We'd like to thank tour guide Mr. Mao for his dedicated and sincere leadership, which allowed us to learn more about the history of Northern Kyushu. The timing of the trip was also perfectly managed, never feeling rushed, making for a fulfilling day. Thank you.

I recently participated in the Mojiko, Motonosumi Shrine, and Mount Sarakura bilingual day tour led by our guide, Ada, and I was extremely satisfied and grateful. Ada had a deep understanding of the history and itinerary for these locations. In Mojiko, we enjoyed local curry dishes, and Ada provided us with many excellent recommendations. Afterward, at Motonosumi Shrine, we admired the magnificent scenery, which was truly unforgettable. Finally, the panoramic views from the observation deck on Mount Sarakura were absolutely breathtaking. Ada is not only a professional guide but also a very enthusiastic and kind person, and I am very thankful for her efforts.

Ada was kind and professional, and the itinerary was enjoyable. There was no need to worry about getting lost, though the travel time was a bit long. If I have the chance again, I'd love to join another tour to see different scenery.

The only downside was that the weather wasn't good that day; otherwise, the scenery along this route would have been absolutely beautiful!

Taking a day trip saves you the hassle of transfers, and with tour guide Xiao Tan's detailed explanations, it's truly recommendable, even though it happened to rain today.
