Traversing the Kokonoe Yume Grand Suspension Bridge in western Oita Prefecture is like walking across the sky.

Japan’s longest and loftiest pedestrian bridge, it presents panoramic scenes of Oita’s verdant countryside, including two waterfalls, the Naruko River and the valley 173 meters below.

Yunotsubo Kaido - At 16:00 PM
: Take a walk in the shopping district. Purchased items are at your own expense.

Yunotsubo Kaido Street runs through the center of the popular hot spring town of Yufuin, leading from Yufuin Station to Lake Kinrinko.
It takes about 20 minutes to cover the distance without lingering, but there are enough interesting shops, cafes and galleries to merit an hour or two of strolling.

The buildings lining the street are low-rise, and mostly traditional in appearance.

Mt. Yufu rises above the street, adding to the picturesque setting.
It is a nice place to wander and sample some local delicacies, coupled with a walk around the lake and a relaxing soak in one of the area’s many hot springs.

Additional Information

Other than big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, there are good old Japanese people.

The tour we propose this time will take you to areas with low population density and let you know the culture and customs of the Japanese people.

  • For that purpose, we have set one day for you to move freely in each city.

Japan is an island in the Far East surrounded by the sea on all sides, but there are also various islands scattered throughout Japan.

We think that the island tour while feeling the fresh and safe air is suitable for the present era.

We would be glad if you could take the stress of movement restrictions during the pandemic with this tour!

Of the 8 days of this tour, 3 days each in major cities in Shikoku are free plans throughout the day.
