Features of the tours

Really experience the scenery, sounds, smells and breezes of the local area while traveling at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour in an open-air green slow mobility vehicle powered by eco-friendly energy. We invite you to enjoy this unique experience.
Jigoku Meguri Tour—A tour popular among tourists in Beppu Kannawa is a charming and vibrant hot spring resort town located at the center of the Jigoku Meguri Tour area where hot steam rises from the main street. With the green slow mobility vehicles traveling along fixed routes, you can take your time and relax while enjoying Jigoku Meguri Tour and stroll around the town.
You may find it hard to walk up Ideyuzaka Street, the main street. Please take the green slow mobility, which travels along fixed routes. You can get on and off at your convenience by showing your ticket, which will make your journey more comfortable.
* Green slow mobility vehicles travel along a fixed route and passengers can board and disembark at several dedicated stops and drop-off zones within the area
The tour also offers tickets to enter Umi Jigoku, Oniishi Bouzu Jigoku, and Jigoku Onsen Museum. This tour allows you to take your time strolling around Kannawa rather than visiting all the seven Jigoku sites
