If you’re after a bird’s-eye view of Beppu, the Beppu Ropeway is the way to go—literally. The cable car glides up Mount Tsurumi, giving you sweeping views of the city, the bay, and the surrounding mountains that seem to stretch forever. On clear days, you can even spot Shikoku across the sea. The ride itself is smooth and surprisingly peaceful, with the clouds drifting by and the city shrinking below. At the top, you’ll find walking trails, a small shrine, and some seriously photogenic lookout points—especially in autumn when the mountain bursts into red and gold.
