[JAPAN] FUKUOKA: YUFUIN & BEPPU ONEDAY TRIP

So many small cities around in Fukuoka but i put this as #1 MUST VISIT CITY WHILE VISITING FUKUOKA. I firstly found this on insta but i went there and saw my own even more beautiful than picture. It super small yet tidy and super clean, totally looked like in a picture. This city is famous with onsen or hot spring, so many people comes here and stay about 2-3 days for enjoying the nature. BUT BUT here my post is for NO TIME & SUPER BUDGET traveller HAHA so no onsen, tatami sleep, and hotel special japanese set dinner. Ok so lets get started!

YUFUIN & BEPPU IN ONE DAY

Firstly,

TAKE BUS FROM HAKATA ST. FUKUOKA TO YUFUIN.

From 3rd floor of bus station gate 34. Many people suggests me to book first but please all website in japanese so i fed up and i recommended you guys to JUST BUY DIRECTLY IN THE BUS STATION FEW DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE ( like me i bought 2 days before) and it takes around 2 hours until you arrive at Yufuin station.

Second,

ENJOYING BEAUTIFUL STREET & KIRINKO LAKE

From bus station to Kirinko lake takes around 30 minutes walk (1.5km) but it never feel far because you can enjoy cute shops along the street.

Third,

ENJOY YUFUIN SNACKS & CAFE

Not only shops, streets also filled by cafe and DESSERTSS, so yeah be diabetic HAAH i tried fresh grape fruit (¥500), ooeyy gooey melted cheese cake in a cup (¥160) and famous cremia GREENTEA SERIES icecream (¥450).

Fourth,

CATCH THE BUS TO BEPPU

you can see timetable below and adjust your schedule. I only spent like 3 hours in Yufuin and thought that more than enough. So i took 12.50 YUFURIN BUS to beppu. And if you see there are 2 bus here, Yufurin and Regular west beppu st. Actually these only have different stops. I chose YUFURIN because i gonna go to Umijigoku.

Fifth,

ENJOYING BEPPU'S HELLS

after 1.5 hours i arrived right in front of UMI (sea) JIGOKU (hell). If you dont know, Beppu is super known as THE CAPITAL OF HOTSPRING IN JAPAN so this city full of vulcanic natural water and also famous with their HELL? Or super hot water pond thats why it called hell? HAHA actually has 7 hells in total but for you who doesnt have lots of time i suggest you thos UMIJIGOKU (entrance fee ¥400) as it is the prettiest among all.

Sixth,

FREE FOOT SPA

you can also enjoy free foot hot spa, can we called hotspa? HAHA but i doubt it must be super crowded on winter because cold meets hot must be super fantastic not like me, summer time and foot dippon super sweating....

Seventh,

HOT SPRING STEAM LUNCH!

they also sell food made by hot spring steam and suprisingly good. Recommended: Egg pudding (¥300), eggs (5 for ¥300), and dumplings (¥600).

After that you can catch the bus back to Fukuoka. From umijigoku take local bus to Kitakama bus station and for your info NO BUS STATION at all. You can wait right infrontof Starbucks- Tokiwa mall beppu and the bus back to Fukuoka will depart from there. And here Tokiwa mall address.

Japan, 〒874-8558 Ōita-ken, Beppu-shi, Kitahama, 2 Chome−2−9−1

[JAPAN] FUKUOKA: MARINOA CITY

Ive been to some Japan factory outlets but this one in Fukuoka super blew my mind. Ocean facing factory outlet with blue sky is super stunning. But here dont expect all branded stuffs but more into local brands. I enjoyed so much since i found Japanese local brand has same style with korea.

MARINOA CITY

HOW TO GO

Take bus. 303 from infrontof Hakata Station. Stop at Marinoa city.

2 Chome-１３ Odo, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka-ken 819-0001, Japan

OPEN HOURS

10AM~09PM

If you want a luxury bar and dining, you can try THE BLUE in the end of entrance way of Mariona City. Super beautiful white clean building HAHA looked super expensive, you can have dinner starts from ¥5.000/person.

Outlet inside area also so "american style" with fews coconut tree and giant starbucks in the middle area of the outlet. Everything in the store looks so pretty I WANNA BUY EVERYTHINGGGGGG!!!!

and again i played claw machine HAHAHAA but this time with only ¥200 i got shibainu dog doll!! Super cute hihihihi luck was on my side.

**MUST DO POINT**

Riding a ferriswheel is the main visit point for me SUPER BEAUTIFUL. I suggest you riding it 5 minutes before sunser because before we rode it 15 minutes before total sunset and just too early :( because 1 cycle only takes 12 minutes

TICKET PRICE: ¥500

Overall, here you can feel like you run away from the city crowds. Just enjoy palms and ferriswheel with a creamy japanese pancake ♡
