Dazaifu

Prohlídku jsme si opravdu užili. Byla velmi poučná, Nicole nám přiblížila tradice a kulturu zejména ve svatyni Dazaifu. Jezero Kirin je naprosto kouzelné. Jen bychom si přáli, abychom na každém místě měli více času a mohli si ho v klidu užít.

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.

Náš celodenní výlet do Dazaifu, Yufuin, Kamado Jigoku a Umi Jigoku byl jedním z vrcholů naší cesty do Japonska. Itinerář byl dobře naplánovaný a poskytl nám dostatek času na prozkoumání, fotografování, nakupování a skutečné užití si každé zastávky. Zvláštní poděkování patří naší průvodkyni Vivian, která zážitek učinila ještě nezapomenutelnějším. Sdílela zajímavé příběhy a historická fakta o každém místě, které jsme navštívili, což nám pomohlo ocenit každou destinaci na hlubší úrovni. Její pokyny byly vždy jasné a efektivně řídila harmonogram, čímž zajistila dostatek volného času a zároveň udržela plynulý průběh prohlídky. Vivian se také snažila navíc tím, že doporučovala místní speciality a jídla, která musíte ochutnat, čímž nám pomohla co nejlépe využít naši návštěvu. Její přátelskost, profesionalita a skutečná péče o každého ve skupině učinily celou cestu příjemnou a bez stresu. Důrazně doporučujeme každému, kdo navštíví Fukuoku a Beppu. Pokud dostanete Vivian jako průvodkyni, jste v těch nejlepších rukou!

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!

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.

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!

Dnešní prohlídku jsem si opravdu užil! 🥰 Byl to velmi smysluplný zážitek, zejména proto, že jsem ji málem zmeškal! Velké díky našemu úžasnému průvodci Aida za to, že se pro mě vrátil a dal mi pár minut navíc. 🥹❤️ Pokud se na tuto prohlídku chystáte, ujistěte se, že dorazíte včas! Vesnice Jufuin byla naprosto nádherná a měla tolik obchodů a věcí k prozkoumání, zejména podél uličky vedoucí k nádraží Jufuin. Oči mi doslova přecházely z toho množství krásných věcí, které jsem viděl! 😍✨ Děkuji, Aido, že jsi tento zážitek udělala ještě výjimečnějším! 💕

Our tour guide Ryou was the best! My friend and I mistakenly booked the Chinese tour and we're the only non-Chinese speakers in the group, but Ryou was kind enough to translate everything to us in English. She explained each site/area very well and provided clear instructions. She was very accommodating and enthusiatic the entire time. The tour went smoothly and we had enough time to explore each area, and we even got back to Hakata station earlier than expected. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

The one-day tour from Kumamoto was very pleasant, and we were part of a small group of 7 people. The scenery at Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine was beautiful, the views in Kugino were expansive, and Kurokawa Onsen was also impressive; two hours there felt just right. Our tour guide, Ge Ning, was very friendly, and the driver was also thoughtful, dropping off and picking up passengers at convenient locations.
