This was my first time participating in a skiing activity, and the overall experience was great. The day before the trip started, the instructor will send you an email. Remember to check your inbox, as it will contain a brief description of the itinerary and the LINE and WhatsApp links for the instructor and team leader. You can ask questions there if you have any. Regarding equipment, if you are a beginner who doesn't have any ski equipment, the instructor will offer goggles for rent on the way to the ski resort. Headbands, gloves, and long socks are also available for purchase by group members. If you need any of the above equipment, you can take this opportunity to stock up. I think it's very considerate and the cost is not expensive. In terms of teaching, instructors YU YU and JIMMY can communicate in Chinese or English without any problems, and they are also very enthusiastic in their teaching. As a skiing novice, I quickly got started, and was able to safely experience the entire beginner course in a very short time. I am very grateful to them.

the cave is something that you definitely have to experience in person for yourself! impressive sight. also, do try the burdock noodles right outside the cave! it was the best thing i ate on my trip. the view of the sea was more stunning than the torii gates imo, and the bridge wasnt too special. my guide was helpful and offered to help take photos, and seemed like a nice person, which i really do appreciate. however, it was hard to find the tour group at the gathering point and you have to ask around to find your guide. it also felt like the guide was overwhelmed by the large tour group size, especially when guide’s chinese is noticeably better than english. i could understand both languages, so it was clear when some info wasnt mentioned in english, and i felt bad for the english-only speakers on the tour.

This is the kind of one-day trip you would want to take when you’re not driving and want to visit places with stunning views. The tour guide is friendly and knowledgeable. She shared recommendations on arrival at each location and simply lets you enjoy the time (around an hour at each spot). As a solo female traveller, I can safely take a nap while transferring to the next location, without fear of missing a bus or train back to the city.

This trip was with family and one child, departing from Fukuoka. Our tour guide, LINA, was very considerate, arranging our seats in the front row (because we had a child) and caring for all the tour members. She diligently introduced the attractions and shared about life in Japan 🇯🇵 along the way, allowing tour members to gain a deeper understanding. The itinerary was packed, starting from Mojiko (architecture with a retro style), a 5-minute boat ride to the lively Karato Market (eating tempura 🍤 and sashimi), Kokura Castle (magnificent architecture, moat, and beautiful red maple leaves along the way), Miyajidake Shrine ⛩️ (the seasonal Path of Light is very beautiful). It was a very fulfilling trip, and my family was very satisfied. I would definitely join again if I have the opportunity. It was fantastic! 👏👏👏

This trip to Kitakyushu's Mojiko and Tsunoshima was very smooth and full of unique experiences. The tour guide not only knew the opening time of the Blue Wing Mojiko drawbridge, saving us a long wait, but also thoughtfully arranged visits to the Mojiko Retro area and Karato Market, allowing us to eat and explore. The meal choices were a big plus, whether it was the unique baked curry from Curry Honpo or the pufferfish dishes at Karato Market, both were very memorable. The timing for visiting the Tsunoshima Bridge and Motonosumi Shrine was also perfect, with weather and lighting ideal for taking photos. Overall, the tour guide was friendly and attentive, with clear explanations, making the trip both relaxing and fulfilling. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Thanks to Ada, our guide, her kindness and consideration made what I thought would be a difficult trip today, so happy and enjoyable. I was worried about the sudden rain and cold, but I had much more fun than I thought. Thank you so much for always being smiling and taking good care of us so that we were not uncomfortable. And thank you to the driver who helped with the driving for dropping us off safely until the end.

A huge thank you to our tour guide, Selina! She gave us a detailed introduction to all the day's attractions at the start of the tour. Throughout the trip, she kindly pointed out worthwhile sights and delicious places to eat. She took meticulous and thoughtful care of each member of the group. The schedule was also well-managed, and she even recommended great places to eat, shop, and explore near the station at the end. Thanks to her, we had a very fulfilling and wonderful day! 😃

Good trip with good itinerary and guide! At first I didnt even realized we were going to Honshu. Glad we did. Wonderful places otherwise I wouldnt have seen. Maybe since it was a long drive up north of Kyushu I would have added a stop on one of the north cities of Kyushu like Kitakyushu sites. Our tour Cary was very nice and attentive and gave a lot of information. It was a wonderful day.
