Things to do in Hakata Station

This was a fantastic tour and my tour guide Xiao Cui was wonderful! There were so many cool stops and he made sure everyone got their picutures and walked around to see if you needed anything at each location. I highly recommend for a full day of exploration!

Several of the attractions are natural energy spots, lush with green trees, perfect for breathing in fresh air and clearing your mind, while also learning about the origins of Japanese mythology. Getting to these spots from Fukuoka isn't very convenient, so this tour was a huge help, and the itinerary was very well-planned. Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine is integrated with nature, surrounded by greenery, much like a place where forest spirits from Princess Mononoke might appear. Amano Iwato Shrine and Amano Yasukawara tell the story of how eight million gods lured Amaterasu Omikami out of hiding. Takachiho Gorge is where the young deity Ninigi-no-Mikoto descended to Ashihara no Nakatsukuni (the Central Land of Reed Plains), and the air there feels divine, inspiring awe. Be prepared for some physical exertion, as there are stairs and hills to climb, but it's definitely worth the effort! Our tour leader, Zheng Yu, switched effortlessly between Chinese and Korean, providing thoughtful guidance and clear instructions. He clearly communicated the meeting times for each stop in advance and also informed us that there wouldn't be a dedicated lunch break, so we'd need to eat during our free time. He also pointed out convenient dining spots. It felt like the time allotted for each location was just right, never rushed. At the end, he even gave us Takachiho Gorge's specialty steamed buns as souvenirs. Despite being the rainy season, it didn't rain, and the weather was incredibly cooperative. Our tour leader was very organized, and our fellow travelers were very nice. It was an excellent experience! Many thanks! 🙏

This project is a highly valuable and worthwhile itinerary. I had originally read online that Kumamoto Castle might be closed for maintenance, but luckily, we were able to visit! The ginkgo and cherry trees were truly beautiful. The timing was just right; if you want to eat and shop, you need to move quickly and take fewer photos to have a chance to try everything. The tempura was incredibly delicious and a must-try; it was sold alongside the bear-shaped cakes, and both were tasty and adorable. Aso Volcano, however, was a shame... we couldn't visit due to a red alert, which was the only disappointment. Our tour guide mentioned that it's very rare for Aso Volcano to be on a green alert, and even they couldn't predict the timing. The scenery was truly beautiful. Oh, and definitely bring a windbreaker! We thought it wouldn't be cold, but we were absolutely freezing. You should also try the coffee, and if you want to experience buying a lucky bag in Japan, you can grab one. The lucky bags contain a selection of the store's key items, so if you don't want to pick out souvenirs, you can just buy a lucky bag; it has plenty of things to give as gifts! It's excellent value for money, though it did rain a few times and disrupted things. There's also a supermarket where you should definitely buy things if you can. The Aso Musume strawberries are very popular, but they are incredibly sweet and delicious, not sour at all, with a fragrant strawberry aroma. There are other varieties of strawberries too, and the prices are all fantastic!

This was my first time participating in a Klook tour, and our guide, Hedy, was fantastic. She was humorous, friendly to children, and made the trip relaxing and enjoyable. She also shared local Fukuoka delicacies with us. The overall itinerary was excellent, and we wished it could have lasted longer. We had a full two hours in Yufuin, and although we didn't get to ride the jungle bus at Kyushu African Safari, we still saw wild animals up close from the tour bus. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends!

Really enjoyed this day tour! The itinerary covered pretty much all the places I wanted to visit. Having everything arranged made the whole day so much easier and less stressful. Eric, our tour guide, was also really helpful and made things even more convenient. One thing I really appreciated was that he helped us get the famous salt pudding because the queue could take up to an hour! Overall, I’m really happy I joined this tour. It was a fun and convenient way to see all the places I wanted to visit without having to figure out all the transportation ourselves. Definitely had a great day!

Our tour guide, Wang Qi, was excellent. He helped us find the best spots for photos and patiently took many pictures for each group. It was a shame that it rained on the day we went and Mount Aso was recently closed, but Takachiho and Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine were both wonderful.

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…

Lovely trip to beppu, safari and yufuin. enjoyed the adventure and ease of the trip. suspect that the guide was not feeling well, lacked enthusiasm.
