Things to do in Hakata Station

The tour was nice. We were able to cover everything. Our tour guide Jino, was so accommodating. He made sure our orders were all served. He helped us take photos and also checks on us from time to time, on how we are doing. I recommend this tour if you visit Fukuoka! 😊

Several of the attractions are natural energy spots, lush with green trees, perfect for breathing in fresh air and clearing your mind, while also learning about the origins of Japanese mythology. Getting to these spots from Fukuoka isn't very convenient, so this tour was a huge help, and the itinerary was very well-planned. Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine is integrated with nature, surrounded by greenery, much like a place where forest spirits from Princess Mononoke might appear. Amano Iwato Shrine and Amano Yasukawara tell the story of how eight million gods lured Amaterasu Omikami out of hiding. Takachiho Gorge is where the young deity Ninigi-no-Mikoto descended to Ashihara no Nakatsukuni (the Central Land of Reed Plains), and the air there feels divine, inspiring awe. Be prepared for some physical exertion, as there are stairs and hills to climb, but it's definitely worth the effort! Our tour leader, Zheng Yu, switched effortlessly between Chinese and Korean, providing thoughtful guidance and clear instructions. He clearly communicated the meeting times for each stop in advance and also informed us that there wouldn't be a dedicated lunch break, so we'd need to eat during our free time. He also pointed out convenient dining spots. It felt like the time allotted for each location was just right, never rushed. At the end, he even gave us Takachiho Gorge's specialty steamed buns as souvenirs. Despite being the rainy season, it didn't rain, and the weather was incredibly cooperative. Our tour leader was very organized, and our fellow travelers were very nice. It was an excellent experience! Many thanks! 🙏

This is my favorite theme park in Japan so far! Everything looked picturesque and it felt like being in Europe. The highlight for me was meeting Miffy and riding the canal cruise. Queue times are almost non existent because it's a big park with lots of activities to do. Besides the canal cruise, you can rent a bike or ride the bus for free.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Yufuin was charming, with its picturesque streets, lovely shops, and relaxing atmosphere. Shiraito Falls was equally beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and nature. Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) was another highlight, with its stunning cobalt-blue hot spring waters and unique volcanic scenery. Each destination offered something different and made the trip worthwhile. A special mention to our tour guide, Daisy, who truly made the experience even more enjoyable. She provided excellent explanations about the places we visited and was very lively, cheerful, and fun throughout the journey. She went the extra mile by taking photos for us, making sure we had wonderful memories to bring home. Her friendly personality and positive energy made the entire tour extra special. Everything was well organized, and we genuinely enjoyed every part of the trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fukuoka. Thank you, Daisy,for making this a memorable experience!

very good tour, very nice place, well arrangements, recommend join this tour, tour guide also very kind and helpful

This was a relaxing and happy trip for me and my family. Throughout the journey, we used the mobile app's descriptions and guided assistance, eliminating the need for a live tour guide. The tour bus driver reminded us to check in using our mobile phones, safely guided us to each attraction, and welcomed us politely. We could use the mobile app to record meeting locations and times, as well as view introductions to each attraction, including local food, shopping, and entertainment highlights. The mobile app also notified us of gathering times and provided clear map directions, ensuring we smoothly returned to the tour bus every time. There was no need to rent a car for Northern Kyushu; this time, the timing and itinerary arrangement with memo trip were excellent. Furthermore, the travel times were not too long, allowing us to rest on the tour bus between attractions, so we didn't feel exhausted even when touring into the evening. Back at the hotel at night, we could use the mobile app again to review the tour highlights, which deepened my understanding of the shrines. I experienced how a guide-free tour could create a sense of novelty while being completely safe and secure.

I give our tour guide Gloria and the driver a full score for this day trip! Although it rained all day and the itinerary mainly consisted of outdoor attractions, their professionalism, attentiveness, and dedication still allowed us to spend a pleasant and worry-free day. Before departure, Gloria clearly communicated the meeting time and location, itinerary, and lunch arrangements via WhatsApp, and thoughtfully provided clothing suggestions so we could prepare in advance. During the trip, she was always friendly, polite, and proactive. She carefully counted the number of people at every gathering to ensure no one was left behind, which was very reassuring. I especially appreciated that she prepared her own organized little notes for each attraction. The content was clear and thoughtful, showing that she had put a lot of thought into it beforehand. Even though she braved the wind and rain all day, she still kept a smile on her face the whole time, patiently accompanied the tour members, and even took the initiative to take pictures for everyone. This enthusiasm and sense of responsibility are truly commendable! Gloria's time management was also excellent. We were able to gather and depart on time at each stop, all the itinerary items were successfully completed, and we returned to Hakata before 6:00 PM. She is fluent in Cantonese, Japanese, English, and Mandarin, and was able to cater to the needs of tour members speaking different languages across two buses, demonstrating attentive service and absolute professionalism. In addition, I would like to express a special thank you to the driver. There were many winding mountain roads along the way, coupled with continuous rain, but the driver drove safely and steadily throughout the whole journey, making us feel at ease even when riding through the mountains on a rainy day. Although the weather was less than ideal, the dedication of Gloria and the driver added warmth to this journey and left us with wonderful memories. Sincere thanks to both of them for their efforts; they definitely deserve a five-star recommendation!

Guide Choo Choo was very kind and spoke Korean extremely well. The itinerary was packed with great sights! I was quite worried since I was traveling alone, but I had a wonderful and fun time.

We had a very great day tour with Jimmy. Jimmy is a very knowledgeable tour guide and he shared a lot of his life experiences with us throughout the tour.
