We had Ada as our tour guide. She was very kind, helpful and has a good sense of humor. Actually the trip was very convenient because we wanted to see a lot of places in one day. Really recommend it and hopefully you also get our tour guide 😍😍 Thank you Ada 🫰🏻🫰🏻

I think this one-day tour was fantastic. Not only was the buy-one-get-one-free deal incredibly good value, but they also gave us souvenirs at the end. What I really appreciated most was not having to worry about transportation. Our tour guide was also very professional, and his English was excellent. We had foreign tourists in our group, and the guide could switch from Chinese to English instantly. His English was very pleasant to listen to. The only downside was that the flowing noodle area was closed due to an earthquake or something similar, so we didn't get to try the flowing noodles, which was a bit of a shame. Also, some group members went boating and were late, but the guide waited for them.

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!

The overall experience of this trip was fantastic! Tour guide Fan is extremely fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English, so communication was a breeze. Furthermore, he is very kind and attentively cared for every traveler along the way.
The itinerary was well-organized, the introductions to each attraction were very detailed, and departure times were always announced in advance, allowing everyone to follow the schedule with peace of mind. The driver was also very dedicated, making the entire bus ride comfortable.
All the sights this time were beautiful, and I especially loved Takachiho Gorge. The natural scenery, shrines, and outdoor activities along the way were truly relaxing, and the lunch was delicious as well. The overall pace did not feel rushed at all, making it a very comfortable journey.
If you join this kind of outdoor tour, since there are quite a few sections that require walking, I recommend wearing a good pair of comfortable walking shoes to make it much easier! I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves natural scenery and shrines.

had a beautiful and amazing day visiting Yufuin, Beppu, Kinrin Lake, and Dazaifu!
was the only English-speaking guest on the tour, while most of the other guests were part of the Chinese-speaking group. But thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Nana, I never felt left out or like I was on my own.
Nana-san translated everything for me in English, took my phone number just in case I got or lost, made sure I had a comfy seat, and constantly checked that I was okay. She was so warm, funny, and genuinely thoughtful. She even reco a great place for ice cream at Honeybees! It honestly felt like I had my own little travel buddy for the day
My fave part of the trip was Kinrin Lake. I was honestly amazed by how beautiful it was
Beppu was also incredible. we couldn’t go on the Beppu Ropeway because of the weather, Dazaifu was under construction during my visit. Yufuin was probably the least enjoyable part for me because it felt quite touristy and crowded
ended up having such a wonderful time.

I did the tour to see Takachiho Gorge and Aso Kusasenri, and I had a fantastic time. The tour was incredibly well-organized. Our guide, Sun, was knowledgeable and professional; he gave us great context about the area and guided us exceptionally well throughout the day. The gorge was beautiful, and the boat experience was so much fun. I also added the lunch package at the last minute and was really glad I did, because the food was delicious. We even got to see horses at Kusasenri, which was very cool. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

I had booked this tour led by guide Nana, but since I was staying overnight in Kumamoto that evening, I realized right before departure that it didn't quite fit my schedule. Guide Nana immediately helped me switch to a more suitable tour led by guide Zhou. It poured rain on the day of the tour, but guide Zhou thoughtfully looked after all the team members the entire way. She was enthusiastic and cheerful, bringing laughter wherever we went. When an American joined the group as we left Kumamoto Castle, guide Zhou took turns explaining everything in both Chinese and English all the way. Listening to her native-sounding English introduction was also a treat. Finally, when we were about to leave, guide Zhou asked the driver to drop us off right at the station entrance so we wouldn't get soaked in the rain while pulling our luggage. In short, I am very grateful to the two enthusiastic guides I met this time. Even though it was a rainy day, my heart was filled with sunshine the whole way.

Our day tour to Dazaifu, Yufuin, Kamado Jigoku, and Umi Jigoku was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, shop, and truly enjoy each stop.
A special thanks to our tour guide, Vivian, for making the experience even more memorable. She shared interesting stories and historical facts about every place we visited, which made us appreciate each destination on a deeper level. Her instructions were always clear, and she managed the schedule efficiently, ensuring we had enough free time while keeping the tour running smoothly.
Vivian also went the extra mile by recommending local specialties and must-try food, helping us make the most of our visit. Her friendliness, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone in the group made the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fukuoka and Beppu. If you get Vivian as your guide, you’re in excellent hands!

I am glad the tour guide assigned in our trip was Daisy. She was the same guide we had last year in our Mt. Aso tour. As before, she was very nice, insightful, and helpful. She provided relevant information and information and concern to the tour participants. We had ample time to explore Beppu m.
Yufu at a glance
Quick facts about Yufu
General info
What to know before visiting Yufu
Quick snapshot of Yufu and what to expect
Yufu’s Klook bookings are dominated by tours, with cultural experiences and outdoor activities also popular — the city's visitor rhythm shows clear highs and lows through the year. Demand peaks in June and falls to its lowest in August, so the flow of visitors is distinctly seasonal.
Best times to visit for crowds and prices
Klook data shows June as the busiest month and August as the quietest. Prices follow a different pattern: according to Klook booking data, September has typically been the priciest month while August is typically the cheapest, with prices swinging substantially between those months. If you want fewer crowds and lower prices, aim for August when both demand and prices are at their softest; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere, June delivers the busiest vibe even though prices are not at their absolute high. Note that demand and price don’t move in perfect lockstep here — the busiest month (June) isn’t the priciest, so you can still find relatively moderate prices outside September.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia book about 11 days ahead on average, with a noticeable share booking within three days for last-minute plans. If you’re travelling in June or other busy months, planning and securing key tours a couple of weeks ahead helps lock in choices; for short, flexible trips you can often book a day or two before and still find options. Use Klook to compare available tours and experiences, and pick the ones that match your travel tempo.
