• Yukemuri Observatory - This is the initial destination. From this vantage point, visitors can observe steam rising from Beppu’s hot springs, offering a clear view of the town and the surrounding mountains. It’s an excellent location to appreciate the landscape and enjoy one of Beppu’s most distinctive sights.
• Beppu Ropeway - Ascend 1300 meters above sea level on Kyushu’s largest Ropeway. The Beppu Ropeway transports visitors to the summit of Mt. Tsurumi, an active volcano and the origin of Beppu Hot Springs, where panoramic views of Beppu and Beppu Bay can be enjoyed.
• Mt. Yufu - Mount Yufu, a 5,195 ft volcano, is situated on the border of Yufu and Beppu. It will be visible on the journey to Yufuin.
• Sagiridai Observatory - Positioned between Yufuin and Beppu along the Yamanami Highway (Prefectural Route 11), this observatory is renowned as one of Kyushu’s most scenic driving spots. This stop provides a stunning view of the Yufuin Basin from 680 meters above sea level.
• Yufuin Area - This rural Japanese town evokes the charm of a beloved Ghibli film. Experience the picturesque Japanese countryside hills and wander around creeks and delightful cafes.
• Lake Kinrin - A walk to Lake Kinrin is planned. Nestled beneath Mt. Yufu, the lake was historically known as takemoto-no-ike or “lake under the mountain” by locals. It was renamed Kinrin, or “golden scales,” by Mori Kuso, a Confucius scholar, in 1884 after he observed golden-scaled fish in the waters at sunset.
• Umi Jigoku - [Optional] One of Beppu’s renowned “hells,” Umi Jigoku boasts stunning turquoise-blue waters heated to over 90°C (194°F) — too hot to touch but perfect for breathtaking views. Created over 1,200 years ago by volcanic activity, its vibrant color is due to natural minerals. Witness steam rising to create a mystical, otherworldly scene that highlights Beppu’s remarkable geothermal power.
