Kyushu Miyazaki Mythical Secret Realm: Takachiho Gorge (optional boating)・Amanoiwato Shrine・Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine (includes Japanese sweets & shuttle bus)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our tour to Takachiho Gorge, Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, Amanoiwato Shrine, and Amanoyasukawara was absolutely fantastic! The itinerary was well-organized, giving us enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. A special thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Ms. Cico, who was friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the trip. She shared interesting stories and helpful information about each location, making the experience even more meaningful. One thoughtful touch that really stood out was that every guest received a complimentary box of delicious manju, which was a pleasant surprise. We also appreciated the free shuttle bus provided to take us up to Takachiho Gorge, saving us from the uphill walk and making the visit much more comfortable. Overall, everything was well-planned, convenient, and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Ms. Cico, for making it such a memorable day!

Even though it was raining, the overall itinerary was very well managed. We had a mini-bus with two guides: Zhu Zhu, who handled Chinese and Korean, and another male guide who provided explanations and commentary in fluent English. This was my first time on a one-day tour, and I was surprised that the guides even walked with us. Zhu Zhu is an excellent guide; she provided detailed information about restrooms and lunch options and consistently ensured the group stayed together and that everyone was accounted for. The entire trip was very enriching. Although the schedule was a bit tight, there was still enough time even for those who love taking photos. We even received small gifts at the end! Since I was staying in Takachiho, I opted out of the return trip, and Zhu Zhu was very enthusiastic in discussing my drop-off location. I'm so glad I joined this one-day tour, and I highly recommend it!

Mao did an excellent job guiding us throughout the whole tour. He spoke clearly enough and was kind. Only thing I would recommend is to have longer hours in each spot to make the most of the long travel time. Thank you, Mao-san and Mr. Driver-san.

Our tour guide Mr Mao was incredibly polite, patient, and caring throughout the trip, always guiding us with a warm smile. He even went the extra mile to help me find and buy medicine, showing genuine concern. His professionalism, kindness, and thoughtful support made our entire experience smooth, memorable, and truly enjoyable.

This was an easy way to see some beautiful shrines and experience Takachiho Gorge without a car/driving in Japan. The itinerary allows for visiting things that are remote/less accessible otherwise (mountain roads, rural shrines) which is a plus if you don’t want the hassle of self-drive. Don’t expect a very slow, relaxed pace with lots of downtime — you’ll see a lot, but it’s somewhat brisk. If you want the boat ride at Takachiho, check ahead if you can book it and account for the time. The bus transport between Fukuoka and Miyazaki region (Takachiho) is air-conditioned and comfortable. Kudos to driver for giving us a smooth ride. Our tour guide Kaku-san, was excellent during the activities. He even gave us a complimentary gift (manju snack) at the end of the trip c/o the company.

My tour was arranged neat and carefully. It was comfortable and enjoy. Mr Sun, our tourguide was very energetic and helpful, his pictures for us were good enough 😁. I believe if I had taken this course by myself, it would be impossible both itinerary and cost. And one more plus pont is the nice gift from tour operator, it was very considerate. That's why I strongly recommend this tour for others. wish you all luck!

Took lots of Photos here and I really enjoyed Mr. Thomas as our guide. He explains well, very accomodating and patient. The hightlight of our tour was the Takachiho Gorge and we had enough time to explore the Gorge.

The day was long, with many stops and walking to do, but it was completely worth it. The itinerary was well planned out, even though we couldn’t stay long in many places, it was enough time to enjoy and take in the views. Our guide, Sung, was very involved throughout all the tour, even helping to take photos. His attitude really stands out and made the trip more enjoyable! thank you!

Traveling around Japan during the Summer was quite a challenge, but the tour services were the right decision for my parents and me. They were very convenient, and our guide, Thomas, was very helpful. Amazing views, too!

The must see sights in Fukuoka, and this tour made visiting them a lot smoother. Kaku was much more fluent in Chinese than in English, but his English was good enough to get us by and you could tell he tried really hard. Since you’ll be spending the majority of the day on the road, I recommend packing snacks, food, and drinks for the ride.
