How to Get There

You can reach the mountain by train and then bus.

Yufuin Station is served by the Kudai Main Line, which has limited express services to Hakata and Beppu. Take the bus for 20 minutes from Yufuin Station and get off at Yufu-tozan-guchi.

Out on the trails

After walking through grasslands and forest, you'll come to a crossroads where you need to choose which peak to ascend.

The east peak is suitable for beginners and might take about two or three hours, while the west peak requires scrambling and climbing, including the use of chains.
