Travelers will experience the beauty of Beppu from above with a ride on the Kintetsu Beppu Ropeway, an aerial lift that connects Beppu City to the slopes of Mount Tsurumi. As the cable car ascends, enjoy panoramic views of Beppu Bay, the city’s hot spring steam rising below, and the surrounding mountains that change colors with each season—cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn leaves, and snow in winter. At the summit, you can stroll through scenic walking paths and capture breathtaking photos of Kyushu’s landscape. In case the Beppu Ropeway is not operating due to weather or maintenance, the tour will visit Umi Jigoku instead, one of Beppu’s famous “hells,” where you can see striking blue hot spring pools and learn about the region’s geothermal wonders (admission not included: Adults ¥500, Children ¥250).
