Kyushu Itoshima Coast & Yanagawa River Cruise & Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine Day Trip (Departing from Fukuoka)

First, our tour guide, Xiao Min, was incredibly attentive and responsible, making every effort to care for each guest. When it rained, we were worried about the slippery steps leading to the torii gate for photos. Xiao Min noticed this and immediately guided us, personally leading us back to an easier, alternative route. She was very proactive and never lazy. Another point worth commending is that she saw a couple in our group monopolizing a scenic spot for a long time, causing a long queue. Xiao Min proactively urged them to move along, ensuring everyone had a chance to take photos. Regarding the itinerary: three aspects of the tour were quite disappointing. 1 - Lunch was too early. We had just finished breakfast at 8 AM, and then by 10:30-11:00 AM, we were at Ichiran eating again. Moreover, the time spent at Ichiran was too long, and there wasn't much to explore. 2 - Yanagawa: The boatman was excellent and created a lively atmosphere. Unfortunately, the rain was very heavy at the time. Driving 1.5 hours to get there was not worth it. I suggest that the itinerary should be adjusted based on the rain conditions, rather than just whether the boat company is willing to operate. 3 - The stop at Dazaifu was only exactly 1 hour. This included getting off the bus, using the restroom, buying Umegae Mochi, browsing 2-3 small shops, and then returning to the bus. Since we were traveling with parents and couldn't walk quickly, there simply wasn't enough time to walk into the temple. Fearing we wouldn't make it back in time, we turned around at the end of the street and didn't dare go further. Dazaifu actually has coffee shops and small stores, and I personally believe 1.5-2 hours should be allocated, especially since 30 minutes were set aside earlier just to photograph a torii gate. 60 minutes for the entire Dazaifu visit is simply too short.

I enjoyed very much for this trip. We covered 6 places in a day. Thank to our guide Carson, when we arrived at most of the place, we don’t need to queue and wait for long time as we were the first group to arrived. He managed the trip very well and very helpful as he also offered to take picture for everybody. Overall, it is a worth and good trip and recommended 👍🏻

Riku was great. He was attentive and made sure everybody was helped and had great explanations as he did it in English and Chinese. Would definitely recommend.

The itinerary was very full and the tour guide, Wendy, flexibly arranged each activity, allowing us to fully enjoy every attraction. It's amazing that the tour guide speaks Cantonese! Based on our language, she also specifically arranged seating for us and detailed everything we needed to be aware of. We are so grateful to have met such a perfect tour guide who wholeheartedly took care of each of us!

Our tour guide, Xiao Wang, was handsome and friendly. He explained everything along the way, was very responsible, and helped us take beautiful photos at each stop. Thank you so much! He's also very professional—he took great photos! Even though the weather was incredibly hot, the beautiful photos and travel experience made us very happy! Also, thank you to the driver for making sure we were comfortable and able to rest and relax during the trip. We give it a hundred-star rating! 👍

This is the best choice for families traveling together. You don't have to worry about a thing; just follow along! This itinerary is quite relaxed, with minimal walking, making it perfect for tourists who enjoy taking photos and checking out scenic spots. Although the boat ride in Yanagawa wasn't the kind where they jump off bridges as I expected, the boatman provided plenty of entertainment, singing 5, 6, 7, 8 songs, which was very enjoyable.

Our tour leader, Ms. "Yang Meng," was very attentive and considerate. She proactively helped us take photos and introduced each attraction in great detail. The entire itinerary was very well planned, and everyone was happy and cheerful. At the end of the trip, she even gave out small gifts to everyone. In addition, the boatman in Yanagawa deserves praise for leading the entire team safely and happily, creating a highly spirited atmosphere.

Today's itinerary was fantastic! Our guide, Wendy, is fluent in multiple languages and made excellent arrangements for tour members of different nationalities. The itinerary timing was well managed. Raizan Kannon Temple is beautiful, Itoshima is full of photo opportunities, and Ichiran Ramen was delicious - making the trip worthwhile. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide, ADA, was great. She was very helpful when I had problems with my hotel booking. The itinerary was a little rushed. I suggest reducing 1-2 minor attractions to allow for more time.
