Momochi Seaside Park tours

Participating in this Kyushu day tour, I was deeply impressed by the professional performance of our tour guide, Coco Kinzan. The itinerary covered the Takachiho Railway, Takachiho Gorge, and Amano Iwato Shrine. Coco Kinzan introduced the unique features of each attraction clearly and thoroughly, and supplemented the information with local culture and mythological backgrounds, making the entire trip more informative and engaging. Her management of the schedule, reminders for meeting times, and care for the group members were also very thoughtful. The arrangements were well-organized, ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Overall, this was a smooth and pleasant experience, and I truly felt her professionalism and passion for service. I sincerely recommend Coco Kinzan; she is an excellent and trustworthy tour guide.

Our tour guide, Kevin, is very experienced and responsible. He goes above and beyond to satisfy everyone in the group. Attentive and reliable, this is definitely a day tour worth joining!

Guide was friendly and to the point. Niki castle was overrated for me- had empty rooms inside which made no sense to me. Kinkaku-ji is a must do in Kyoto, Aarishyama area and Fushimi Inari were superb too. my parents don’t walk a lot but they were able to do this comfortably in the time that we had each place. we just went to the start point for Fushimi inari. For aarishiyama do take the bamboo route and then enter the Tenryu-ji temple from back gate- it cut downs the walking and the temple has a lovely garden

Our guide was amazing. she was knowledgeable and super sweet. There were just enough informations and fun facts that she curated about each sumo. she highlighted some popular sumos among viewers and reminded us of when they are on stage. this has got to be one of the highlights of my trip. we got super lucky with the place and timing. My husband and I enjoyed every bit and learning about sumo wrestling. The meeting point may be a bit confusing but we got there about 15mins early to leave wiggle room. ☺️

Masami was very thorough in explaining the characteristics and historical stories of each attraction, and she answered almost every question. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in the future.

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.

Kevin is the best guide! Super enthusiastic and accommodating, lovely and super funny! Also very sexy 😜This tour is super laid-back and all the destinations were carefully planned and thought of and not in a rush/cramped.

Excellent organization and service. We saw a lot of things, and the guide was great. I highly recommend it.
