Things to do in Fukuoka Prefecture

First and foremost, it is a looong bus ride - almost 8 hours back and forth - but the experience was truly exhilarating. The driver was very good and Riku, our guide, was excellent! Knd, clear and entertaining, he made sure everyone was ok. Important to note there is no restroom in the bus, but there will be appropriate service stops on the way. Also, there’s a lot of downhill and uphill walking at the gorge. Exhausting lovely day out!

Alex was an excellent guide. He sent an email reminder with pickup details and photos the day before, and also messaged me on WhatsApp, which was very helpful. He checked me in at the Lawson next to Hakata Station, showed me my seat and bus number, and created a very welcoming atmosphere while explaining everything clearly in English and Chinese. Stops included the railway (extra 2,000 yen with tickets arranged in advance), lunch and the shrine, and Takachiho Gorge. The boat ride gets you close to the waterfall but can be a bit hard to control, and the walk back uphill takes about 30 minutes. At the end, Alex even gave everyone a souvenir! I highly recommend Alex and this tour if you love Japan’s natural beauty.

Wonderful place, the tour was in Chinese (I don't speak Chinese) but the guide helped me a lot to understand everything. We couldn't visit the crater due to an accident so we went to a temple instead, equally beautiful.

Our tour guide from GoGoDay Guide madam Lui, was very informative and engaging.She checked to ensure that everyone in the group following and provided food recommendations. she speaks in Korean language and Chinese language.

Sun was a very informative guide and I learned alot .The castle is impressive and well worth visiting but the view from the Aso plains is amazing.Such a strange landscape I would highly recommend this trip.

Our Guide - Thomas, is very nice and informative. He helped most of us to take pictures and are able to give us good recommendations around the areas of visit. although due to bad weather, we are unable to visit the Shiraitono falls but we are provided with alternative routes which didnt dampen the mood and tour.

A lot of fun. The best dolphin show I have seen in a long time. Also the Penguin Parade was super cute. Can really get up close to the sea animals there. The dolphin training show was very unique. Easy to find and got there by train. Just a really nice, fun day!

Booking through Klook was a breeze. We just showed our QR code at the counter and swapped it for physical tickets in seconds—much faster than waiting in the regular queue! ​The tower itself is stunning, especially the "triangular" architecture. We went just before sunset, and seeing the city lights meet the Hakata Bay coastline was a highlight of our trip. There are plenty of Instagrammable spots inside (especially the "Lover’s Sanctuary" and the glow-in-the-dark floor). It’s a must-visit to get your bearings of the city. Highly recommend grabbing tickets here to save time!

So much fun! Considering that six years ago, during a company trip, a large group of us were crammed into one boat, this time for our family trip, we specifically chose a private boat tour, which offered plenty of space. The scenery along the Yanagawa River is beautiful, and the gentle breeze made for a leisurely and pleasant experience. The boatman was handsome and provided excellent service. With only six people on the boat, there was ample space. Watching the fishermen jump on and off the boat was entertaining. Noticing children on board, in addition to singing folk songs, the boatman specially sang Doraemon and Momotaro songs, which delighted both children and adults, creating a fulfilling emotional experience. The boatman also pointed out nearby landmarks, historical sites, and the famous eel rice restaurants along the riverbank. My family was very satisfied with and loved this trip. I highly recommend booking a private boat when visiting Yanagawa so you can truly experience the leisure and beauty of a Yanagawa boat tour, with the entire boat just for your family, making it easier to take photos.
