Yufuin & Beppu Day Trip by Private Car Details
Plan the route around your group, timing, preferred stops, and vehicle.
Yufuin and Beppu are reachable from Fukuoka in a day, but the drive across the Oita mountains runs roughly two to two and a half hours in each direction, so the day is mostly a question of pacing. Fitting in Kinrin Lake, the Yunotsubo street, lunch, and the Beppu hells usually means choosing two of them to linger over rather than all four. A private car keeps the schedule flexible when mountain weather or midday crowds change the picture.
Route character
Long mountain drive
Roughly two to two and a half hours each way across the Oita highlands, with the sightseeing concentrated in the middle of the day.
Timing watch
Yufuin fills up midday
The Yunotsubo street is busiest around lunchtime, and winter snow or fog on the mountain roads lengthens the drive.
Booking note
Private baths need reserving
Kashikiri private onsen baths are booked ahead, so tell us early if you want one included in the day.
Before You Book
- Choose whether Yufuin or Beppu gets the longer stop, since the driving time leaves room to linger properly in one of them.
- In winter, allow extra time for snow or fog on the mountain roads and expect the return leg to run later.
- If you are continuing to an onsen ryokan afterwards, tell us about luggage and the drop-off point so the route can end there instead of in Fukuoka.
