    This trip to Beppu Hell is really worth a trip. Self-drive tours are more convenient, all attractions have free parking spaces, very convenient! It took us almost 4 hours to visit 7 attractions, each with its own characteristics!

    At Kamado Jigoku, you can enjoy looking at the blue and red hot springs. (You can't get in because it's high-pitched.) The attendant will show you how the color changes and smoke comes out depending on the conditions. It was very interesting because you can't experience anything like that at other spots on the hell tour! I personally recommend Kamado Jigoku because there are also spots where you can enjoy things like foot baths and puddings on the spot!

    Take a bus from Beppu Station to the Cable Car Kogen Station, a journey of about half an hour. The first cable car runs at 9:00 AM, so it's recommended to arrive at the Cable Car Kogen Station by 8:50 AM. By then, you'll be able to line up for the cable car, and the first ride will be less crowded. The views from the mountain are stunning, offering panoramic views of Beppu city and the Yufuin area. We recommend allowing about an hour and a half to enjoy the scenery.

    This 90-meter-tall tourist tower is known as one of the "Six Tower Brothers" alongside Nagoya TV Tower and Tsutenkaku. It will reopen in January 2023, with the observation deck expanded to two floors, offering a wider view of Beppu city and Beppu Bay. The night view is particularly beautiful, and you can enjoy a romantic atmosphere. However, some visitors have complained that some of the windows are dirty, so it's a good idea to take this into consideration when visiting.
