Slow Down Summer: Soulful Solo Ride to Yufuin

#summervacay #yufuinnomori #thingstodo #kyushutrip
Traveling solo doesn’t mean traveling alone—especially aboard the Yufuin no Mori. Starting from Beppu, where JR Pass holders can easily book tickets at the counter, I boarded with excitement and zero hassle. The train’s polished wooden interior, lounge seats, and panoramic windows created a cocoon of calm.

I journaled. I watched light scatter through the trees. I arrived in Yufuin with a clear head and a full heart.

Travel Tip: Reserve in person at Beppu Station—simpler and cheaper than online.

Yufuin’s slow rhythm matched mine perfectly. It’s the kind of place where you walk slower, sip longer, and listen more—to the wind, the water, yourself.
