Le temple Nyoirinji, connu sous le nom de « temple de la Grenouille », est un site fascinant rempli de plus de 10 000 statues de grenouilles, symbolisant la chance, la prospérité et la sécurité des voyages. Les visiteurs de tout le Japon viennent voir les différentes décorations sur le thème de la grenouille, chacune avec des expressions et des significations uniques. Le cadre paisible du temple en fait un lieu de réflexion merveilleux. Du 1er juin au 30 septembre, des milliers de carillons de vent colorés décorent le terrain, porteurs de souhaits écrits pour un été sain et en toute sécurité. Alors que le vent souffle, les bandes de papier attachées aux carillons flottent avec grâce, créant un spectacle rêveur et enchanteur. La combinaison de couleurs vives, de sons doux et de la verdure luxuriante du terrain du temple en fait une expérience vraiment magique. Que ce soit pour des raisons spirituelles, d'appréciation culturelle ou simplement pour admirer le charme fantaisiste des statues de grenouilles, le temple Nyoirinji est une destination incontournable qui capture la beauté et la singularité des traditions japonaises.
Le mont Yufu Trailhead est la porte d'entrée de l'une des montagnes les plus pittoresques de Kyushu, souvent comparée à un pudding matcha géant en raison de ses pentes lisses et vertes. À 1583 mètres d'altitude, le mont Yufu est une destination de randonnée populaire, offrant une vue panoramique à couper le souffle. Même pour ceux qui ne font pas de randonnée jusqu'au sommet, la terrasse d'observation de Sakiridai offre une vue imprenable. De là, les routes serpentant dans le paysage luxuriant ressemblent à des rivières de matcha qui coulent dans la vallée, créant une scène surréaliste et pittoresque. Les saisons changeantes ajoutent à sa beauté : le printemps apporte une verdure vibrante, l’automne peint le paysage dans des tons de rouge et d’or, et l’hiver recouvre les sommets de neige. La présence majestueuse du mont Yufu domine l’horizon, ce qui en fait un lieu de prédilection pour les photographes et les amoureux de la nature. Que ce soit en admirant la montagne de loin ou sur ses sentiers, le voyage vers le mont Yufu offre une évasion rafraîchissante dans la nature.
Dazaifu Tenmangū est un célèbre sanctuaire shinto situé à Dazaifu, dans la préfecture de Fukuoka, au Japon. Il est dédié à Sugawara no Michizane, un érudit, poète et homme politique de l'époque de Heian qui est vénéré comme le dieu de l'apprentissage et de l'érudition. Fondé en 905 après J.-C., le sanctuaire est l'un des sanctuaires Tenmangū les plus importants du pays et attire des millions de visiteurs chaque année, en particulier des étudiants priant pour la réussite scolaire. Le parc serein présente de magnifiques pruniers – les préférés de Michizane – ainsi qu’une architecture traditionnelle, un étang sacré et un pont en arc rouge. Dazaifu Tenmangū est non seulement une destination spirituelle, mais aussi un repère culturel et historique qui reflète le profond respect du Japon pour la connaissance et la tradition.
C'est une ville pittoresque qui mélange le charme fantaisiste du Studio Ghibli avec l'élégance de la campagne britannique. Les stations thermales les plus célèbres de Kyushu, connues pour leur atmosphère relaxante et leur environnement pittoresque. Les rues paisibles de la ville sont bordées de boutiques charmantes, d'auberges traditionnelles ryokan et de cafés confortables, ce qui en fait un endroit agréable à explorer. Le lac Kinrin, l’un des endroits les plus célèbres de Yufuin, est particulièrement étonnant au petit matin lorsque la brume s’élève de ses eaux chaudes, créant une scène mystique. Tangzhiping Street est un quartier commerçant animé proposant de l'artisanat artisanal unique, des bonbons locaux et des produits de spécialité. Yufuin abrite une variété de bains en plein air, permettant aux visiteurs de se détendre tout en étant entouré d'une nature à couper le souffle. Que ce soit pour se tremper dans un onsen chaleureux, se promener dans les rues pittoresques ou se livrer à une délicieuse cuisine locale, le charme rustique et l'ambiance sereine de Yufuin en font une destination où les visiteurs peuvent vraiment se détendre et s'immerger dans la culture japonaise.
Umi Jigoku, ou « Enfer de la mer », est l’une des sources chaudes les plus célèbres de Beppu, connue pour sa couleur bleu cobalt saisissante. La piscine, chauffée par l'activité géothermique, atteint des températures d'environ 98°C, ce qui en fait un spectacle à couper le souffle plutôt qu'un lieu de baignade. La teinte bleu profond provient du sulfate de fer, ce qui lui donne un aspect presque étranger. La montée de la vapeur ajoute à l'atmosphère mystérieuse, surtout par temps frais. Les visiteurs peuvent se promener dans des jardins magnifiquement paysagers avec des fleurs de saison et profiter d'un bain de pied gratuit avec de l'eau chaude de source. Le site comprend également une petite boutique de collations et de souvenirs de sources chaudes vapeur. Le contraste entre la beauté sereine des jardins et l'intense activité géothermique fait d'Umi Jigoku une attraction incontournable, offrant un regard fascinant sur les merveilles volcaniques de Beppu et la culture des sources chaudes du Japon.

The tour was great. The tour guide was really nice and informative. We only got to do 3 of the 5 things on the tour, but the 3 things we did was truly amazing. I am not sure how all 5 things could fit into that tour.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the guide friendly and informative. Regarding the itinerary, all planned stops are scheduled based on standard travel conditions. However, due to factors such as traffic, weather, or on-site conditions, some attractions may occasionally need to be adjusted to ensure the overall experience remains smooth and safe. We truly appreciate your understanding in this regard. We’re glad that the places you visited left a great impression, and we hope to welcome you again on another memorable journey in Japan!
The tour was disorganized. The guide was difficult to understand. She wouldn’t at first help us find the bus, assigned seats were confusing and taken by others. The sites and time allotted for each were great. Bus driver was very safe and drove well. Then insult to injury the guide hassled everyone to write a review.

We’re glad to hear that despite the adjustment, you still had a pleasant experience and enjoyed your day with Emy. Your comments are valuable to us, and we’ll use them to further improve our service and communication.
Nyoirinji Temple was amazing. Yufuin is great for childlike fun and Beppu Hells was hot, humid and smelled like eggs. Overall it was a good tour, well paced and easy to travel. Kevin our tour guide was fun and energetic. I enjoyed hearing his take on things, some guides have great stories due to their diverse global backgrounds. Our tour was in August which made the geothermal pools even more intense, it was sweaty and crowded in some spots. The 10 hours went by very fast, it’s definitely worth the price.

It’s wonderful to know that Kevin’s energy and storytelling added to the journey and made the day even more memorable. We appreciate your feedback on the August visit, as the summer heat certainly makes the geothermal pools feel more intense. We’re glad to hear that despite the crowds, you found the tour enjoyable and worth the price. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon.
Really enjoyed this tour. You don't spend a lot of time at each location however felt saw a lot. If you eat a tour where you go one place this isn't it. We went to 2 Beppu hello. The frog shrine. Spent quite a bit of time in Yufuin and ate lunch on our own. We had a quick stop to see the mountains. Overall it was a great tour and we loved it. The tour guide was great. She did an excellent job of handling a larger group of english japanese and chinese. I had fallen the day before and hurt my foot and she helped look out for me. Overall loved the tour. A little confusing to find the right tournat the start point so know your tour company flag read the instructions and you'll be fine.

The guide Riku was great, very friendly and informative. We covered 4 areas, and very little time to sight see at each location; it felt very rushed. If we had stuck with the advertised 3 locations (Nyoirinji, Beppu and Yufuin) and not added in Komado Shrine, we would have had more time to enjoy the original 3 sites.
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Nyoirinji Temple, Beppu Hells, and Yufuin Day Tour from Fukuoka. We’re glad to hear that Riku was friendly and informative, but we’re truly sorry to hear that the tour felt rushed. We understand how important it is to have enough time at each site to fully enjoy the experience. Your suggestion regarding the addition of Komado Shrine is very much appreciated, and we will take it into consideration as we review the balance of time at each location for future tours. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more relaxed and enjoyable experience next time.
We booked this tour through Klook. We had a negative experience with our tour guide, Kevin Y, which was the main issue—not the itinerary or the bus driver. I paid a higher price for an English-speaking guide for my adult children, who only understand English, but Kevin barely spoke it. When he did speak, it was in one or two short sentences, and his English was very poor. We felt misled into paying more for what was essentially a 99% Chinese tour. Kevin also provided minimal information about the culture or highlights of the places we visited. After posting our review on Klook, Kevin messaged me in Chinese, blaming us for being late, even though the 8 minutes delay was due to his unfamiliarity with the train station exits and his failure to guide us to the correct exit when we got lost. His rude and disrespectful messages, including "This is Japan, not your home country," were unacceptable and very offensive. We were humiliated throughout the trip for being late. When returning to the bus from the second stop, Kevin and his companion mocked us in Japanese, assuming we didn’t understand—though my daughter, having lived in Japan for several years, is fluent in Japanese. We contacted Klook, but as a third-party platform, they could only provide the contact information for the local tour company. When we filed a complaint, we discovered that the "local tour company" used a China-based individual email address, with no company name listed on Klook's tour description page. It’s been almost a week, and we have received no response from them.
This was an amazing experience from the start. Even before the tour, our tour guide Jimmy reached out to us via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting point and the time. We had some questions, which he answered promptly and professionally. With each stop, he gave us recommendations and pointers on how to make the best of each stop, especially the short ones. The highlight for my husband and I was Yunotsubo Street. On the drive there, the view itself is outstanding so make sure to stay awake after Beppu! My goodness! So many shops and so much food, cheap too! We were given about three hours, which wasn't enough time. However, I'm glad we had a limit because we definitely would have blown through our budget for the day there. I highly recommend this excursion!
