed by how quickly and calmly she handled the situation. Thank you, Emily-san, for making our trip such a wonderful and memorable experience! ❤️

This was my first time participating in a one-day tour, and I'm so glad our guide, Li Jing, assisted us on this trip. The entire itinerary was smooth and seamless. Throughout the journey, our guide diligently explained Japanese customs, traditions, and the origins of geographical names to the group. At the Blood Pond Hell, she took group photos for each family, explained the reason behind the red water, and pointed out the best photo spots. At the zoo, although we couldn't participate in the feeding activity because the feeding cart slots were full, our guide specially arranged seating so that every family could see the scenery on both sides of the zoo. The matcha-like Mount Yufu and the fairytale-like Yufuin village left a deep impression!

The onsen eggs and pudding we tasted amidst the thick steam of Yufuin Umi Jigoku were such a delicacy that they made us forget the hot weather, and the dreamlike cobalt blue of Kamado Jigoku also left a deeper impression than expected. Next, we visited Kyushu Natural Zoological Park (African Safari), which, living up to its reputation as the largest in Japan, offered a special experience of encountering the most diverse and numerous wild animals I've ever seen, from lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes to kangaroos, meerkats, and squirrel monkeys. Traveling along the safari road in a tour bus, we were able to observe the animals up close in their natural state, which was truly breathtaking. Afterward, we enjoyed the picturesque scenery of Lake Kinrin and then had an excellent meal at a soba restaurant highly recommended by our guide, which perfectly complemented the profound landscape. Strolling through the shopping street near the lake, tasting the famous Kinsho croquettes and honey ice cream, and exploring the charming streets also added to our simple pleasures. Undoubtedly, the highlight of this trip was meeting our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, who is fluent in both Chinese and Korean. Thanks to her excellent professionalism and passionate guidance, we enjoyed a perfect and fulfilling journey without a single flaw. Moreover, she also possessed exceptional photography skills, and we were fortunate enough to capture many precious "life shots" with my friends that we will cherish forever. I extend my sincere and deepest gratitude to guide Lee Hyang-yong, who not only provided thoughtful dinner recommendations that could be enjoyed in Fukuoka until the very end of the tour but also meticulously and kindly took care of every aspect of our trip from beginning to end. Thanks to the unforgettable memories we made on this trip, I will undoubtedly choose GOGODAY TRAVEL for my next journey, and I highly recommend a trip with guide Lee Hyang-yong to anyone considering a Kyushu tour.
