Diventa un Locale! Un tour a piedi di arti, mestieri e cultura Onsen
Descrizione
Hai voglia di evitare i luoghi turistici affollati e di esplorare aree più "locali" che probabilmente non troveresti in una brochure di viaggio? In questo esclusivo tour a piedi per piccoli gruppi, ti immergerai nella storia e nella cultura passeggiando per le strade del centro* di Beppu. Vivi il lavoro e la vita quotidiana degli artisti locali che vivono qui, visita una fabbrica artigianale di bambù** e goditi una rara opportunità di incontrare abili artigiani faccia a faccia. Il tour culmina con una visita a una casa giapponese secolare comprendente una galleria d'arte contemporanea e un negozio di souvenir. La casa dispone anche di una sala di storia che mostra fotografie storiche del passato di Beppu. * Si prega di essere consapevoli che: a) questo tour NON copre luoghi turistici popolari (come gli "Inferi"), ma mette in mostra le strade e i vicoli culturali meno noti della città, e b) non verrà mostrato all'interno di un edificio onsen **Si prega di notare che a causa della possibilità di attività commerciali di variare gli orari di apertura, il percorso e i luoghi visitati possono essere soggetti a modifiche.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Assisti in prima persona a un mercato locale che vende pesce e verdure freschi e goditi la rara opportunità di interagire con i residenti giapponesi locali.
Sin dalla sua fondazione nel 1908, potrai osservare i prodotti di bambù meticolosamente realizzati da abili artigiani, utilizzando bambù locale della prefettura di Oita. Oltre a vedere gli artigiani al lavoro, potrai anche acquistare prodotti in bambù: souvenir unici e ideali da portare a casa con te!
Si tratta di un workshop irregolare e fuori programma. Possiamo offrire questa esperienza solo quando l'istruttore ha disponibilità.
Beppu è senza dubbio un paradiso per le arti e i mestieri e gli amanti dell'arte coglieranno l'occasione di incontrare i residenti del Kiyoshima Apartment, una residenza per creatori e uno studio d'arte nel centro di Beppu. Oltre a vedere una varietà di opere esposte, potresti anche essere in grado di osservare gli artisti al lavoro sui loro vari progetti.
Uno spazio e un negozio eccentrico all'interno di una casa Giapponese secolare ristrutturata, c'è qualcosa per tutti allo Space Beppu. Dotato di una sala di storia contenente vecchie fotografie di Beppu nel passato, nonché di una piccola galleria d'arte che espone ulteriori pezzi dei residenti del Kiyoshima Apartment, sarete in grado di rilassarvi e distendervi in una casa affascinante dove il vecchio e il moderno si incontrano in armonia.

This was a great experience. Very informative and enthusiastic guide! Thank you for the great tour. I was able to speak to a local artist, a local performer and a local artisan. It was fascinating to learn about Beppu’s growing art scene. Very authentic and honest details about the city and culture. I recommend this tour!
Audrey was a fantastic guide! She knew the ins and outs of Beppu, showing us places that the typical tourist wouldn't see. For example, we went to a 100 year old bamboo factory where the work was all done by hand, as it had been hundreds of years ago. We learned about the population in Beppu and the culture there. Audrey was very flexible as to how much time we spent in each place and listened to what we wanted to do. I highly recommend her for this tour.
Dear Jan and Marcus, Thank you very much for joining our tour! It was a true pleasure meeting you both. :) I’m so happy to hear you had a great time with us. Wishing you a safe and wonderful continuation of your journey. And you are always welcome back to Beppu anytime! Audreay
Fantastic experience! Friendly enthusiastic guide, thorough interesting details on areas we walked, toured a bamboo craft factory, and at the end supported at their maker shop. Highly recommended! Much love for Space Beppu crew. Thanks for a great time.
This tour was off the beaten path. We were able to visit the last working bamboo factory in Beppu. We also learned about the onsen culture and visited an artist workspace. Lily was our tour guide and we really appreciated her pacing and communication style. We highly recommend this tour.
Wow!!! That was great!!! Very great!! Thank you very much!:) Authentic Japan. Not where "everyone" is, but to the "locals." I like Japan, crafts/art and photography, so it was perfect. Absolute recommendation!! 😍😎🙏
It was a really interesting look into lesser-seen parts of Beppu that really enriched my time in Beppu! Each stop was a unique and interesting experience and although one of the normal tour stops was not available, the replacement was even more suitable for me. It was just me and the tour guide, so I was able to ask lots of questions and have good conversation with the guide. They even returned my wallet to me at their recommended lunch spot after I took off without it.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring the lesser-known parts of Beppu and that each stop felt unique. It’s wonderful to hear that the one-on-one time with the guide made the tour even more special, and we’re glad your wallet was safely returned! We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in Beppu!
Wonderful private walking tour in Beppu. Highlight was visiting a locals house and playing the harp with her. She served tea and we also had an origami lesson. This tour was very art focused.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the walking tour, especially the harp session. It’s great to hear the art-focused experience made your visit memorable. We hope to welcome you again in Beppu!
Fascinating walk through back streets of Beppu and the bamboo factory is not too be missed. Very knowledgeable tour guide Lou.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Beppu’s back streets and the bamboo factory. Loi will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We hope to see you again for more unique experiences!
Disappointing tour did not get a view of onsens an important aspect of the town. The art scene is a shack uninhabited aside from 2 artists and a student gathering house.
Dear Wendy, Thank you for your honest review. We are sorry to hear how unsatisfied you were with our walking tour. Having spoken at length with your tour guide, it seems that you were made aware that it would not be possible to enter an onsen. However, upon reflection I do admit that the name of the tour - 'A Walking Tour of Beppu's Arts, Crafts & Onsen' - is indeed misleading, and it will duly be changed. The focus of this tour is not the highlights of Beppu, but rather the city's lesser-known, non-touristic 'downtown' area - a chance to step into the culture and daily lives of the locals who live and work there. The artists' house you were shown is very typical of such Japanese 'downtown' streetscapes, and we are sincerely sorry that it did not impress you.
Hana-san, our guide was so fun. She showed us so many interesting places. I loved the koto lesson. Seeing the beppu project was fascinating. Space beppu has many experiences. We also loved the summer fun with flowing noodles. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy.
Thank you for joining the walking tour and enjoying the flowing noodles! We are so glad to hear you loved the whole experience—the koto lesson, exploring the Beppu Project, and Space Beppu. It was a pleasure guiding you all, and we wish these memories stay with you for a long time. Looking forward to seeing you again! Hana
