I came to Beppu with a friend for a one day trip and visited Wander compass. As I had already been here for the famous Jigoku, Onsen and steamed food (that i recommend), we decided to rent the shop bicycles and opted for a ride along the beach, after visiting the local park to see the Plum trees and bamboo. We finished the day with a more local experience in the oldest onsen for Ashiyu and Sand bath! (Try the mud or sand bath while in town). We had a great time spending the day with the staff member (Chika). They will guide you through all the common and less common spots and activities in town depending on what you’re looking for! The shop is located at the station so i recommend you to pay a visit if you are in town :)

I knew that Taki Rentaro got the inspiration of his famous melody of “Kojyo no Tsuki”, and thought that it is just ruins of an old castle. Indeed, it was a good surprise. Oka Castle ruins is a wonderful place to familiarize with the great nature. The distanced view of Kujyu mountains is fantastic. Outside of Hokkaido, there is still some place like this in Japan. It is a new discovery.

You may have read the forgoing reviews and think well Mount Yufu is an easy climb. Well, yes and no. My husband and I decided to make the attempt with nominal training. We took approximately 4 hours to go up and down. I made it to the cradle whilst he made it to the top of the east peak which is purportedly easier. What made it more difficult was that for most of the climb, the path was littered with loose rocks and stones. If you do not have the appropriate hiking shoes, your feet and ankles would be in for a battering and you constantly have to watch you balance as the rocks can easily slide or give way. For me the descent was extra challenging because it was punishing on the knees as well. Having said that the path to the summit was well- trodden and clearly marked. The numerous switchbacks made for a gentler slope. We also noticed many elderly folk armed with hiking poles making the ascent and descent, as well as parents with young kids doing the climb. That of course galvanized us to make it to the top! The views were worth it!

The largest ropeway in Kyushu with a maximun riding capacity of 101 passengers ! I will guide you through the 10 minute journey to Tsurumi Sanjo Station situated at 1,300 maters above sea level. Standing 1,375m high, Mt.Tsurumi is located at the east edge of Aso-Kuju National Park. Mt.Tsurumi is an active volcano with fumarole activity still occurring in the backside, and is the source of Beppu Hot Spring. The top of Mt.Tsurumi offers a beautiful view of the Beppu Area, Mt. Yufu, the Kuju Moutains, and the Shikoku Regions.
We went up there with our baby in a carrier. It was 0 degree Celsius so it was slightly cold. However, we walked up to the top of the mountain so it was not hot at all. It’s worth our time.

This suspension bridge offers view of three differently sized waterfalls. Scenic view, perhaps more spectacular with the mountains covered with autumn leaves. Scary to view the valley bottom from the middle section. Admission fee included a small free souvenir picture. Allow 40 mins for a leisurely stroll, both ways.

The Kuju Flower Park located in Aso-Kuju National Park. It is where the time goes slowly to yourself be with the nature.
