Full-Day Guided Tour of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and Lake Kinrin

Very relaxed free and easy trip! Personally recommend to skip Beppu ropeway when it’s rainy weather because the scenery would be too foggy. Be mindful if you love taking photos because time might be insufficient for lunch. Our female tour guide “Zhang Qin” is very helpful, enthusiastic and friendly. She had provided us a lot of information and guidances in the trip and also food recommendations for us to explore in the upcoming days!

Me and my friends went to this tour for our one whole day in Fukuoka, and it didn’t disappoint! We were able to go to the highlights of the tourist spots in Fukuoka, having ample time for each spot that we could take photos and explore freely. Our guide, Thomas was very helpful, showing and telling us tips left and right for a more efficient visit to each stop in the tour. Food recommendations, best toilets without queues, routes for explorations, you name it! He even sent out photos he took himself from his visits in the ropeway as digital postcards if we didn’t get the chance to take beautiful photos ourselves. (The last photo is his.) Overall, the experience was nothing short of perfect and we loved every minute of the tour 🤎

It was my and my friend's first time in Fukuoka and adding this day tour to our itinerary was the best decision ever! Despite the occasional rain, we still had a great time. The three destinations on this tour were among the most well-known spots in Fukuoka. Individually, it would have been a hassle, and more costly, to go to each one especially for first time travelers there. So, having a prepared ride made all the difference. Also, our guide, Lina, was so delightful and knowledgeable! She was funny and so nice; she took care of us beautifully. Our bus was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Being able to take naps while going to each destination was a plus for me. On the downside, I wish we had more time to spend on Dazaifu tenmagu temple because there were sooo many shops and restaurants we didn't get to explore. But, overall, I would highly recommend this tour, especially our guide Lina!

Despite the rain, we were able to do everything we wanted, and because of the rain, there weren't too many tourists, so we could stroll around comfortably. The meeting point outside Hakata Station was easy to find 👌 Our first stop was Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, where we walked in the rain the entire time. The main hall is under renovation for three years, so a temporary worship hall was built in front of it. Our second stop was originally to be the Beppu Ropeway, but it was closed due to heavy rain, so we went to Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) instead. The hot spring water here is as blue as the sea, and it's very beautiful 😚 There's also a Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell), where the hot spring water really looks like blood. If you brought a towel, there's a free foot bath here ✌ Our third stop was Yufuin and Lake Kinrin, a very beautiful hot spring town. The rain gradually stopped, and this place was so great for taking pictures and shopping! Gentlemen, please be careful! This is definitely a place where mothers, wives, and children will go crazy 😁 We returned to Hakata Station on time in the evening, and both guides were very dedicated and friendly 👍

茅蔚栋 was our tour guide, I have been on many guided tours and he is by far the best guide. He made a high effort to communicate with us in English, even though only 2 of us were non Mandarin speaking. Even after the tour, he stayed extra time to help everyone choose restaurant and tourism options. He was clear with his instructions, informative and thorough while maximizing customer fun and comfort.

The tour was amazing and beautiful. Lena, our tour guide, was extremely kind and knowledgeable. She gave great recommendations for food and snacks and drinks at the tour locations. I had such a fun time. The bus ride was also pleasant. Every location was such a sight to aee. I definitely recommend booking this tour if you're ever in Fukuoka. The tour guide was easy to find at the start and plenty of time to do your own thing was given at each location. This was a great highlight of my stay in Fukuoka.

our guide was amazing! she was very informative and helpful. she also had a lot of good jokes. the tour itself was perfect. they explain to you the expectations and what’s to come. once you arrive at one location they tell you a time we need to be back to the bus in order to make it to the next destination on time. it is very straight, I love how you can do things at your own pace and don’t feel too rushed. when you do arrive the guide shows you where a lot of the locations are and good photo and food recommendations. after she lets eveyone disperse and reminds you of the time to return. we go to see all of the locations and it was all on schedule. I highly recommend this tour. it’s great for the price as well.

highly recommend this tour as it is worth your money and the places were very pretty! if you visit, please try the ice cream (matcha and milk flavor were good) as well as the food stalls in yufuin! thanks to our guide helen who was very helpful and funny 🤍

I’ve enjoyed myself very much. there’s enough time at all the stops and the guide speaks pretty good English. she explains a lot in the bus so when you get to the stops you can just walk around and explore. the guide was also very kind and has lots of energy. I would recommend this daytrip.

Our guide Son was great! It was evident that he knows very well the areas we visited. His explanations were clear, concise and informative. Provided recommendations on food/snacks to try and even a supermarket to shop for groceries. Ample time were given to us to explore on our own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
