BeppuYufuinA ryokan stay

A journey, taking shape.

A suggested route, made to be yours
Days 1–2Discover Beppu

Explore the town and its dramatic hot-spring landscapes. The famous “hells” are for viewing, not bathing; choose a designated onsen for your soak.

Days 3–4A change of pace in Yufuin

Trade a busy schedule for café stops, small shops and time in an onsen. Book a ryokan night around the atmosphere you enjoy.

Day 5One last easy morning

Enjoy breakfast and a final stroll before continuing your trip. Confirm your onward bus or train in advance.

A little sensei advice

Check bathing and tattoo policies with each facility before visiting. A private bath can be a useful option, depending on the property.
