If you only have one day to explore Saga, this classic itinerary is an absolute must-see! From culture and art to natural scenery, every stop in Saga is unforgettable~

  • First Stop: Arita Porcelain Park Start your journey in the morning at Arita Porcelain Park and experience the essence of Japanese ceramic culture!

Wandering through the European castle-style buildings, it feels like being in a fairy tale world~ Remember to take some beautiful photos, they turn out really well!

Strolling through the torii gate corridor is peaceful and healing; remember to make a beautiful wish!
  • Fourth Stop: Ouo Shrine Next, we come to a hidden gem for checking in – Ouo Shrine. This shrine faces the sea, with its sanctuary standing in the water, offering a unique and distinct view as the tide rises and falls. At sunset, it’s especially dreamy and an excellent choice for photography enthusiasts!
  • Fifth Stop: Saga Strawberry Picking The last stop, with a relaxed and joyful mood, head to a strawberry farm to experience the fun of picking! The strawberries here are large and sweet, and eating them as you pick fills your mouth with a refreshing sweetness~
Sweet and delicious strawberries will leave you with unforgettable memories. Every tourist who has visited raves about them.

Review for: [Autumn Limited] Saga Autumn Leaves One-Day Tour

We took a one-day tour to Saga this time. Although it rained, we still had a lot of fun. We experienced the culture of Saga, appreciated the beautiful scenery of Saga, and picked strawberries. The strawberries were delicious 😋 (but I still have a question in my mind. If you pick and eat strawberries at the same time, don’t you need to wash them when you pick them? Although they are grown in greenhouses, there is still some dust. I think it is better to provide water for us to wash them.) Finally, I am very grateful to the tour guide and driver this time. The tour guide Wu Xia was very enthusiastic and responsible. She also sent an email notification the night before departure to inform us of precautions. In addition to introducing Saga, it also provides delicious and fun places in Fukuoka. Thank you to the driver for driving safely. I hope to take another Klook day tour next time I come to Japan.

Review for: Winter Strawberry Picking Day Trip

Really enjoyed this tour! It was a birthday gift for myself and I'm so happy with it! Daisy, our tour guide, was really kind and helpful. The timing was perfect for each location since she thought about the tides for the gates and where to best spend the most time at. she helped take pictures and got some candid ones too! She also gave us some recommendations on restaurants and super markets. She even helped me find a place for lodging. The weather was cloudy and a bit of rain but it was still okay and didn't bother the trip. Most of the stops were 40ish minutes if I remember correctly and it was a good amount for the places that were mostly photo locations. The most time was at Inari shrine so you can climb up the stairs and/or eat. I recommend a light lunch since after is the strawberry patch and you gotta eat your money's worth! Very happy and would love to try it again in the summer! :)

Review for: One-day tour for autumn maple viewing

Daisy was our friendly and hospitable guide for the tour. Overall, the itinerary was built for those who want to see scenic views with a little bit immersion of the Japanese culture. It could have been better if it was not raining all day long. Recommended for Autumn and Spring season.

Review for: One-day tour for autumn maple viewing

We had the best time viewing autumn leaves in this region of Japan! Our tour guide, Daisy, was very helpful and approachable. She shared stories and information about the tour spots that piqued our interest and made the trip more meaningful. Be prepared for a lot of uphill walks and a tight schedule. Best to have snacks/food with you because the itinerary is packed, there’s no time to have for lunch.

I bought this tour only for strawberry picking but it literally surprised me that every place are also beautiful, if you select the right time for Sakura blossom.

Review for: Winter Strawberry Picking Day Trip

Basically, all the attractions are within a day's drive. There is only one Inari Shrine that needs attention. If the elders have bad knees, there is an elevator to take, so don't be nervous. In addition, the strawberry picking experience I participated in at the Itoshima Strawberry Farm this time, the strawberries provided are really special, big and sweet, and the strawberries have a special fragrance, which is very fragrant. You can smell it at the door, and then eat it. The fragrance spreads directly in your mouth~ In addition, I brought yogurt and condensed milk, but I didn't expect that the yogurt would come in handy. The strawberries are too sweet 😋 The farm also provides hot tea. After picking, there is another special plate of strawberries for everyone to share~

Review for: [Autumn Limited] Saga Autumn Leaves One-Day Tour

I mainly want to thank the leader of the previous group, Daisy Wu. This group was led by another leader. After the trip, I forgot to take the items on the seat. After notifying the company, the company asked me to hand over the leadership information of the next day. It happened to be Daisy. However, there should be some misunderstandings between the company and the driver. My items were not brought to the car that day. Daisy took the initiative to offer to deliver the items to my hotel. I am really grateful for her help. I look forward to following her tour when I come to Fukuoka again🥰🥰
