I went right after the route opened for the season. The trip was pretty relaxing, but there were just too many tourists. The shuttle transportation couldn't really handle the crowds, so we spent most of the time waiting. There also weren't many seats to rest because of the limited space. For older folks, this trip can be pretty exhausting.

Feels just like being on a mini cruise! The facilities are comfy and clean, so you can relax and watch the sea. You arrive in Beppu the next morning—such a chill way to travel!

I recommend the okonomiyaki place here—the flavor is super authentic and you don't have to wait long.

The surroundings are peaceful, and the scenery changes beautifully with each season. It's especially stunning during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons.
