Yufu River Valley

Take an exciting ride on Japan’s first wooden roller coaster and other traditional fairground rides at a theme park set in the foothills of Mount Tsurumi.

Ever-changing terrain and a wide spectrum of color unfold beneath you, as this aerial lift takes you to a leafy mountain peak.

Nature trails meander between a variety of bright pink native plants that decorate the undulating terrain on the way to the volcano summit.

Hike through the bamboo forest, marvel at the lanterns and enjoy a picnic beneath a cherry blossom tree in this hilly park in central Beppu.

An elegant façade and gabled roof welcome you to a relaxing haven, where you can soak in a thermal tub and be covered in heated sand.

The third-oldest tower in Japan glows in bright colors at night, while its viewing platform offers unobstructed vistas of mountains and sea.
