Anyone on a short call, or anyone wanting a quiet hour after the hells.
It is a class, not a tour: you get yourself downtown and back. It adds nothing to seeing the hells, which are 15-20 minutes away in Kannawa.
It takes place at one venue, so there is no route to list.
Guide languages: English, Japanese. Cancellation: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Run by Space Beppu.
