This tour cost the two of us $180 and we had a nice guide who took photos of us, took us to a neat restaurant, and drove us back to the cruise ship port. Additionally we paid separately for taxi fare to the springs, entrance tickets, and our lunch. There was no commentary about the history and geography of the hot springs. For $150 less we could have walked around on our own and taken our own photos.
Great way to see the hot springs of Beppu!

We travelled with our family to Beppu & our guide Shin was great in taking us around the hot springs of Beppu with interesting facts & knowledge of the area. We then had a delicious meal based on Shin’s recommendation. A definite must while visiting Beppu, we cannot recommend him enough!
Wonderful, personalized experience in Beppu and Oita!

Thank you Shin-san for such a wonderful private tour in Beppu and Oita! Shin went out of his way to personalize the tour, making my journey in this part of Japan special. We started with the "Hells" of Beppu, and he shared his detailed knowledge of the hot springs and their cultural significance in a captivating manner. He made sure to learn my interests and take me "off the beaten path" to help me discover parts of Beppu and Oita that I never would have found on my own. At one stop on the tour I even caught a glimpse of how he approaches teaching music, and I can say with confidence that if you decide to take his guitar or hand pan instruction you will find that he is a capable and understanding teacher who will personalize your lessons. Indeed, both as a tour guide and as a music instructor, Shin-san will meet you where you are in your journey.

The cozy tour of Beppu was easygoing and fantastic. Our guide, Shin, was friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and patient. We were able to stroll around the city, experience some of the Hells, have a traditional lunch, and enjoy a private onsen. Great cozy, relaxing tour!
