Hitome Hakkei & Keisekien & Kyusui-kei & Kokonoe Yume Grand Suspension Bridge Maple Viewing Day Trip (From Fukuoka)

November 14th Maple Leaf Viewing Tour, the weather was nice and relatively cool but not too cold. I'm so happy we could already see the red leaves. Instead of completely red leaves, we could see a variety of colors (red, yellow, green). The driver was also the tour guide, very kind, and gave a simple introduction to each attraction. He even went to see them in person 2 days beforehand to tell us if there were any red leaves to see. The itinerary arrangement was also very good, each attraction had generally enough time, and there were rest stops on the long round trip, so no worries about finding a restroom. The other tour members were also very good, everyone returned before the time the guide specified, so we were on time to the next stop. But because it was a weekday, there was some traffic (understandably uncontrollable), so it's recommended to make dinner reservations that evening. Overall, the entire trip was very good, especially recommended for those with children or elders.

What made the tour nice is the fall foliage. I was the only English speaking person in the group. Everyone was Chinese. The driver/guide spkoe in Chinese and with me, he points what direction to go and say time tom be back at bus. I managed.

The tour guide is very professional and can flexibly adjust the route during peak hours to avoid a lot of traffic and waiting time. The time reserved for the attractions is just right. The scenery is beautiful and highly recommended.

The maple leaves weren't very red yet, but it was still satisfying. The traffic jam was a bit of a delay to the itinerary. The driver/guide was also working hard to introduce the scenic spots and features to everyone. We had a pleasant day. It would have been better if the car seats were a bit wider.

Grateful to see the beautiful maple leaves 🍁. This maple viewing trip was ideally arranged. Thank you to our leader, Xiao Chang, for recommending the best photo spots and also recommending the delicious food at each attraction, giving us very wonderful memories.

It would be ideal if the admission tickets could be included in the itinerary to get a group discount, and if a large bus could be arranged for transportation. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing day. Thank you to the driver and tour guide for leading and explaining.

The driver was on time to pick up guests. He was a safe driver and expertly navigated a narrow road to accommodate a large truck. He communicated mostly in Chinese but spoke enough English for me. He also knew to go to the Bridge first because in the afternoon the weather would have obstructed the spectacular views. There was ample time at each destination and the autumn colors were gorgeous. 🍁 I feel like the tour was an excellent value and I would recommend it to anyone.

This day trip was the most satisfying of the four days. The seats in the car were very comfortable, and the maple leaves at the scenic spots were lush. Mr. Chang was the driver and tour leader, and he gave clear explanations of the scenic spots.

The scenery is beautiful, but many of the autumn leaves have already fallen, which is a bit disappointing.

I participated in the tour on November 22nd. The tour guide's explanations were great that day, and they recommended a lot of delicious food. The scenery was also very beautiful, making it worth participating.
