A lovely, comprehensive but comfortably-paced walking and bus tour of Beppu’s incredible natural hot springs, complete with history, cultural context, and interaction with the natural areas and local people.
Great sampling of local food and drinks, relaxing foot soaking in the hot spring waters, walkthroughs of the baths/steam culture surrounding the springs, and of course a peaceful and engaging exploration of the varied and majestic springs!
Our guide, Sana San, was absolutely incredible. Her knowledge of the region, the geological phenomena, and local customs enriched our understanding of the already very cool sights and gorgeous, winding mountain springs. Her warmth, friendliness and endless supply of plucky enthusiasm made her guidance around the area of me of the most pleasant tours we’ve ever had the fortune to experience. Her English was excellent, and helped us - a group of limited Japanese comprehension - understand and feel welcome every step of the way. I can’t recommend this tour, and in particular Sana San, enough.
Be prepared to walk for quite a while, but there are also plenty of well-timed breaks and moments for rest.
Perfect for individuals, couples, and groups looking for an experience that shows the highlights of the area but also a surprising amount of impromptu and wonderful interaction with locals - including, in our case, a priest who treated us unexpectedly with a performance of the Beatles’ “All My Lovin’” on acoustic guitar!
11/10 would do again.

Thanks for the glowing 11/10 review! We're so glad Sana-san made your Beppu trip special. That impromptu guitar performance sounds like a truly magical moment. We truly appreciate your high recommendation!

We had a wonderful tour with Sanae, she brought to so many different places, all so interesting! We loved the steam cooking experience and seeing the Hells! Sanae was so good at telling the history of Beppu, thank you!

Absolutely amazing tour with Tomoko! From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her passion for Beppu truly shone through as she guided us through the town’s stunning hot springs, hidden gems, and local culture. Her English was fantastic, which made the experience seamless and engaging, and she shared so many fascinating facts that we never would’ve discovered on our own. Tomoko’s kind nature and deep understanding of the area made this tour an unforgettable highlight of our trip. Highly recommend booking with her—you’ll leave with a full heart and a deeper appreciation for beautiful Beppu! Thank you so very much for making our time in Beppu unforgettable, Tomoko!

I love the tour as a whole i never thought it will be a personal tour & i will never forget the taste of the rice with meat covered in leaf & also the egg cooked through onsen, so yummy. My guide is very good, still very active at her age & speaks good english. I highly recommend her. Beppu is a wonderful place blessed with onsen (hot spring) everywhere. You can find smoke everywhere that makes the place unique. I am satisfied with my visit to this place because of Kimiko my friendly & knowledgeable guide.

We enjoyed a great half day exploring the hot springs, Kannawa and Myoban. Our local guide was well informed about the geological processes behind the hot spring phenomena and explained it in a friendly manner
