Things to do in Yufu

this was such a fantastic tour. very laid back. good thing i chose tuesday for the tour. luckily there were NO traffic at all! travel to Yufuin from Dazaifu was less than 1.5hrs. WANG our tour guide was such a sweet gal. although if i can suggest one thing - i wish she’d wait a little longer when giving instructions to the group as soon as everyone is outside the bus. i just noticed that she gives instructions to 5-10 people even if most of the group are still on board the bus. we can only hear 1/4 of what she had discussed with the smaller group of people.

Used Klook Miyazaki Day Trip on 2026/01/11. We rarely encounter snow forecasts, but unexpectedly, we actually experienced it. Our first stop was Hakusen Suigen. It started snowing along the way. After arriving, we purified ourselves and filled a bottle with spring water. It was sweet, smooth, and more delicious than mineral water. The tour guide even bought sweet oranges for everyone, which was really thoughtful ❤️ Our second stop was Takachiho Gorge. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. The gorge and waterfall paired with the snow scenery were so beautiful that we didn't want to leave. For lunch, we had beef udon noodles, which were especially warming in the cold weather. Our third stop was Ama-no-Iwato Shrine, where I bought milk mango soft-serve ice cream. It was really super delicious and rich. We slowly finished this day amidst the snowy scenery and waterfalls. I realized that the most beautiful part of traveling isn't the planned itinerary, but the scenery you just happen to encounter 🤍

A really enjoyable and well-organised experience. The Yufuin no Mori train ride was a highlight, and Yufuin town was lovely to explore. Our guide, Thomas, was highly animated, energetic, and funny, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The itinerary was well paced and it was great value for money.

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. 😆😆😆😆

Seven is very attentive and give useful information during the trip, she also very kind to help everyone take the pictures, thumbs up for her. Amazing view from Kinrin Lake and enjoying many delicious Yufuin street food from this trip.

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.

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.

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 !

The guide was very nice as he spoke both English and Korean. The female manager or boss was also nice as she offered me an umbrella when it started snowing. We covered a lot of ground as the day started at 8 and we go back around 6. All the sites were decent, I opted for the Attack on Titan dam and museum. This is the only tour that I know that covers this area as it is impossible for me to get to these areas without a tour bus. I wish we had a bit more time on the Attack on Titan museum but we did cover a lot of places and we also hit traffic which probably reduced our time. For the money and value, this is a good experience and I recommend it. The guides offered a lot of good suggestions on places to eat during and after the trip. Thank you for a memorable and easy trip. FYI bring some cash as you will need 500 yen to get into Beppu location and the attack on titan museum.
