- You go from Beppu to Yufuin and back by bus: ¥2,200 in fares against ¥1,800 for the 1-day Wide pass.

How to use it
Choose the Mini for Beppu itself, or the Wide to reach Yufuin and African Safari. Each comes as a 1-day pass or a pass for 2 consecutive days.
A pass bought on Kamenoi Bus's ticket site is an e-ticket: show it on your phone to the driver when you get on and when you get off. There is no paper ticket and nothing to exchange. If you booked passes for a group in one purchase, the group has to ride together.
Kamenoi Bus has suspended all Yufurin sightseeing rapid buses from 17 October 2026 until further notice. To reach Yufuin on the Wide pass, take route 36 from Beppu Station West Exit; from Kannawa, ride to Beppu Station West Exit first and change there.
Before you buy
Anyone can buy it. Children of primary school age pay the child fare. Children from age 1 up to school age ride free, one per paying passenger, and babies under 1 ride free. The student fare on the 1-day Mini needs a student ID.
You can't buy the pass on the bus. Buy it online on Kamenoi Bus's ticket site, by credit card with 3-D Secure, or at a Kamenoi Bus counter: Kitahama Bus Center, the Kannawa waiting room, Wonder Compass Beppu by Beppu Station, the Yufuin Ekimae Bus Center, the Ferry Sunflower counter at Beppu port or Beppu Kotsu Center.
An online booking can be cancelled on your My Page before use, for ¥110 per booking. Delays and cancelled buses are not refunded.
