Kayoko was an excellent guide! She provided interesting information about the places we visited, was easy to talk with and kept to the schedule without rushing us.

Overview of your Fukuoka tour
You will visit two major hot spring resorts by a private van (van fee NOT INCLUDED in the tour fee). Beppu city is located about 150km away from Fukuoka. The city is famous for hot spring and has the largest amount of hot spring water in Japan. You'll visit hot springs for viewing called Kamado Jigoku or Hotpot Hell, and Umi Jigoku or Ocean Hell. Although you do not have enough time to take a bath, you can enjoy foot bath in Hotpot Hell, which is quite relaxing. Yufuin is located about 25km away from Beppu, another popular tourist sights. You can enjoy shopping and eating local foods while enjoying nature, such as lake Kinrin and Mt. Yufudake.
