Kitakyushu

We spotted tour guide Nana's flag first thing in the morning. She was sweet and extremely dedicated, and she didn't waste any time talking when it was time for us to rest and catch up on sleep! Her Mandarin and English were both fluent, so there were zero communication barriers. Since I easily get motion sick, I had added a note requesting a front-seat before joining the tour, and they saved a seat for me. The scenery along the entire way was truly gorgeous, and everywhere we went had a wonderful, comfortable energy. Because we joined the Takachiho Gorge boating activity, our schedule required precise timing. As soon as we arrived at Takachiho Gorge, Nana gave instructions on the meeting time and place for those not boating, and then rushed forward with the nine of us who were participating in the boating activity! It turns out that boating time is limited, and failing to return within the designated time results in extra fees charged by the boat rental shop! The boats are not the easiest to steer, but it is a lot of fun. I highly recommend trying it out if you aren't traveling with very young children or elderly family members—since you're already there, you might as well! I highly recommend this tour and am very grateful to our guide, Nana, for giving us such a wonderful day! By the way, the mango shaved ice has very poor value for the money, so skip it! The soft-serve ice cream should be worth a try, though!

Traveling with the tour was very convenient. The guide took good care of us and provided great recommendations, allowing us to visit a variety of places in just one day. For those who prefer not to rent a car and drive, having 2 hours at the Takachiho Gorge, including the round-trip walk, was more than enough time. In the afternoon, we visited Mt. Aso. Even though the crater was closed, we were able to see the views up close at two different spots. Kusasenri offered beautiful scenery, though 1 hour might be a bit tight for sightseeing, having a meal, and shopping for souvenirs. Overall, it was a very worthwhile and convenient experience with everything covered, including a stop at a service area along the way.

Overall, the trip was good, but I wish we had more time to explore Mojiko. Since it was a weekend, Mount Sarakura was very crowded, with long queues. Unfortunately, we missed the sunset and reached the top when it was already dark, windy and freezing cold, so there wasn’t much to see. Our tour guide, Robin, was very nice and attentive and took good care of everyone throughout the trip.

It was a truly impressive trip. I was the only English speaker, but the guide. Zhu Zhu, took good care of me, ensuring I fully understood everything about the tour. The experience far exceeded my expectations.

this tour is probably one of my favorite. the observatory deck, the cave, the bridge! it’s full of itineraries! highly recommended! thank you to our tour guide Seki! She’s the best! Very entertaining, Seki explained everything in all languages!

Въпреки че тази еднодневна екскурзия включва само 3 забележителности, всяка от тях има свой собствен чар и си струва да бъде посетена. Сушито на пазар Токато беше много прясно и вкусно. Не отидохме в най-известния ресторант, защото опашката беше прекалено дълга, а просто избрахме на случаен принцип друго място наблизо и останахме изключително доволни, особено от торо (риба тон), което се стопяваше в устата! Опитахме и сашими от фугу, което не ни изненада. Цялата редица червени тории⛩️ в светилището Мотоносуми, съчетани с чистото синьо небе и безкрайното море, ни накараха несъзнателно да направим десетки снимки! Връх Сакурада по здрач и при светлината на първите нощни лампи е изключително очарователен! Мястото е много подходящо за любители фотографи, но е необходимо да си предвидите достатъчно време за двупосочния кабинков лифт. Екскурзоводът г-н Жанг беше много внимателен, винаги съобщаваше ясно часа за събиране и напомняше на всички кога е време за тоалетна. Представянето на програмата и историята на забележителностите по пътя на английски, мандарин и японски език беще безупречно и заслужава висока оценка!

Our trip along the popular Itoshima route in Kyushu with Eiichii was absolute perfection from start to finish. Exploring six distinct and beautiful stops in a single day could easily feel rushed, but Eiichii’s meticulous planning and organization made the entire journey incredibly comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. He was incredibly accommodating, fluently switching between English and Chinese to make sure everyone felt included and well-informed. Eiichii treated every guest with the utmost warmth and respect throughout the day. To top it off, he was an amazing photographer—he took the time to ensure everyone got great photos at every single location. If you are visiting Kyushu, I cannot recommend Eiichii enough. He made our trip unforgettable!

This is my first time join local tour. I have good experience on that. Because tour guides very nice, explain very clearly and detail on our tour. And always update and remind us important information through what app, pay attention on her customer service. I’m appreciate on her guide in this trip, I’m very enjoyable and very happy! This tour was very interesting and nice place for me to visit. I will recommend to everyone:)

Нашият екскурзовод Сун Нан беше много учтив и любезен, докато ни водеше на еднодневната ни екскурзия до Моджико, като ни даде добри съвети къде можем да си купим добро сашими на рибния пазар. Насладихме се и на кратката разходка с лодка до рибния пазар. Храната беше прясна и вкусна. След това ни заведоха в търговски район, където успяхме да намерим много добри японски марки на изгодни цени, плюс бонус да видим изложбата на Ултрамен, която в момента е изложена. Накрая отидохме до Сакакура-яма за нашата зашеметяваща нощна панорамна обиколка с кабинков лифт, която наистина завърши деня ни с красив край на обиколката.
