prefektura Fukuoka

The staff was very friendly, spoke good English, and directed everything clearly. Many of the pigs were very friendly and immediately came up to me to crawl up and lay down on me. The staff gave me a blanket so the pigs wouldn’t dirty my clothes, which was nice, but some pigs decided they liked curling up under the blanket. Of course, I wasn’t bothered by that so I didn’t try to stop them, but the staff did proactively try to prevent it in case I did mind. Very professional staff and very cute pigs! They also have promos inside if you follow their Instagram. The building itself you have to go follow the signs and then take an elevator to the marked floor, but it was easy to follow even without speaking any Japanese.

Bylo těžké najít cestu do kavárny, protože se nachází v malé budově v malé ulici bez výrazné dominanty. Ani dotazování kolemjdoucích nepomohlo, protože se zdálo, že neznají polohu podle názvu ulice nebo budovy. K nalezení cesty bylo nutné spolehnout se na GPS. Pokud máte rezervaci v této kavárně, je vhodné jít tam dříve, abyste našli cestu. Znalost angličtiny u služebných je velmi nízká. Někdy je nutné spoléhat se na překladatelskou aplikaci. Zážitek mohl být lepší, kdyby poskytovali instrukce v angličtině a japonštině na kartičkách, aby služebné mohly ukázat na větu, kterou chtějí sdělit zahraničním zákazníkům, když to bude potřeba. Celkový zážitek byl i přes jazykovou bariéru stále uspokojivý. Služebné dobře tančily a udržovaly se mnou interakci, i když se nedokázaly dobře domluvit anglicky.

Fukuoka objevujeme poprvé a máme úžasný zážitek z návštěvy hory Aso, oblasti Kusasenri a nádherné soutěsky Takachiho. Také bychom chtěli poděkovat našemu velmi zkušenému průvodci, Adovi Wongovi, za to, jak byl během celého jednodenního zájezdu ochotný a profesionální. Na naší příští rodinné dovolené se určitě podíváme na nabídku zájezdů od Klooku. Ještě jednou díky, Klooku!!

Tour guide Ms. Kong was humorous, engaging, and very knowledgeable about local customs and traditions. The driver was extremely polite and friendly, and greeted every passenger each time we got off the bus! Everything has returned to normal following the Kumamoto earthquakes! Sightseeing and tourism are completely fine, there aren't many tourists, and the attractions are very pleasant to walk around. Joining a day tour when traveling independently allows you to visit many places that are inconvenient to reach by public transportation! The itinerary was Aso Kusasenri -> Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine -> Takachiho Torokko Train -> Takachiho Gorge stroll. The Takachiho Torokko Train requires an additional payment of 2,300 yen per person! The weather was still quite hot in late October, so everything was lush and green, but the local scenery was great to see! Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine was my absolute favorite—it has such an amazing atmosphere!

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.

Měli jsme KC jako průvodkyni pro náš výlet, je úžasná, mluví mnoha jazyky a velmi dobře zná Fukuoka i okolí. Myslím, že je také milovnicí jídla, dala nám skvělá doporučení na místa, kam zajíst během našeho pobytu ve městě. Bohužel se naše prohlídka konala v deštivém dni, ale KC a náš řidič autobusu udělali maximum, aby nám ukázali, co v takové situaci dělat.

Výlet byl úžasný, opravdu jsme si ho užili a měli jsme velmi přátelského průvodce! Zde je několik tipů pro budoucí návštěvníky, aby zažili to nejlepší: 1. Vezměte si s sebou jídlo a něco k pití, před výletem se zastavte v obchodě Konbini. Během výletu sice jsou možnosti stravování, ale dostanete se k nim až hodně pozdě, čeká vás 2,5 hodiny jízdy autem a někdy je to ve spěchu. 2. Doporučuji neplánovat si nic hned po výletu, vrátili jsme se docela pozdě. 3. Nezapomeňte si knihu na razítka. 4. Vezměte si dostatek hotovosti. 5. Věci, které během prohlídky památek nepotřebujete, můžete nechat v autobuse, celý den jezdíte stejným autobusem.

We arrived early at the Kumamoto Station Shinkansen West Exit to meet up. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, came over to gather the group. Since we were carrying luggage and planning to leave the tour in Kurokawa, the guide proactively asked if we had already arranged our hotel pick-up and drop-off. Although we could have arranged it ourselves, he went ahead and did it for us. Since Kurokawa has multiple parking lots, as a tourist, it would have been difficult to clearly communicate the exact pick-up spot with the hotel. Thumbs up for the guide's thoughtfulness! It was a gorgeous sunny day, and every scenic spot made for great photos. As a tourist, the experience was fantastic. Guide Sun also helped take photos for everyone, kept the commentary along the way witty and humorous, took meticulous care of us, and reminded us in advance of important points to keep in mind during the sightseeing. This trip is a great one-day tour option, much more convenient than planning and executing it yourself, and I highly recommend it!

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.
