Dazaifu

Highly recommended tour! It is not one of those rushed bus tours where you just breeze through; it actually leaves you with free time to explore on your own (about two hours of free time in Yufuin, though it is so rich in things to do that it is actually worth staying three to four hours. On the other hand, the Umi Jigoku [Sea Hell] was just ordinary, so I docked a few points for the itinerary arrangement). Our tour guide, Eiichi, was very professional and struck just the right balance with the pacing of the commentary. Whenever he noticed people were getting tired, he would pause appropriately, and whenever he saw everyone was interested, he would share a bit more background story. There happened to be a mobility-impaired member in our group, and aside from proactively helping to load and unload the wheelchair, he managed the timing and group gathering very well, so we never felt like we were waiting too long for settling in. The fried chicken, Mentaiko bread, and matcha soft-serve ice cream he recommended were truly delicious!

An absolutely wonderful tour! The first stop was Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, with an 80-minute stay. It takes about half an hour to walk through the shrine grounds, where you can pray for good fortune or buy some lucky charms. The small street in front of the shrine has many great little shops; whether it's local snacks, souvenirs, the Sumikkogurashi specialty store, or the unique Starbucks, everything is very interesting and well worth spending some time exploring. Next was the Beppu Ropeway, with a 60-minute stop. The cable car ride up the mountain takes about 10 minutes, offering beautiful scenery along the way. It's a bit cooler at the top, so you should keep that in mind. When we went up, it happened to be foggy, so we couldn't see the view below, but walking along the mountain trails in the fog was still a lot of fun. We had nearly two hours in Yufuin. Starting from Lake Kinrin and slowly walking back, there are so many small shops to browse and shop at, as well as plenty of interesting snacks. Even though no lunch time was scheduled, eating and browsing our way through Yufuin turned out to be a fantastic experience. On the way back, we rode the Yufuin no Mori train. Although you can't see much of the scenery at night, it gives you more leisure time, and the seats on the train are more spacious, making it easy to use the restroom and much more comfortable to rest. It's a great choice.

এটি একটি আনন্দদায়ক ভ্রমণ ছিল। হালকা বৃষ্টি হলেও, এটি সামগ্রিক ভ্রমণপথে কোনো প্রভাব ফেলেনি। আমাদের গাইড ইয়াং লিউ খুব স্পষ্টভাবে সবকিছু ব্যাখ্যা করেছেন এবং একটি বড় সাইনবোর্ডে একত্রিত হওয়ার সময় নির্দেশ করেছেন, যা খুবই স্পষ্ট ছিল। ইউফুইন-এ আমাদের পর্যাপ্ত সময় ছিল, আমরা পেঁচা জাদুঘর পরিদর্শন করেছি। আমরা ভাবিনি যে সেখানে এত পেঁচা থাকবে, আমরা তাদের স্পর্শ করতে এবং ইচ্ছামতো ছবি তুলতে পেরেছি, যা একটি দুর্দান্ত অভিজ্ঞতা ছিল। এরপর আমরা বেপ্পু কামাডো জিগোক-এ গিয়েছিলাম, যেখানে প্রত্যেকে একটি করে অনসেন ডিম পেয়েছিল। তারপর আমরা দাজাইফু তেনমাঙ্গু-তে গিয়েছিলাম। ভ্রমণসূচিটি কিছুটা ব্যস্ত ছিল, তবে একদিনে তিনটি স্থান পরিদর্শন করতে পারা পর্যটকদের সীমিত সময়ে আরও বেশি দর্শনীয় স্থান দেখার আকাঙ্ক্ষা পূরণ করেছে। সামগ্রিকভাবে, এটি উচ্চ মূল্য-মানের এবং সুপারিশযোগ্য।

I did the tour to see Takachiho Gorge and Aso Kusasenri, and I had a fantastic time. The tour was incredibly well-organized. Our guide, Sun, was knowledgeable and professional; he gave us great context about the area and guided us exceptionally well throughout the day. The gorge was beautiful, and the boat experience was so much fun. I also added the lunch package at the last minute and was really glad I did, because the food was delicious. We even got to see horses at Kusasenri, which was very cool. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

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!

দাজাইফু, ইউফুইন, কামাডো জিগোকু এবং উমি জিগোকু-তে আমাদের দিনের ভ্রমণ জাপানে আমাদের ভ্রমণের অন্যতম সেরা অংশ ছিল। ভ্রমণের সময়সূচীটি সুপরিকল্পিত ছিল, যা আমাদের প্রতিটি স্থান ঘুরে দেখতে, ছবি তুলতে, কেনাকাটা করতে এবং সত্যিই উপভোগ করার জন্য পর্যাপ্ত সময় দিয়েছে। আমাদের ট্যুর গাইড ভিভিয়ানের প্রতি বিশেষ ধন্যবাদ, যিনি অভিজ্ঞতাটিকে আরও স্মরণীয় করে তুলেছেন। তিনি আমাদের পরিদর্শন করা প্রতিটি স্থান সম্পর্কে আকর্ষণীয় গল্প এবং ঐতিহাসিক তথ্য শেয়ার করেছেন, যা আমাদের প্রতিটি গন্তব্যকে গভীরভাবে উপলব্ধি করতে সাহায্য করেছে। তার নির্দেশনা সবসময় স্পষ্ট ছিল এবং তিনি দক্ষতার সাথে সময়সূচী পরিচালনা করেছেন, যা আমাদের পর্যাপ্ত অবসর সময় নিশ্চিত করার পাশাপাশি ভ্রমণটিকে মসৃণভাবে চালিয়ে নিয়ে গেছেন। ভিভিয়ান স্থানীয় বিশেষত্ব এবং অবশ্যই চেষ্টা করার মতো খাবারের সুপারিশ করে আমাদের ভ্রমণকে আরও ফলপ্রসূ করতে অতিরিক্ত প্রচেষ্টা করেছেন। তার বন্ধুত্বপূর্ণ আচরণ, পেশাদারিত্ব এবং দলের প্রত্যেকের প্রতি আন্তরিক যত্ন পুরো ভ্রমণটিকে আনন্দদায়ক এবং চাপমুক্ত করে তুলেছে। ফুকুওকা এবং বেপ্পু ভ্রমণকারীদের জন্য এটি অত্যন্ত সুপারিশযোগ্য। আপনি যদি ভিভিয়ানকে আপনার গাইড হিসাবে পান, তবে আপনি চমৎকার হাতে আছেন!

it was great tour! everything was simple easy and straight forward. definitely recommend anyone visiting Fukuoka for the first time. my only add would be the yanagawa boat ride, it should've organised a little better and clearer by the boat company. a lot of us were confused and ended up waited extra long for the ride unnecessarily. so that our time left for lunch was less and rush.

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.

I really enjoyed the tour today! 🥰 It was such a meaningful experience, especially since I almost missed it! A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aida, for coming back to pick me up and giving me a few extra minutes. 🥹❤️ If you’re taking this tour, make sure you’re on time! Yufuin Village was absolutely beautiful and had so many shops and things to explore, especially along the alley leading to Yufuin Station. My eyes were literally “drooling” from all the beautiful things I saw! 😍✨ Thank you, Aida, for making the experience even more special! 💕
