Momochi Seaside Park tours

Was a fun day visiting Amanoiwato Shrine, Takachiho Railway and Takachiho Gorge. The best part of the tour was the Takachiho Gorge with the boat ride. And then Amanoiwato Shrine. The railway trolley experience isn’t a must as you have to keep seated and seating was a bit crowded. Wished there was more time to explore the Takachiho Gorge after the boat ride though. Overall was a great day. We had Jimmy as our guide, he’s funny and delivered great service for getting our boat ticket and railway tickets early so that we didn’t need to wait in line.

Itinerary: Nyoirin-ji Temple -> Kyushu Natural Animal Park -> Yufuin The frog decorations at Nyoirin-ji Temple are very unique, and they were also holding a wind chime festival, which was an extra highlight. However, there are a ton of mosquitoes here in the summer! Nyoirin-ji Temple is located in a rather remote area, so I probably wouldn't have come here if I wasn't on a day trip 🤣 The highlight of Kyushu Natural Animal Park is definitely the Jungle Bus. Unfortunately, the tour guide said that Jungle Bus tickets are very difficult to get, and they were already sold out early that day (we arrived around 11 am). Luckily, the tour guide took us into the natural ecological park in a tour bus, so we were still able to see the wild animals up close (although we couldn't feed them ourselves). However, the time allotted was a bit short. After getting off the tour bus, I only had time to feed the ponies and stand in line to hold the guinea pigs. I didn't have time to visit the other areas. Yufuin was more free-form, and the tour guide gave us a map and let us explore on our own. We ended up having lunch at a Japanese restaurant, where the fried chicken tempura was surprisingly delicious! However, we didn't arrive in Yufuin until almost 2 pm. If you get hungry easily, I recommend eating a hearty breakfast, or even buying some rice balls or sandwiches to eat on the bus.

Eli was a great guide, she was very helpful, had lots of information, she was very nice, friendly, great english, I have experienced other tours in the past and this was my favorite, definitely felt like a local and like going out with a friend, ahe was lovely and I fully recomend!!!!! I had an amazing time, she was also very flexible and asked if we liked the itinerary she created, amazing really!! so so happy for this experience!!

Originally, we received a notification stating that there might not be enough people to accommodate us, but we didn't receive a cancellation notice later. They arranged a comfortable bus with spacious seating and also helped arrange an itinerary suitable for a family of all ages. The tour guide was also very dedicated in their introduction, with plenty of emotional value and sharing. The whole trip is worth a 5-star rating haha 😊

Mr Zhang was our driver and the ride was really pleasant for elders, kids and adults. we took the Takachiho option with this private tour. Communication was easy and great! Thanks for the memories!

Really Enjoy the Day Tour, while going thru each places, also learning some knowledge with the tour guide. Walking thru Takachiho Gorge, seeing the place is Relaxing. Riding the Takachiho Amaterasu Railway, you can enjoy also the different views.

The itinerary was packed but not rushed, with plenty of time to explore each stop. My favorite part was definitely the zoo visit. The tour guide provided detailed explanations, and we could enjoy the scenery from the air-conditioned vehicle. It suddenly started raining heavily at Lake Kinrin as we were preparing to return, which highlighted the tour guide's attentiveness even more. He held an umbrella to pick up other tour members without umbrellas and escort them onto the bus. Absolutely fantastic!

Great walking tour with Bruce, very knowledgeable about Fukuoka. Friendly and easy going which made for an enjoyable day. Took us to some hidden gems, loved by all. Highly recommended this tour. Thanks Bruce.
