Visit Beppu, Takachiho, Mt. Aso 2018/5/17 05:00
Hello,
We arrive to Kyushu from Hiroshima by JR and we have just 3 nights... :-(

I saw that the public-transportation information is not updated on the guide.

Can someone recommend the best way to cover the next 3 attractions using public transportation?
- Beppu including the baths and Hell-tour
- Takachiho gorge including the shrine
- Mt. Aso visit.

Regards

Beppu is easily accessed. But the others are not by public transport. I would consider car hire.

Google Maps allows you to do this. Takachiho is accessible via bus but I cannot comment on Mt Aso

I guess if you wanted to see those locations. Asosan and Takachiho arent link by any public transport option.

So stay 3 day at beppu. Sightsee beppu one day. Day two, train to Aso station, then bus to Aso Toursit Centre. Day three, train to Nobeoka, then bus to Takachiho Gorge, taxi to shrine.

Lots of traveling. But that it is what it is due to limited public transport options in central Kyushu.

... and it doesn't help that even that limited amound is still disturbed by the effects of various natural disasters that occurred in recent years.

The most sensible base for that plan seems to be Beppu/Oita. Then you can go to Aso station by train, and to Takachiho by bus from Nobeoka a bit further south.

Many thanks, lot's of info.
As it such a tourist attraction, I wonder if there are guide tours getting out from Beppu
It sounds logical that there are organized trips from Beppu all arround, isn't it?

Thank you all. Nothing in English but I will manage.
BTW, does the JR covers Kyushu? or at least the travel from Hiroshima to Beppu?

The Sanyo shinkansen line between Hiroshima and Kokura and the Nippo line between Kokura and Beppu is covered by the JR national passes.

Trains from Beppu to Aso and to Nobeoka are also covered; however the bus from Nobeoka to Takachiho isn't.
