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 👍🏻

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.

Today's tour guide was Lily. She was very friendly, explained the itinerary in detail, and helped us take photos to remember the trip. We visited six attractions in one day, making it a very fulfilling day.

jrt is the best company! customer service is excellent. very responsive and their cancellation policy is great unlike other tour agencies. our tour guide riku is well recommended! two thumbs up 👏👍👍he always make sure everybody had a good time! gives guidelines for everyone. eloquent in conversation. and he is also considerate to all guests. gives time for all of us to roam around and buy souvenirs in each tourist spots. we were well attended. company driver is courteous and respectful. we will definitely book with the same company again! with riku as our tourist guide 🩵🩵🩵

Although it rained on the day we participated, JRT sent clear instructions before check-in about who to report to and where, which was excellent. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find our guide among so many groups that day. Our guide, Xiao Xin, clearly introduced the attractions, and it was very thoughtful of her to lend umbrellas to guests. The driver also drove very steadily and safely. A tour on a rainy day, especially visiting the seaside, offers a unique experience. This itinerary is perfect for a relaxing, stress-free day trip to the Fukuoka suburbs! 👍 The Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks) are definitely worth a visit!

We had a fantastic experience on the Itoshima + Yanagawa + Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine day tour. It included a boat ride in Yanagawa, offered great value, and comes highly recommended. Our tour guide, Wang Baoyin, was very dedicated and responsible, truly excellent.

Our tour guide Wendy was very nice~~ Spoke three languages 👍🏻 Amazing! Today's full-day itinerary was packed!! The weather was also nice ~~ The photos 📷 look great 🫶🏻 We ate ramen 🍜 at Ichiran no Mori and visited the museum (found Takuya Kimura's autograph ✍️). After getting on the bus, we even ate eel rice. Very satisfying! Thanks again to Wendy for her careful arrangements!

The itinerary was relaxing and fun, and our guide Lily provided thoughtful and attentive service, enthusiastically recommending many delicious foods worth trying. However, if Itoshima could be a full-day independent tour, it might offer even better value!

A Value for Money day tour, you covered all key places of interest in Fukuoka in one day. Including visiting the famous Ramen restaurant in Fukuoka.
