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.

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!

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.

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.

I was looking for a Fukuoka tour, and I ended up booking this one because I liked the itinerary. It turned out to be wonderful. Having a Korean-speaking guide made a huge difference; they took great care of us and told us what was good and what wasn't at each destination, which really saved us a lot of time. Among the places we visited, I especially loved the Yufuin area. It was very memorable because there were many great local eateries that are hard to find even during a typical trip to Japan, and the weather was so nice that Lake Kinrin was breathtakingly beautiful. If I ever come back to Fukuoka, I'd definitely love to book another tour, perhaps visiting the Sapporo Beer Brewery!

I really enjoyed the tour today! 🥰 It was such a meaningful experience, especially since I almost missed it!
A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aida, for coming back to pick me up and giving me a few extra minutes. 🥹❤️ If you’re taking this tour, make sure you’re on time!
Yufuin Village was absolutely beautiful and had so many shops and things to explore, especially along the alley leading to Yufuin Station. My eyes were literally “drooling” from all the beautiful things I saw! 😍✨
Thank you, Aida, for making the experience even more special! 💕
Beppu at a glance
Quick facts about Beppu
General info
What to know before visiting Beppu
Overview of Beppu and what draws visitors
Beppu is a hot-springs city known for onsen experiences, tours and outdoor gardens, with museums and observation decks rounding out visitor options. Demand on Klook peaks in January and drops sharply in August, so the city’s rhythm swings between a busy winter season and a very quiet late-summer lull.
When to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data show January as the busiest month and August as the quietest. Prices follow the same pattern: according to Klook data, August is typically the cheapest month while March tends to be the priciest, and prices rise through autumn into early spring. If you want lower prices and fewer people, travel in August or September; for peak-season atmosphere and livelier onsen town energy, aim for January. Overall demand and prices largely move together here—busy months are generally more expensive.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers book about a week in advance on average, with many last-minute bookings possible as close as one day before. If you’re travelling within the peak months named above, plan and book a few weeks ahead to secure preferred onsen tours and popular activities; for off-peak travel you can be more flexible and still find good options on Klook.
