Enter the real-life Wizard of Oz! Yufudake Day Trip Guide

1. Departure: From Fukuoka Hakata Station, take the JR Kyudai Main Line to Kurume Station, then transfer to the Hitahikoyama Line to Yufuin Station. There are many snack vending machines in the station. You can buy snacks in advance and enjoy the delicious food while appreciating the pastoral scenery outside the window during the ride. 2. Foraging: Arrive at Yufuin Station, which is full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Take photos and check in first. After exiting the station, go to the nearby "Yufuin no Mori Shokudo" to try the signature Kyushu black pork rice bowl, which is tender, juicy and very delicious. 3. Go to Yufudake: Take bus No. 36 directly to the entrance of Yufudake. As the bus travels along the winding mountain road, you can see the green valley and Mount Yufu in the distance approaching little by little, and the scenery is pleasant. 4. Climbing and enjoying the scenery: When you start climbing, the first half is a gentle slope, which is easy to walk on. Along the way, there are dense forests and various wild flowers. Climb to a place with a wide view and overlook the panoramic view of Yufuin town. In the distance, smoke is rising from the hot springs, which is a great way to take beautiful photos. Be careful when the wind is strong and don't force yourself to reach the summit. 5. Return trip: Take the bus back to Yufuin Station and buy some special souvenirs at the station, such as pudding and Kinrin Lake limited tea bags. The journey ends with a lot of gains and wonderful memories. #FukuokaItinerary
