Coses per fer a Dazaifu

Our tour guide, Daisy, provided thorough explanations in Chinese throughout the trip and was very attentive to the elderly members of our group. She even created her own recommended Google lists for different areas and enthusiastically helped us call to reserve delicious kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) at the restaurant in front of Yufuin Station. We got to try all three flavors: beef, chicken, and eel—it was truly amazing! At Tenmangu Shrine, she professionally advised us on which shops to visit first (as they were closing soon) and shared tips on how to pray and make wishes. On the way back, she recommended great places to eat and fun things to do in Fukuoka. Tour A offered a rich and interesting itinerary, allowing those who love shopping and good food to enjoy a fulfilling day. However, the schedule was tight and felt a bit rushed, and the travel time between destinations meant we couldn't fully enjoy shopping (how much do I love shopping, anyway?). Next time, I'd like to visit Yufuin on my own (I bought so many Miffy items!).

We were late for the trip, and met up the tour guide at the dazaifu metro station. It was really nice to have our tour guide, Lina as our guide on this trip. She communicated well, waited for us at the station and guide us to the bas. Along the journey, explanation will be given by the tour guide as well so you get some info and know what to do next. It was absolutely a great trip, we went to beppu and yufuin floral village, saw some nice scenery and have some food. It was tsuyu season so expect some rain during the journey. For the time schedule, it was on time and everyone also get on time. Overall, thumbs up to this trip! 🙌👍👍

We visited a lot of places during the tour and was able to have time to browse lots of souvenirs and food throughout. Mount Aso crater was unfortunately closed but we were still able to enjoy and take in the amazing views. Our guides especially Sun was so accommodating even when we me and my friend were the only 2 English speaking people in the trip. They were both really jolly and would give good infos about the places and also gave tips on food and where else to visit around Fukuoka. So thank you so much to them :)

Great experience even if it was rainy day…Highlights of the tour was our tour guide kevin who was very helpful and friendly. Explained each destination. The yanagawa boat ride was also a good experience

this tour was really good if you love animals and want to see them up close. I enjoyed the guide Zhu Zhu was so sweet and even she spoke little English she was so great and made sure I was able to follow along with rest of the group. She was so delightful and kindhearted, helped me order all the foods form all the shops and stores and offered me her umbrella and even the sweet apples. I highly recommend this route you get to see lots in one day!

The tour guide was exceptionally professional and friendly. Highly recommended day trip!!! Started the morning with peaceful vibes at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine – the plum blossoms and autumn leaves were stunning, and you can feel the history in every step. Then we headed to Yufuin Town – think Studio Ghibli meets hot spring paradise. After lunch, soaked in the views of Mt. Yufu and explored the cute cafés and craft shops. Next up, Beppu Ropeway for jaw-dropping views of the city and the bay from above. The cable car ride alone is worth it! Additional 1700 yen. Last but definitely not least – Kamado Jigoku (one of Beppu’s famous “Hells”). Not only did we see bubbling geothermal ponds and steam vents, but we also got a complimentary onsen egg (so creamy!) and a refreshing lemon soda to wash it down. A perfect mix of culture, nature, incredible food, and quirky onsen fun. Highly recommend this route for anyone visiting Fukuoka/Oita!

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!

The Yufuin Forest Secret One-Day Tour is an absolute masterpiece of an itinerary, perfectly blending Kyushu's breathtaking nature, nostalgic charm, and otherworldly wonders into a seamless day. Starting in the beautiful mountain-ringed city of Yufu, you are immediately immersed in a scenic retreat where the streets are packed with fantastic local food and endless souvenir shops to explore. The romance of old Japan comes alive the moment you board the vintage green Yufuin No Mori express train to Oita, offering a beautifully nostalgic ride through rolling countryside. The adventure shifts into high gear at the Beppu Hell hot springs, where the striking, surreal contrast of the boiling cobalt-blue and fiery-red thermal waters feels like stepping onto another planet. Finally, wrapping up the day at the historic Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine provides a perfect, deeply peaceful cultural finale to an unforgettable journey. Kevin of JRT, arigato gozaimasu for being a wonderful tour guide!

We had a brief chat with the photographer before the shoot, and the meeting/pickup process was very straightforward! The photographer was patient and meticulous in helping our family of three take photos, guiding our poses and expressions. Our four-year-old son is quite active and a bit difficult to cooperate with, but the photographer used various methods to engage him in the photos! We received the photos back within two weeks, and they are beautiful. Thank you so much! 10/10!!
