Things to do in Shimonoseki

Lucky to have a cheerful, professional and experienced tour guide Allan who was originally from Malaysia I was told. He managed to keep the time very well, keep everyone in the 34 people group together and adhere to the sightseeing programme as described. He’s English was good and humorous. Thanks, Allan.

This activity was definitely worth it! Since we were traveling independently and wanted to visit Motonosumi Shrine, joining this one-day tour made things much more convenient. We were very lucky to have Jimmy as our guide on this trip. His initial self-introduction on the bus immediately livened up the atmosphere and had everyone laughing heartily. Since there were also foreigners on the tour, he spoke both Mandarin and English, which was excellent and easy to understand. I'd also like to commend the driver's excellent skills; although the journey was a bit long, we rested very comfortably. The only slight disappointment on this trip was that when we reached the mountain, the fog was too thick, so we couldn't really see the scenery. I look forward to coming back next time to see the beautiful views!

Best day tour ever. Our tour guide Sun was so friendly and easy to talk. He explained everything about the places we visited even recommended other places around Fukuoka. He is such a fun and cheerful person. I’m so happy we met him. The places we visited were beautiful. Motonosumi Shrine was my dream to see it, and it didn’t disappoint. The other places were also amazing especially the Tsunoshima bridge. I highly recommend this day tour. It was perfectly organized.

I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Kevin, was excellent. He speaks English, Chinese, and Japanese. Luckily, he spoke English, as I don't understand Chinese. This route involves a long journey, and some spots are not accessible if you travel independently, so this day trip is essential to reach the shrine. The scenic views are absolutely beautiful; I highly recommend visiting. I think it's even more stunning than Hakodate. It would be even better if we could have stayed to see it at night.

nice spacious Toyota bus, bery efficient driver, valuable additions to our itinerary, good puck-ups after visiting sevetal venues, so over all very satisfied!

This is an easy, chill tour. You have time to see the sights, take good photos, eat or shop a bit. Akiyoshido Caves were beautiful. Our guide, Jyo, was very friendly and gave us good tips on where to take the best photos and eat some good local specialties.

We really liked Tour Guide Xiao Tan; her service was thoughtful and attentive. Our family had both elderly members and young children, and she always made sure we kept up. She would lead other tourists to the designated spot, then come back to help us buy tickets, explain history, and describe the scenery along the way in great detail. She also reminded us where to buy souvenirs. We were very lucky to have her! 👍

Bai was helpful and on time. He gave advice to maximize time.

Thanks to guide Bae Tae-kwon, I had the trip of a lifetime! He pointed out the best and most affordable restaurants at Karato Market, so I got to enjoy delicious food at places even locals line up for. He also showed us an efficient route from Tanga Market to the arcade and Kokura Castle, allowing us to make the most of our sightseeing. His easy and entertaining explanations of Dazaifu Tenmangu's historical background made it more than just a simple tour. Furthermore, he kindly assisted me with personal hotel matters, which was a huge help since I don't speak Japanese. Despite my initial worries about the rain, it turned out to be a wonderful trip, all thanks to guide Bae Tae-kwon. For anyone visiting Fukuoka, I highly recommend this tour!
