Visit Frog Shrine for safe travel prayers, admire serene Mount Yufu, wander Yufuin's hot spring streets, and explore Beppu's "Hells"—every step shows Kyushu's unique allure.
Frog Shrine: A Millennium Haven of Blessings
Also called "Frog Temple" (Renrinji), this shrine dates to 729 (Nara Period). Famed for numerous frog statues in different poses, it’s a top spot for travelers praying for "safe return." The temple exudes tranquility, with winding stone steps through lush woods and adorable frog statues—each carrying a special blessing, perfect for travel photos.
Don’t miss the Wind Chime Festival (June 1–Sept 30). A thousand hand-painted wind chimes tinkle gently, mixing with frog croaks in the garden to form a calm summer tune, adding romance to your blessing journey.
Yufuin: A Poetic Town in Mountains and Sea
Yufuin blends Ghibli magic and English countryside elegance. Cobblestone streets wind through the town, lined with ivy-covered farmhouses, art cafes and cute shops. Sweet smells of dessert shops, craft of handcraft stores, and unique trinkets make you slow down. Yufuin’s signature Kinrin Milk Pudding is a must-buy souvenir.
Kinrin Lake at Mount Yufu’s foot is a hidden natural gem, a 10-minute walk away. With sparkling waters, lush forests and clear mountain reflections, it’s ideal for experiencing nature’s peace and taking great photos.
Warm Tip: Mount Yufu’s trailhead closes Dec 10–Mar 10. To help you fully enjoy the town, Yufuin’s visit time is extended 30 minutes, letting you explore hidden alleys and savor the hot spring town’s romance.

Stunning Geothermal Views: Top among Beppu’s Eight Hells, "Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell)" amazes with gem-blue waters, while "Kama Jigoku (Kitchen Hell)" is vibrant—red and green springs gush with white steam, porous rocks in mist, like stepping into a Ghibli fantasy.
