Beppu, Kyushu | Templo Nyoirin, Monte Yufu, Yufuin, Lago Kinrin e Tour de um dia pelo Inferno

This trip to Northern Kyushu was a collection of different atmospheres at each attraction, like packing "healing, surprise, relaxation, and beautiful scenery" into one memory.The first stop was Nyoirin-ji Temple, where the most impressive sight was the abundance of frog ornaments. I initially thought it was just an ordinary temple, but upon entering, I discovered cute and unique frogs everywhere, adding a childlike charm to the entire worship process. It happened to be the Wind Chime Festival, and while praying, listening to the gentle tinkling of the wind chimes helped calm the mind, and the photo opportunities were also very unique. Seeing so many "frogs greeting" you, you can't help but keep looking for the next one, like playing a treasure hunt game.The second stop, Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell), was a completely different kind of shock. The blue hot spring pool was even more vibrant than I imagined, and with the steam rising, it truly looked like a scene from an animation. The steaming hot spring, after spewing out of the geyser, turned into tiny water droplets that gently fell on my face, which was very special and surprising. I wondered if it could beautify the skin. It was my first time seeing a natural hot spring with such a color, and I found it incredibly magical. The air was filled with the scent of the hot springs, and you could feel the power of nature. There was also a sip of the rejuvenating hot spring water, which was salty and very unique! Besides seeing the hellish hot springs, the hot spring steamed eggs and hell pudding are also worth trying.The third stop was the Yufudake trailhead, where the lush, vast grassland made me feel relaxed. The weather was also excellent, making it perfect for children to run around. I recommend bringing sunscreen, as it's a very open area with not many trees for shade.At the fourth stop, Yufuin, the overall pace completely slowed down. Although it was a holiday and crowded, it didn't dampen my spirits. The streets had a very comfortable and leisurely feel, and strolling around was very relaxing. The scenery around Kinrin Lake is beautiful, and the air felt especially pleasant. Along the way, there were many unique shops, delicious food, and desserts, making me lose track of time. This isn't a bustling or exciting attraction, but rather a place that makes you want to slow down and truly experience the warmth of travel. The Fairytale Flower Village is great for photos, but it was too crowded. To find a good angle for photos, you have to wait for the crowds to pass to get a shot without people. The main attraction, Kinrin Lake, isn't large, but the scenery is beautiful. Walking along the lake, you can see reflections on the water, creating a dreamy and romantic atmosphere. The gentle breeze combined with the quiet ambiance liberated my mind. Looking at the lake and mountain views, it's truly worth stopping to have a good conversation with your inner self.The best part of this trip was that each attraction offered a completely different experience. The cute and healing atmosphere of Nyoirin-ji Temple, the leisurely relaxation of Yufuin, and the natural wonder of Umi Jigoku made the entire journey rich and never tiring. The most amazing thing about travel is probably that what started as just seeing the sights, taking photos, and checking in, ultimately recharges your spirit as well.A big thank you to our tour guide, Brother Zhang Chao, for introducing the attractions, helping everyone take group photos, and even more impressively, bringing his own exclusive stamps – he's truly detail-oriented and worth it!Also, a big thank you to the driver (car number 5158) for his smooth driving. We felt very comfortable resting in the car. We were also on his car for the tour the day before, what a coincidence! Next time we come to Fukuoka, we hope to join another one-day tour and have the chance to meet again.

This day trip to Yufuin was a fantastic experience! A special thank you to our guide, Kevin. Guide's Performance: Kevin was truly humorous and enthusiastic. His explanations throughout the journey were lively and engaging, never boring. He even proactively helped everyone take beautiful photos and attended to the needs of every group member, which significantly enhanced the trip! Itinerary Arrangement: Although the itinerary felt a little rushed due to the abundance of attractions, the guide managed the time very well. All the listed attractions were seen, and not a single key stop was missed. Summary: If you want to efficiently explore Yufuin within a limited time, this tour is definitely the right choice. Meeting Kevin was an added stroke of luck! We even saw a rainbow 🌈 – I highly recommend it to everyone!

這次參加這次的北九州行程安排得太棒了！一天之內造訪了多個各具特色的景點，動線流暢、時間充裕，加上導遊Lily對於各個景點的介紹相當詳盡，非常推薦給想要深度體驗大分縣魅力的旅人！

Lily the tour guide is super nice! She always tells us in advance where to meet or where the restrooms are, and she shares history and food recommendations with everyone! She's also very patient in answering everyone's questions, just a super great person 👍 I learned so much about Japan, and my friends were all very happy with this trip! The only downside was the bad weather, it kept raining, which was a shame.

Departed at 8:30 AM and returned to Hakata at 5:30 PM. The driver's skills were excellent! Our tour guide, Hedy, had a wonderful service attitude, switching between Chinese and English, and proactively helped us take photos. However, the time spent in Yufuin was too short, only 2 hours, which wasn't enough to explore, and eating alone took an hour. For Beppu Hells, visiting "Umi Jigoku" (Sea Hell) is sufficient, as the others are quite similar.

It was a great experience! 😊 Even though the weather was pretty harsh today, Kevin handled everything really well and made sure it affected our trip as little as possible. He was friendly, helpful, and kept everything organized throughout the day .

We had a wonderful time on this trip. The bus was comfortable and the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The guide decided to skip the mountain-side trail since it wasn't blooming, so it would have just been plain or half-dead flowers to look at. She added that time to the village, which created almost a 3-hour stop there. We had plenty of time at each stop to see the locations, use the restrooms, and shop. Definitely a way to see more remote portions of Japan. We would love to go back to Beppu for a longer stay. If you would like to see the countryside of Japan, definitely take this trip.

The Kyushu day trip itinerary was incredibly fulfilling! From the auspicious Nyoirin-ji Temple and the magnificent Mount Yufu, to the relaxing and enjoyable Yufuin and the dreamy Lake Kinrin, and finally the impressive "Hell Tour" – we packed a lot into one day without feeling rushed. Special thanks to our guide, Yanagi-san, whose explanations in both Chinese and English were very clear. He was thoughtful and professional, making the journey safe and exciting. I highly recommend it!

Had an amazing experience! Daisy Wu is a wonderful and super friendly guide. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I was really impressed by how well she managed such a large group while still making sure everyone felt taken care of individually. Daisy gave us great navigating tips to maximize our trip and get the most out of every spot. Plus, the local food recommendations she shared were a huge bonus. 11/10!
