Beppu Zájazdy

Our tour guide, Daisy, provided thorough explanations in Chinese throughout the trip and was very attentive to the elderly members of our group. She even created her own recommended Google lists for different areas and enthusiastically helped us call to reserve delicious kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) at the restaurant in front of Yufuin Station. We got to try all three flavors: beef, chicken, and eel—it was truly amazing! At Tenmangu Shrine, she professionally advised us on which shops to visit first (as they were closing soon) and shared tips on how to pray and make wishes. On the way back, she recommended great places to eat and fun things to do in Fukuoka. Tour A offered a rich and interesting itinerary, allowing those who love shopping and good food to enjoy a fulfilling day. However, the schedule was tight and felt a bit rushed, and the travel time between destinations meant we couldn't fully enjoy shopping (how much do I love shopping, anyway?). Next time, I'd like to visit Yufuin on my own (I bought so many Miffy items!).

The trip was so good. We went to the zoo in the morning and then to umi jigoku, seeing mount yufu on the way to yufuin. Our guide Nicole Yang was very good in explaining and very helpful. She help me taking pictures since I am a solo traveler.

I recently took the Dazaifu + Yufuin + Beppu day tour. Overall, the itinerary was well-planned, and the attractions were definitely worth visiting. However, it rained all day, which certainly impacted the experience and my mood. The planned cable car ride was canceled due to a typhoon and replaced with a visit to Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell), which was a bit disappointing. Still, the attraction itself was unique, though it would have been more complete if we could have stuck to the original plan. Yufuin itself is beautiful, but with the constant rain that day, walking around the town was a bit inconvenient, and I couldn't browse or take photos at my leisure, which slightly diminished the overall experience. Despite the weather and itinerary changes, the tour guide was excellent 👍 and very responsible throughout. I left the group in Yufuin to stay two nights there and one night in Kurokawa, enjoying the open-air hot springs (rotenburo). When I left the group, the guide even helped me call a taxi 🚕 so I could get to my hotel smoothly, which was truly thoughtful.

We had a lovely time during the entire tour. We had enough time at every stop for us to enjoy. The itinerary was well organized. We were never rushed. We had Matthew with us as our tour guide and he was really great in giving us informations regarding the scenic areas that we went to. We really appreciated his calm demeanor throughout the trip and his food recommendations. He sent us links and locations for us to easier navigate them. He was responsive to all our inquiries and always emphasized safety and to contact him should we have any concerns. All in all we had a wonderful experience.

The tour guide was exceptionally professional and friendly. Highly recommended day trip!!! Started the morning with peaceful vibes at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine – the plum blossoms and autumn leaves were stunning, and you can feel the history in every step. Then we headed to Yufuin Town – think Studio Ghibli meets hot spring paradise. After lunch, soaked in the views of Mt. Yufu and explored the cute cafés and craft shops. Next up, Beppu Ropeway for jaw-dropping views of the city and the bay from above. The cable car ride alone is worth it! Additional 1700 yen. Last but definitely not least – Kamado Jigoku (one of Beppu’s famous “Hells”). Not only did we see bubbling geothermal ponds and steam vents, but we also got a complimentary onsen egg (so creamy!) and a refreshing lemon soda to wash it down. A perfect mix of culture, nature, incredible food, and quirky onsen fun. Highly recommend this route for anyone visiting Fukuoka/Oita!

Even though it was raining, the overall itinerary was very well managed. We had a mini-bus with two guides: Zhu Zhu, who handled Chinese and Korean, and another male guide who provided explanations and commentary in fluent English. This was my first time on a one-day tour, and I was surprised that the guides even walked with us. Zhu Zhu is an excellent guide; she provided detailed information about restrooms and lunch options and consistently ensured the group stayed together and that everyone was accounted for. The entire trip was very enriching. Although the schedule was a bit tight, there was still enough time even for those who love taking photos. We even received small gifts at the end! Since I was staying in Takachiho, I opted out of the return trip, and Zhu Zhu was very enthusiastic in discussing my drop-off location. I'm so glad I joined this one-day tour, and I highly recommend it!

The Yufuin Forest Secret One-Day Tour is an absolute masterpiece of an itinerary, perfectly blending Kyushu's breathtaking nature, nostalgic charm, and otherworldly wonders into a seamless day. Starting in the beautiful mountain-ringed city of Yufu, you are immediately immersed in a scenic retreat where the streets are packed with fantastic local food and endless souvenir shops to explore. The romance of old Japan comes alive the moment you board the vintage green Yufuin No Mori express train to Oita, offering a beautifully nostalgic ride through rolling countryside. The adventure shifts into high gear at the Beppu Hell hot springs, where the striking, surreal contrast of the boiling cobalt-blue and fiery-red thermal waters feels like stepping onto another planet. Finally, wrapping up the day at the historic Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine provides a perfect, deeply peaceful cultural finale to an unforgettable journey. Kevin of JRT, arigato gozaimasu for being a wonderful tour guide!

Day trip to Yufuin no Mori , See Hell and Daizhifu. We had a great experience today. The guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our day trip comfortable and enjoyable.The places we visited were beautiful, and the schedule was perfect.We really enjoyed the trip today. Highly recommended!

The meet up place is in Fukuoka Central Post Office but the bus was actually park in the next building. Our Group is composed of English, Chinese and Korean groups and there were 3 tour guides in our bus. All the places we visited were so nice. I find the time allotted for each itinerary is limited. So it will be a challenge to go around the whole place for those people with mobility issue. Also, reminder to bring Cash when you go yo Yufuin, a lot of them especially the streetfood vendors, accepts only cash. We walked all the way to a 711 store there to withdraw cash 😅 which eats a lot of our time. Btw, our tour guides sends us recommendations on the places we visited and it is helpful. our guide recommended to try the Hinagoten Soy sauce Ice cream- and it was sooo good! it tasted like Cheese Ice cream 🤯
