I came to Beppu with a friend for a one day trip and visited Wander compass. As I had already been here for the famous Jigoku, Onsen and steamed food (that i recommend), we decided to rent the shop bicycles and opted for a ride along the beach, after visiting the local park to see the Plum trees and bamboo. We finished the day with a more local experience in the oldest onsen for Ashiyu and Sand bath! (Try the mud or sand bath while in town). We had a great time spending the day with the staff member (Chika). They will guide you through all the common and less common spots and activities in town depending on what you’re looking for! The shop is located at the station so i recommend you to pay a visit if you are in town :)

We went during a very quiet period, parked at the pottery museum and walked down, it is very special, pottery made in the area dating back to 1700's (I think) I enjoyed the video in the museum, although there is no translation so guesswork if you don't know Japanese, ancient way of attaining clay powder still in use. Peaceful Working kilns, didn't see anyone sculpting but pots etc drying and being sanded Lovely to browse and admire the pieces for purchase but not be monitored as people are elsewhere going about their work. Brought two small pieces

You may have read the forgoing reviews and think well Mount Yufu is an easy climb. Well, yes and no. My husband and I decided to make the attempt with nominal training. We took approximately 4 hours to go up and down. I made it to the cradle whilst he made it to the top of the east peak which is purportedly easier. What made it more difficult was that for most of the climb, the path was littered with loose rocks and stones. If you do not have the appropriate hiking shoes, your feet and ankles would be in for a battering and you constantly have to watch you balance as the rocks can easily slide or give way. For me the descent was extra challenging because it was punishing on the knees as well. Having said that the path to the summit was well- trodden and clearly marked. The numerous switchbacks made for a gentler slope. We also noticed many elderly folk armed with hiking poles making the ascent and descent, as well as parents with young kids doing the climb. That of course galvanized us to make it to the top! The views were worth it!
