Fancy avoiding crowded touristic hotspots and exploring more 'local' areas you likely wouldn't find in a travel brochure? In this exclusive, small-group walking tour, you'll immerse yourself in history and culture whilst strolling through the streets of downtown Beppu.
Experience the work and daily lives of the local artists who live here, visit a bamboo craft factory* and enjoy a rare chance to meet skilled artisans face to face.
You’ll also visit a local 'onsen' (hot spring), whose spa waters you can even taste for yourself.
