I love this tour because it's not as crowded even with the event in Karato Market. The fresh seafood is a must try. Highlight of our trip is the shrine with 123 torii gates. You can also see Busan from afar. In addtion the slope cable car is a nice experience too because it will let you admire the view from the cable car to the top of mt sarakura. I also appreciate Nicole/Yang for being patient and so accommodating. Thank you.

5/5 – Amazing Tour with Sun!
My friends and I had such a great experience on this tour thanks to our guide, Sun. From the moment the tour started, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to follow. Sun explained the history and and facts about each destination on the itinerary in a way that was both interesting and fun, and he always made sure everyone felt comfortable and included.
He also went above and beyond — giving great local recommendations, helping with photos, and answering all our random questions with patience. All of our good group photos were taken by him!
If you’re visiting Japan and want a guide who’s kind, organized, and passionate, I highly recommend Sun. This tour was definitely a highlight of my trip!

Certainly I enjoyed the trip. Guide Ella and the bus driver are both professional in their work. Ella is well-informed, speaks clearly in chinese and English and knows how to ensure the group keep on time. She balances storytelling, history, and practical tips perfectly. Recommend to take her trip.

A day trip to Mojiko and Karato Market is the perfect experience. The itinerary's timing is just right, from a leisurely stroll through the market, soaking up the lively atmosphere, to tasting local delicacies, every moment is pleasant and unhurried. Our tour guide, Ms. Zhang (Ms. Tajima), was a highlight of the trip. Her gentle and polite demeanor, along with her beaming smile, made us feel welcomed. She is proficient in multiple languages and provides accurate explanations for different tourists. Whether it's historical anecdotes or culinary culture, she explains everything in a vivid and interesting way. Her management of the group is also excellent, ensuring the entire trip is well-organized and that everyone can fully enjoy the journey. This trip not only provided wonderful memories but also made us feel professionalism and warmth.

I love how the tour guide, Ella was very informative and always willing to help and answer all out question. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants a well organized trip. All the sites we went were all very nice. I especially love the cave experience plus the bunos sunset view of the Japan sea on our way back to Hakata.

The itinerary was very full and the tour guide, Wendy, flexibly arranged each activity, allowing us to fully enjoy every attraction. It's amazing that the tour guide speaks Cantonese! Based on our language, she also specifically arranged seating for us and detailed everything we needed to be aware of. We are so grateful to have met such a perfect tour guide who wholeheartedly took care of each of us!

A huge thank you to our tour guide, Selina! She gave us a detailed introduction to all the day's attractions at the start of the tour. Throughout the trip, she kindly pointed out worthwhile sights and delicious places to eat. She took meticulous and thoughtful care of each member of the group. The schedule was also well-managed, and she even recommended great places to eat, shop, and explore near the station at the end. Thanks to her, we had a very fulfilling and wonderful day! 😃
