Beppu Shore Excursion: Custom Car Tour, Licensed Guide

About this activity

This private tour is designed for cruise passengers arriving in Beppu, Japan's greatest hot-spring city. Your government-licensed English-speaking guide and private vehicle meet you right at Beppu Port (or a nearby hotel) and take you straight to the highlights, with no time wasted on logistics.

Over 6 fully customizable hours you choose 2-3 destinations and your guide tailors the day to you. Marvel at the cobalt-blue Sea Hell and the steaming crimson Blood Pond Hell, meet the wild monkeys of Takasakiyama, explore the yunohana steam huts of Myoban Onsen, or cook your own lunch with natural geothermal steam at a jigoku-mushi workshop. Prefer something gentler? Add the stylish hot-spring town of Yufuin.

With your own private vehicle the pace is entirely yours - ideal for families, seniors, and small groups wanting comfort and a friendly local expert. You'll return to your ship relaxed and on time, having seen the very best of Beppu in one seamless day.
