Local Tips
Yunohira-kaido is quieter than central Yufuin Floral Village. Walk uphill from Yufuin Station in the morning before tourist buses arrive. The small galleries and pottery shops here are genuine artisan spaces. Several offer hands-on ceramics workshops by appointment.

Beppu Jigoku (Hell) Tour
Eight 'hells' of boiling springs in otherworldly colors: blood red, cobalt blue, milk white. The Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) is strangely beautiful — and you can eat eggs boiled in its steam.
Harajiri Falls
Japan's widest waterfall — a 120m curtain of water dropping 20m over hexagonal basalt columns shaped by ancient Aso volcanic flows. Called "East Asia's Niagara," it's most spectacular after heavy rain when the entire rock face disappears under white water.
Kokonoe "Yume" Grand Suspension Bridge
Japan's highest pedestrian suspension bridge hangs 173m above a forested river gorge. Walk the 390m span as the canyon drops away beneath you. In autumn, the gorge becomes a blazing sea of red and orange maples — visible from both ends of the bridge.
