You will enter the underground wonder [Akiyoshido Cave]: It is one of Japan’s second longest and largest limestone caves, located 100 meters underground. The cave is cool, with a year-round temperature of 17 degrees Celsius! Inside the cave, there are many stalagmites and stalactites, as well as terraced formations made of huge limestone, all of which are valuable geological specimens. Akiyoshido Cave was formed over a million years ago, and here you can feel the long history of the Earth and the charm of the incredible nature.
  • Stroll through the mysterious red torii gates along the Sea of Japan at [Motonosumi Inari Shrine], which features an endless tunnel of torii gates. These 123 red torii gates extend along the hillside all the way to the cliff edge, forming a beautiful and magnificent landscape with the blue sky, green land, and the azure ocean.
  • Check in at the super popular scenic bridge [Tsunoshima Bridge]. Tsunoshima Bridge, often featured in TV commercials, is one of Japan's most beautiful bridges. Tsunoshima Bridge is free for motor vehicles to pass, and the 1780-meter long bridge spans across the clear blue sea. The spectacular bridge and the harmonious blue of the sea create an extraordinary beautiful scenery!
  • Overlook the magnificent strait where Kyushu and Honshu meet at [Mekari Observation Deck].
  • Full-day private car transfer, no need for the fatigue of self-driving, suitable for first-time visitors to western Japan. Highly recommended for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers, come for a healing and energetic one-day adventure!

This is an easy, chill tour. You have time to see the sights, take good photos, eat or shop a bit. Akiyoshido Caves were beautiful. Our guide, Jyo, was very friendly and gave us good tips on where to take the best photos and eat some good local specialties.

I love how the tour guide, Ella was very informative and always willing to help and answer all out question. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants a well organized trip. All the sites we went were all very nice. I especially love the cave experience plus the bunos sunset view of the Japan sea on our way back to Hakata.

Thomas is an excellent tour guide—friendly, punctual, and highly organized. Every attraction was visited on time with no delays at all. The use of a van instead of a bus made the journey more comfortable, with great seating. All the attractions were wonderful, and my siblings and I truly enjoyed the trip. Thank you, Thomas!

I really enjoyed this trip. All the attractions were beautiful. We visited an underground cave that was formed 300 million years ago, and it was truly a world within a world. Coming out of the cave, I was stunned by the natural beauty of the forest stream. It's definitely worth a visit. Then we went to a seaside shrine; the weather was fantastic today, with blue skies and white clouds, making for great photos. Our tour guide, Minmin, was also very thoughtful. She helped me take pictures along the way, explained the attractions to everyone, and even recommended some great food in Fukuoka afterward. I'm so grateful to her.

At each scenic spot, he proactively helped each guest take photos from the best angle, offering enthusiastic service that made guests feel at home. He deserves praise.

The entire trip was wonderful, especially Akiyoshido Cave. The rock formations inside were spectacular, and stepping out of the cave felt like discovering a paradise on Earth—it was a delightful surprise! Motonosumi Inari Shrine was also breathtaking! The 123 red torii gates built along the mountain were incredibly grand! Nana, our tour guide, provided detailed explanations, which deepened our appreciation even further!

Review for: (Limited-time offer) Akiyoshido Cave one-day tour

This tour offers great value for money, perfect for those who don't drive but want to visit remote attractions that are inconvenient to reach by public transport. Our guide, Yang-san, was excellent; he proactively helped group members take photos and was always smiling. My first day tour experience was very good! However, the last rest stop was only 10 minutes, which felt a bit rushed. Perhaps it was to avoid traffic, but a slightly longer stop would have been better.
