5.00This 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.
Unforgettable, authentic moments: THANK YOU!! 🙏🙏🙏

5.00It 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.
Wonderful private walking tour of Beppu.

5.00Wonderful 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.

1.00Disappointing 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.

5.00Loi is a knowledgeable guide and provided a very interesting morning. We saw the back streets of Beppu with hidden treasures that we would have never seen or understood without Loi. The bamboo factory was truly amazing! Great sense of humour and an easy pace.
Highly Recommended Walking Tour!

5.00Beppu is a fascinating city with a fascinating history. This tour helped me understand the history--as well as the revitalization efforts fashioning Beppu into a place of art and culture. Beppu is so much more than onsen, rope bridges, and monkeys; it’s a place where artists from all over Japan (and even the world) are coming to challenge cultural norms, preserve traditions, and create beauty in this lovely coastal town. I would not have seen any of this if not for this walking tour. My incredibly educated and gracious guide, Loi, took me all around Beppu–both to the places abandoned when the port moved north and to the places where traditions are preserved (like the Bamboo factory) and where avant-garde art is in full swing. Along the way, I met some incredibly kind and generous people I will not soon forget. I highly recommend this tour! You won’t regret it.
