Reviews
Jason, our tour guide was wonderful as he tried his best to accommodate us best way possible. It was raining all day but everyone in the bus was very patient and coping. Strawberry tasting was a delight and next was to Kitakyushu to see the legendary samurai, the Kokura Castle. our final destination was to se the wisteria display at the Kawachi Garden. Because of the rainfall, it made this play that much more mysterious and enchanting. Everyone there was in awe including me and my 92 year old aunt. Thsnks again to Jason and to Klook for a great tour…
This was such a lovely day trip! The strawberry garden was fun and so delicious. The wisteria were amazing and beautiful, the castle was awesome. We also enjoyed the local shops.
relaxing and enjoyable trip. tour guide Ms. Okada Naoko was very helpful, cheerful and responsible. she also gave good recommendations for food options during the trip.
A group of about 30 people. Before departure, the tour leader company will be confirmed via email. This time it was his company. Our tour guide, Teddy, was very lovely. There was ample time at each attraction. Kawachi Fuji Garden is a must-visit!
the trip overall was great. however just a small feedback. The meetup details could have been a little more specific. example perhaps show picture of the flag or placard so we know what to lookout for. or perhaps contact us a day before via text or klook about the confirmation meetup details. but despite all that, everything else is smooth and enjoyable having ample time for each areas.
the tour is quite chill, given ample time for the places. Our guide Naoko-san is very cheerful and informative. theycalso help us take photos.
The tour guide and driver were also very good, but it was a bit difficult to find the group during the morning assembly, and with so many members, it felt a little chaotic. On April 28th, the wisteria was blooming beautifully! The crowds at Kawachi Fujien started to pick up, and one hour was too short. I recommend staying at Kawachi Fujien for at least 90 minutes to truly enjoy it. The overall itinerary was rich and varied; the strawberries were very sweet and delicious, and Kokura Castle was more fun than expected. Personally, I felt the shopping stop at Cosmo was unnecessary.
Joining this one-day tour saved a lot of time with round-trip transportation, especially when we arrived at the Kawachi Fuji Garden. Enjoying the flowers under the trellises was absolutely beautiful!
The local tour with tickets included was an excellent value. The English-Chinese translation was very helpful. I'm glad I got to participate in the consortium. The strawberries were very large, sweet, and juicy. Kokura Castle was very ancient and charming, with games, hands-on experiences, and self-service kimono rentals inside. Kawachi Fuji Garden was spectacular and beautiful; the timing was perfect!
the experience was nice and slow paced, quite to my liking. the tour guides and the bus driver were very accommodating. we had the entire strawberry farm to ourselves during our all-you-can-eat picking. no other groups were there yet coz we came earlier. too bad wisteria flowers weren't in full bloom yet when we visited, bad timing for me lol. however there were other types of beautiful flowers that I enjoyed seeing. and the scent the flowers gave, it's heaven to my senses. overall, the trip was good. hopefully I can come back again next time when the flowers arw fully bloomed. thanks to ms. yoko, ms. sawa and bus driver mr. honda. you all did a good job!
