Immersing ourselves in Kannawa, inside and out

A fantastic way to learn about Beppu and explore the Kannawa area! Our guide, Loi, started us at Beppu Station and gave a bit of history on Beppu as a city and how onsen tourism in Japan really started here. And from there, the historical facts kept coming as we made our way to and through Kannawa. We were lucky to be there on a rainy weekday, as the area wasn’t crowded and the rain made the steam thicker. Our visit included 2 of the Hells of Beppu, and Loi gave us the insider tip about which one to start at to avoid the crowds. For lunch we had the iconic jigoku-mushi, hell-steamed local produce, chicken and seafood. The flavours of the local veggies really shine through and knowing the whole thing was cooked using natural geothermal steam was so cool. The ultimate sustainable meal! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. A great way to gain local insights and see some iconic sites as well as a couple of hidden gems.
Wonderful.

Went on the tour with my friends while visiting Beppu. As both of us are interested in learning more about the history of Beppu, we had come across this lovely day trip on the web. The tour guide (his name is Loi) was lovely and FUNNY!!! We learned alot of interesting facts and knowledges about Beppu from him~ Totally worth it for what we paid for.
Fantastic Tour!
