If wanting to hop on the train from Beppu - you can rent a car at OIT airport and drop-off at either the Beppu or Oita stations. If going up to Fukuoka (about 2hr20min train ride) - highly recommend splurging for the Sonic (Series 883) Green Car! Kyushu is a fantastic island to explore by train: https://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/english/.

Good points. If he's a big spender, he might even consider taking the Seven Stars train around Kyushu but he'd have to apply well in advance because it's a lottery system. It has routes that pass through Beppu, Oita, and Yufuin, and several other Kyushu cities.
