Coses per fer a Kitakyushu

Va ser una experiència increïble! La nostra guia turística, la senyora Nana, va ser molt amable, simpàtica i servicial durant tot el viatge. Sens dubte, recomanaria aquesta excursió als meus amics. Si us uniu a aquesta excursió, no us perdeu els ous onsen a Umi Jigoku, són increïblement deliciosos! Només en vaig comprar un i realment em penedeixo de no haver-ne agafat més. Les croquetes de Yufuin Floral Village també són una cosa que cal provar. També volia provar els bolets a la brasa, però, malauradament, la cua era tan llarga que es van esgotar abans que pogués comprar-ne. Això va ser una mica decebedor. L'únic inconvenient va ser visitar-ho a l'estiu. Feia una calor extrema i caminar sota la calor era bastant esgotador🔥. A part d'això, m'ho vaig passar molt bé!

Vam visitar molts llocs durant el tour i vam tenir temps per mirar molts records i menjar. El cràter del Mont Aso estava tancat, malauradament, però tot i així vam poder gaudir de les vistes increïbles. Els nostres guies, especialment la Sun, van ser molt complaents, fins i tot quan la meva amiga i jo érem les úniques dues persones de parla anglesa del viatge. Tots dos eren molt alegres i ens van donar bona informació sobre els llocs i també consells sobre menjar i altres llocs per visitar a Fukuoka. Així que moltes gràcies a ells :)

Aquesta excursió va ser realment bona si us agraden els animals i voleu veure'ls de prop. Vaig gaudir de la guia, la Zhu Zhu era molt dolça i, tot i que parlava poc anglès, va ser fantàstica i es va assegurar que pogués seguir el ritme de la resta del grup. Era encantadora i amable, em va ajudar a demanar menjar a totes les botigues i em va oferir el seu paraigua i fins i tot les pomes dolces. Recomano molt aquesta ruta, veureu moltes coses en un sol dia!

Va valer molt la pena participar en aquesta activitat. Com que viatjàvem pel nostre compte i volíem anar al santuari de Motonosumi, aquesta excursió d'un dia va ser molt més còmoda. Vam tenir la sort de conèixer en Jimmy en aquest viatge; la seva presentació personal al cotxe ja va animar l'ambient i ens va fer riure de bon grat 😆. Com que també hi havia estrangers en aquest trajecte, a més de parlar mandarí, també parlava anglès, cosa que va ser fantàstic i es va entendre perfectament. També voldria lloar les habilitats de conducció del conductor, que eren excel·lents; tot i que el trajecte va ser una mica llarg, vam poder descansar tranquil·lament ☺️. L'únic inconvenient d'aquest viatge va ser que, un cop a la muntanya, hi havia massa boira i no vam poder veure gaire el paisatge. Esperem tornar-hi la propera vegada per gaudir de les vistes.

Una gran experiència, fins i tot sent un dia plujós... El més destacat del tour va ser el nostre guia, Kevin, que va ser molt servicial i amable. Va explicar cada destinació. El passeig en barca per Yanagawa també va ser una bona experiència.

Glad we took this trip on a weekend since we were able to visit Karato Market. We were able to try tried Fugu and the sushi choices are very fresh. I loved the Toro Sushi. We were also able to see the different buildings in Mojiko Retro. I was able to marvel on its architecture. This is our 5th visit in Japan but it's our first time visiting a Japanese castle. Kokura Castle is a very good castle first castle. It has interactive activities that will keep you immersed. I also liked our visit to Miyajidake Shrine. It is very peaceful and one with nature. I also would like to commend our tour guide. My mother and I were the only two non-Chinese speaking members of the group but the tour guide was very helpful with us.

What a fantastic day trip! The meeting point was easy to find right outside Hakata Station, and the staff proactively confirmed our destination. The seats on the bus were comfortable, and the driver was safe and steady. Our guide, Lisa, was incredibly kind and enthusiastic, always offering to help take photos. Her explanations of the attractions were very professional, and she was fluent in three languages, which made our journey very relaxed and enjoyable. All the places we visited were beautiful, and we were even luckier that the cloudy morning turned into a clear, sunny afternoon. The most incredible part was that we could easily visit several attractions that are difficult to access by public transport for less than the price of a one-way Shinkansen ticket to Kumamoto – the value for money was exceptional. Finally, the schedule was well-planned, allowing us ample time to enjoy the scenery and take photos at each attraction.

Even though it was raining, the overall itinerary was very well managed. We had a mini-bus with two guides: Zhu Zhu, who handled Chinese and Korean, and another male guide who provided explanations and commentary in fluent English. This was my first time on a one-day tour, and I was surprised that the guides even walked with us. Zhu Zhu is an excellent guide; she provided detailed information about restrooms and lunch options and consistently ensured the group stayed together and that everyone was accounted for. The entire trip was very enriching. Although the schedule was a bit tight, there was still enough time even for those who love taking photos. We even received small gifts at the end! Since I was staying in Takachiho, I opted out of the return trip, and Zhu Zhu was very enthusiastic in discussing my drop-off location. I'm so glad I joined this one-day tour, and I highly recommend it!

We really wanted to see Motonosumi Shrine. However, the original tour that we wanted to join was already full the day that is available for us so we decided to book this tour. Little did we know that we have booked a tour with "Chinese/Japanese-speaking tour guide" even if we don't speak any of the two languages. Despite this, our tour guide, Mr. Wang, did his best to guide us using a translation app. The initial plan for the tour is we explore Mojiko on our own then ride the ferry to go to the Karato Fish market and the tour guide will meet us there. However, Mr. Wang volunteered to take us to the fish market through the van instead of the ferry so we will not be lost. We respectfully declined his offer because we wanted to experience riding the ferry. We really felt his sincere concern for us. We are very satisfied with this tour. Thank you, Mr. Wang!
