Highly recommended tour! It is not one of those rushed bus tours where you just breeze through; it actually leaves you with free time to explore on your own (about two hours of free time in Yufuin, though it is so rich in things to do that it is actually worth staying three to four hours. On the other hand, the Umi Jigoku [Sea Hell] was just ordinary, so I docked a few points for the itinerary arrangement). Our tour guide, Eiichi, was very professional and struck just the right balance with the pacing of the commentary. Whenever he noticed people were getting tired, he would pause appropriately, and whenever he saw everyone was interested, he would share a bit more background story. There happened to be a mobility-impaired member in our group, and aside from proactively helping to load and unload the wheelchair, he managed the timing and group gathering very well, so we never felt like we were waiting too long for settling in. The fried chicken, Mentaiko bread, and matcha soft-serve ice cream he recommended were truly delicious!

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.

I am glad the tour guide assigned in our trip was Daisy. She was the same guide we had last year in our Mt. Aso tour. As before, she was very nice, insightful, and helpful. She provided relevant information and information and concern to the tour participants. We had ample time to explore Beppu m.

Our day tour to Dazaifu, Yufuin, Kamado Jigoku, and Umi Jigoku was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, shop, and truly enjoy each stop. A special thanks to our tour guide, Vivian, for making the experience even more memorable. She shared interesting stories and historical facts about every place we visited, which made us appreciate each destination on a deeper level. Her instructions were always clear, and she managed the schedule efficiently, ensuring we had enough free time while keeping the tour running smoothly. Vivian also went the extra mile by recommending local specialties and must-try food, helping us make the most of our visit. Her friendliness, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone in the group made the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fukuoka and Beppu. If you get Vivian as your guide, you’re in excellent hands!

I really enjoyed the tour today! 🥰 It was such a meaningful experience, especially since I almost missed it! A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aida, for coming back to pick me up and giving me a few extra minutes. 🥹❤️ If you’re taking this tour, make sure you’re on time! Yufuin Village was absolutely beautiful and had so many shops and things to explore, especially along the alley leading to Yufuin Station. My eyes were literally “drooling” from all the beautiful things I saw! 😍✨ Thank you, Aida, for making the experience even more special! 💕

The tour did not feel rushed. Just the right pace for people who like to visit multiple spots. Our tour guide, Ms. Nicole, was also very warm and approachable. She even sent us files of recommended stores to visit and food to try both in Hakata and within the area where we had our tour. She also speaks good english. I am a solo traveler but I did not feel left out on this tour. Ms. Nicole even offered to take my photos but I'm shy so I refused. 😆 Overall, this tour is highly recommended. Arigato gozaimasu! 🇯🇵

Without clouds, stargazing is much clearer, and you can even see shooting stars! Actually, local guesthouses and hotels offer this excursion with hotel pickup by the guide. If you use Klook, however, you have to wait at an abandoned station, leaving you totally confused because they don't notify or contact you in advance about whether the tour is actually running.
