Spring (March-May) for the cherry blossoms and autumn (October-November) for the maple leaves are ideal; avoid rainy weekends. Go early in the morning for shorter lines at the attractions.

Yes, it has ramps, elevators, and paved paths in the main areas, although the Super Slider is not accessible. Contact the park at +81-977-67-2650 for specific details or wheelchair rental.

Nearby are the Beppu Hells hot springs, 20 minutes away by car, Mount Takasakiyama for wild monkeys, and hot springs such as Kannawa. Explore the Beppu coast for more natural hot springs.

Wear comfortable clothes and athletic shoes for the Super Slider, book tickets online on the official website in high season, and try local snacks such as toriten. Bring sunscreen and water, since the park sits at a higher altitude.
