【2-day Beppu tour with a very fulfilling itinerary & reviews】
**🏆 Must-visit attractions**
1. **Beppu Hell Tour** (Recommendation: ★★★★★)
The seven hot spring hells have their own characteristics, especially the azure water of "Sea Hell" and the red wonder of "Blood Pond Hell" are super shocking! The steamy scenery is super good to take pictures, and you can also experience hell steamed food.
2. **Yufuin (Yufuin)** (Recommendation: ★★★★☆)
It takes about 1 hour by bus from Beppu. The fairy-tale Kinrin Lake, retro streets and dessert shops are super fun to visit, suitable for a leisurely afternoon walk.
3. **Beppu Cable Car (Tsurumiyama Mountain Climbing)** (Recommendation: ★★★★☆)
A 360-degree panoramic view overlooking Beppu Bay and the hot spring town, with different scenery in each season, and beautiful red leaves in autumn and cherry blossoms in spring!
4. **Takegawara Onsen** (Recommendation: ★★★☆☆)
A public bathhouse with a history of 100 years, the sand bathing experience is unique, but the facilities are relatively old, suitable for travelers who want to experience the local culture.
**🍜 Food Highlights**
- **Hell Steaming Workshop**: Use hot spring steam to steam seafood and vegetables, fresh and sweet original flavor must be tried!
- **Toyo Chang**: Beppu's specialty "Tori Ten" (fried chicken tempura) is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is worth queuing.
**💡 Itinerary Suggestions**
- **Day1**: Hell Tour → Hell Steaming Lunch → Beppu Cable Car Sunset Viewing → Takegawara Onsen Sand Bath
- **Day2**: Yufuin Half-Day Tour → Yunotsubo Street Stroll → Return to Beppu Station for Shopping
**🌟 Overall Evaluation**
Beppu gathers natural wonders, hot spring therapy and food, 2 days is enough to play the essence! Convenient transportation (recommended to buy the "Hell Ticket"), suitable for tourists who like slow travel. The only small drawback is that some attractions require tickets, and it is recommended to budget ¥5,000-7,000/day.
(※Seasonal activities may affect the experience, it is recommended to confirm the official website information before departure)
