[Oita] Become a local! A Walking Tour of Arts, Crafts & Onsen Culture

• Fancy avoiding crowded touristic hotspots and exploring more 'local' areas you likely wouldn't find in a travel brochure? In this exclusive, small-group walking tour, you'll immerse yourself in history & culture whilst strolling through the streets of downtown* Beppu.
• Experience the work and daily lives of the local artists who live here, visit a bamboo craft factory** and enjoy a rare chance to meet skilled artisans face to face.
• The tour culminates in a visit to a century-old Japanese house comprising a contemporary art gallery and gift shop. The house also features a history room showcasing historic photographs of Beppu’s past.
• *Please be aware that:
• a) this tour does NOT cover popular touristic spots (such as the 'Hells'), but showcases the city's lesser-known cultural streets & alleys, and
• b) you will not be shown inside an onsen building
• **Please also note that due to the possibility of businesses varying opening times, the route & places visited may be subject to change.

Witness first-hand a local market selling fresh fish and vegetables, and enjoy a rare chance to interact with local Japanese residents.
