It’s only 30 minutes, but you can take in Takachiho’s most beautiful valley scenery. It’s one of the most worthwhile experiences when visiting Takachiho.
Along the way, you’ll also pass through a tunnel where the staff turn on colorful lights. Together with the lighthearted commentary and interaction, it makes the whole trip much more fun instead of just looking at the scenery.

Usa Jingu Shrine
More than 40,000 Hachiman shrines throughout Japan, which are called "Hachiman-sama" and worshiped in various places, are the largest number among Shinto shrines. The main shrine is Usa Jingu, built in the 2nd year of the Jinki era (725). It is the second-largest shrine in Japan after Ise Jingu Shrine and is revered by the imperial family.
I visited Usa Jingu Shrine twice. The grounds are really quite large, and you can also look for heart-shaped patterns on the stone slabs. After walking for a while, I reached the main shrine. The vermilion buildings are really beautiful after the renovation. If you get the chance, come take a stroll. You can also buy limited-edition amulets.

Kyushu Natural Animal Park African Safari
The African Safari is the largest safari park in Japan where around 1400 animals of 70 species roam freely in its enormous area. The park is divided into two zones; the “Animal Zone” with its 6km safari road where visitors can get close to the animals from the “jungle bus” and the “Interacting Zone” where visitors can actually touch the animals.
Kyushu Natural Animal Park. The grounds are really huge. In the cute animal area, you can hold and feed small animals, and the main attraction is riding the park's Jungle Bus (reservations aren't available, so you have to line up in person) to feed herbivores and carnivores. Not only kids but adults also find it a lot of fun. If you're visiting Beppu, I recommend adding this attraction to your itinerary. It's really quite different from zoos back home. Highly recommended〜

Fukuoka Airport
Fukuoka Airport is located in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, and is known for its exceptional access to the city center-just about 5 minutes by subway to Hakata Station and around 11 minutes to Tenjin. Its convenience makes it a major gateway for both tourism and business travel.
After the renovation, Fukuoka Airport has become quite nice, with many more restaurants, shops, and souvenir stores. Travelers can enjoy food and browse around while waiting for their flights.
