Travelers will experience the beauty of Beppu from above with a ride on the Kintetsu Beppu Ropeway, an aerial lift that connects Beppu City to the slopes of Mount Tsurumi. As the cable car ascends, enjoy panoramic views of Beppu Bay, the city’s hot spring steam rising below, and the surrounding mountains that change colors with each season—cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn leaves, and snow in winter. At the summit, you can stroll through scenic walking paths and capture breathtaking photos of Kyushu’s landscape. In case the Beppu Ropeway is not operating due to weather or maintenance, the tour will visit Umi Jigoku instead, one of Beppu’s famous “hells,” where you can see striking blue hot spring pools and learn about the region’s geothermal wonders (admission not included: Adults ¥500, Children ¥250).

Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fukuoka.
How much does Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fukuoka usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fukuoka is not rushed.
Is Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Fukuoka, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fukuoka can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fukuoka and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kyushu Day Tour: Yufuin, Dazaifu & Beppu from Fukuoka start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fukuoka within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fukuoka?
+
On Outty we rank every Fukuoka experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day trip from central Fukuoka.Rental cycle in Shikanoshima island, Fukuoka Private Tour with a Local: Highlights & Hidden Gems, In Fukuoka! Guide to an izakaya only 100% locals know/Bar Hopping. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fukuoka?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fukuoka?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
