After extensive research on Kyushu, I found that compared to the hassle of transfers with independent travel, choosing a bus tour is a hundred times more convenient! No need to scramble for Yufuin no Mori train tickets or deal with JR transfers; everything is arranged for you. The view from the summit of Daikanbo is superb, and if you're lucky, you might see a sea of clouds. Aso Shrine is quiet and ancient, with its matchmaking pine and sacred spring creating a wonderful atmosphere. Yufuin offers fairytale shops, the No-Face character stand, and comprehensive coverage of Kinrin Lake, allowing you to freely find desserts and snacks.
