[Oita] Kyushu Yufuin no Mori Train & Umi Jigoku & Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine & Yufuin One-Day Tour (Departing from Fukuoka)
- Overview
-
- * Specially arranged for the most beautiful afternoon light of the day, take the Yufuin no Mori train through the essential mountain scenery section from Yufuin to Oita. Greenery flows outside the window, and sunlight streams into the retro carriage, making the entire journey super chill.
- * Arrive at the Yufuin hot spring town, avoid the crowds, and enjoy plenty of leisurely time without rushing. Coffee shops, general stores, and mountain trails – just strolling around creates a healing scene.
- * Step into Beppu's most iconic "Hell" hot springs, where an incredibly cobalt blue pool of water steams with white mist.
- * The last stop is Dazaifu, a must-visit spot in Fukuoka. Cross the vermilion Taikobashi bridge, where the aroma of Umegae Mochi drifts along the approach, and let the guide slowly tell you the story of the God of Learning.
