🍀Day 1
✨Tenjin city tour, recommended Yakuin Yakiniku

🏠Tenjin Cross Life

🍀Day 2
✨Pick up the car in Tenjin and head to Yufuin
(Pre-booked a 7-seater car with full insurance)
🐮Tried Yufu Mabushi Kokoro Bungo Beef
Worth trying, but I prefer regular Wagyu 🥩
The snacks in Yufuin alleys are even better~
✨On the way to Beppu, passed by Mount Yufu
The advantage of self-driving is you can stop anytime to take photos and enjoy the scenery
🏠Beppu Amanek Beppu Yula-re

🍀Day 3

Hell steaming is quite special, you have to put the food into the steamer yourself
✨Tsurumi-dake Ropeway 🚡
Enjoy panoramic views of Oita Prefecture and Beppu
✨Suiten Sushi
You have to write your order in Japanese yourself, delicious 🤤 Highly recommend!
🏠Beppu Amanek Beppu Yula-re

🍀Day 4
✨Leave Beppu and go to Mount Aso 🌋
✨On the way, pass by Kokonoe Yume Otsurihashi
Japan’s highest pedestrian suspension bridge with a hollowed-out deck design
You can admire the Kuju Gorge and cliff scenery below, extremely spectacular!
✨Mount Aso
(Check the Aso Volcano Information Center before departure to avoid disappointment)
If you want to take a helicopter ride, you need to arrive very early at the volcano
✨Horse riding at Kusasenri 🐎
Along the way, you’ll pass Matcha Mountain 🍵 and cattle grazing mountains 🐂🐃🐄
✨Abe Farm Shop ASO MILK FACTORY 🥛🍼🍰
✨Return to the city center for sukiyaki dinner
Because on Day 4 we only got back to the city center at 7 pm, missed the car return time 😂
So we postponed the car return by one day

🍀Day 5

✨Any yatai stall is delicious 😋
🏠Hakata Blossom Hakata Premier
There are two popular restaurants downstairs from the hotel, tried the desserts 👍🏻

🍀Day 6
✨Last-minute shopping sprint, then headed to the airport
It takes less than half an hour from Fukuoka city center to the airport, super convenient 😂
