Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from Beppu Station, Beppu International Tourism Port, or your accommodation. Make a brief stop at Sagiridai Observatory, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Yufuin townscape.
Proceed to Chojabaru Plateau in Kokonoe Town, Oita Prefecture. At Chojabaru, receive a lesson in Nordic walking before taking a guided walk through the Tadewara Marshland, a Ramsar Convention–designated wetland since 2005 and an important habitat for migratory waterbirds. Enjoy the refreshing experience of “forest swimming” as you explore the area.
Lunch will be served at the farmhouse-style restaurant Bebenko, where you can savour a Premium Oita Wagyu Beef Steak Set Meal. (Menu changes are available upon request.) After lunch, visit the Kokonoe “Yume” Otsurihashi, a pedestrian-only suspension bridge renowned as the tallest in Japan, where you can enjoy an exhilarating skywalk and spectacular scenery.
Following this, you will be dropped off at Yufuin Station and have approximately two hours of free time to explore at your leisure. At the meeting spot, Yume Hiroba, you can also experience the unique sensation of a “doctor fish” foot bath. Afterwards, be escorted back to Beppu Station or your accommodation.
