Activity itinerary

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
  • 1h 40m
Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is a significant Shinto shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning. As the largest Tenmangu shrine in Kyushu, it attracts visitors seeking blessings for academic success. The shrine features a beautifully lacquered main hall, showcasing traditional Japanese architecture, and surrounding gardens with seasonal flowers that enhance the serene atmosphere. It is home to various historical buildings, including Tenkai Inari Shrine, Treasure Hall, and Kanko Historical Museum, adding depth to its cultural offerings. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal blooms such as plum blossoms, which hold particular significance as they were favored by Michizane.
Beppu Ropeway
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Travelers will experience the beauty of Beppu from above with a ride on the Kintetsu Beppu Ropeway, an aerial lift that connects Beppu City to the slopes of Mount Tsurumi. As the cable car ascends, enjoy panoramic views of Beppu Bay, the city’s hot spring steam rising below, and the surrounding mountains that change colors with each season—cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn leaves, and snow in winter. At the summit, you can stroll through scenic walking paths and capture breathtaking photos of Kyushu’s landscape. In case the Beppu Ropeway is not operating due to weather or maintenance, the tour will visit Umi Jigoku instead, one of Beppu’s famous “hells,” where you can see striking blue hot spring pools and learn about the region’s geothermal wonders (admission not included: Adults ¥500, Children ¥250).
Kinrin Lake
  • 3h
Travelers visiting Yufuin will be enchanted by its peaceful countryside charm, surrounded by rolling mountains and scenic beauty. This picturesque town is known for its relaxing atmosphere, boutique shops, art galleries, and gourmet cafés serving local specialties. You can take a leisurely stroll through its charming streets, ride a sightseeing carriage, or wander around Kinrin Lake, where the mist rising from the water creates a magical, fairytale-like scene. The area is perfect for taking photos, enjoying handmade desserts, and sampling regional treats such as wagyu croquettes or rich dairy products from local farms. Lunch expenses are not included, giving you the freedom to explore and taste at your own pace. Please note that depending on capacity or weather conditions, some attractions may be skipped or adjusted to ensure a smooth and comfortable travel experience.
Yufuin Station
  • 2h 14m
Travelers will enjoy a relaxing and scenic journey aboard the Yufuin no Mori, Kyushu’s famous sightseeing train known for its elegant design and panoramic windows. The 134-minute ride between Yufuin and Hakata offers breathtaking views of mountains, forests, and charming countryside scenery. Inside, the train features comfortable wooden interiors, spacious seats, and an onboard café where you can savor local snacks and drinks while watching the landscape unfold. This is an unguided experience, allowing you to travel at your own pace and simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. You can choose from two return train options—15:56 or 17:17—with the later departure recommended for the best timing with the day tour. The journey concludes at Hakata Station, marking the perfect end to a serene and picturesque train adventure through the heart of Kyushu.
