Kitakyushu

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! 🙌👍👍

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!

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 activity was definitely worth it! Since we were traveling independently and wanted to visit Motonosumi Shrine, joining this one-day tour made things much more convenient. We were very lucky to have Jimmy as our guide on this trip. His initial self-introduction on the bus immediately livened up the atmosphere and had everyone laughing heartily. Since there were also foreigners on the tour, he spoke both Mandarin and English, which was excellent and easy to understand. I'd also like to commend the driver's excellent skills; although the journey was a bit long, we rested very comfortably. The only slight disappointment on this trip was that when we reached the mountain, the fog was too thick, so we couldn't really see the scenery. I look forward to coming back next time to see the beautiful views!

Best day tour ever. Our tour guide Sun was so friendly and easy to talk. He explained everything about the places we visited even recommended other places around Fukuoka. He is such a fun and cheerful person. I’m so happy we met him. The places we visited were beautiful. Motonosumi Shrine was my dream to see it, and it didn’t disappoint. The other places were also amazing especially the Tsunoshima bridge. I highly recommend this day tour. It was perfectly organized.

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!

Za prvé, průvodkyně Xiaomin byla velmi pečlivá a zodpovědná, snažila se postarat o každého hosta. Když pršelo, báli jsme se, že to bude kluzké a nebudeme moci sejít po kamenných schodech k focení torii. Xiaomin si toho všimla, okamžitě nás navedla a osobně se vrátila, aby nás provedla jinou, snadno schůdnou cestou. Byla velmi proaktivní a vůbec se neflákala. Dále je třeba pochválit, že si všimla, jak jeden pár z naší skupiny „zabral“ místo k focení na velmi dlouhou dobu, což způsobilo dlouhou frontu. Xiaomin je aktivně popohnala, aby se každý mohl vyfotit. Co se týče obsahu itineráře: Celý itinerář měl 3 body, které byly poměrně zklamáním. 1 – Příliš brzký oběd. Snídali jsme v 8 hodin ráno a v 10:30-11:00 jsme už byli v Ichiranu a jedli znovu. Navíc jsme v Ichiranu strávili příliš mnoho času a nebylo tam nic moc k prohlížení. 2 – Yanagawa, lodník byl skvělý a uměl vytvořit dobrou atmosféru, ale bohužel tehdy velmi silně pršelo. Jet 1,5 hodiny autem tam a zpět se nevyplatilo. Doporučuji upravit itinerář podle intenzity deště, a ne podle toho, zda je lodní společnost ochotna vyplout. 3 – Doba pobytu v Dazaifu byla pouhá 1 hodina. Vystoupit z autobusu – toaleta – Ume-ga-e mochi – prohlédnout si 2-3 malé obchody – vrátit se do autobusu. Cestovali jsme s rodiči, takže jsme nešli rychle, a vůbec jsme neměli dostatek času jít do chrámu. Báli jsme se, že to nestihneme, takže jsme se otočili na konci ulice a neodvážili se jít dál. V Dazaifu jsou ve skutečnosti kavárny a malé obchody, osobně si myslím, že by se dalo dát 1,5-2 hodiny, koneckonců na focení torii bylo vyhrazeno 30 minut. Celých 60 minut v Dazaifu je prostě příliš málo.

A day full of interesting places, prepare for a long drive though..and bring food with you if you can, lots of them..The shrine is pretty but I love the stay at Moriko Port. This is a good value for money, thanks Nicole for a well organised trip..you’re English is good!

view is panoramic 😍 take the mini train, it’s kinda fun. on your way back remember to pay attention to a small volcano, it looks like a pudding 🍮 ning ning has been such a sweet and passionate tour guide. we really love her ❤️ she’s the one who made the journey great.
