The itinerary was a little different than I imagined, and although the time seemed sufficient, it was also a bit tight. However, tour guide Sun was very kind and professional, adding a different flavor to the somewhat bland itinerary. I really have to give the tour guide a thumbs up!

Our tour guide, Yang Ming楊萌，was incredibly attentive, patient and professional. She even contacted us in advance to remind us to dress warmly due to the cold weather. Furthermore, she recommended a lot of Fukuoka delicacies to us. Very Nice.

This was my first time choosing a one-day tour, and the experience was fantastic! I had the pleasure of having a great guide, Jimmy Liu, who was responsible and gave clear instructions! I especially appreciated his language skills; he was fluent in Mandarin, English, and Japanese. Since the tour group consisted of people from different places, he definitely took great care in communication! There was a small incident during the tour; while waiting in line for the cable car, I might have walked too fast, and when he was counting heads, he suddenly asked, "Where's the Hong Kong lady?" (because I was the only person from Hong Kong). That's me, the Hong Kong lady! 😂 Actually, I was right in front of him 😂 He remembered every single member of the group! He was truly dedicated! Overall, it was a very good experience! If I have the opportunity to join another tour, I hope I can meet Jimmy again! 😃✨

It would definitely take more time to do these trips on my own, so the one-day tour was great, thank you Jimmy the tour guide 😀. The only downside is that the travel time between each itinerary is very long and the stops are very short, so it's a bit rushed.

The Gateway Port has the charm of the times, Shimonoseki has a vast sea view, Kokura Castle has traces of history, and Miyajidake Shrine has the most beautiful sunset. Thank you, Sister Zhou, for the arrangements and introduction. The time was well planned and it was well worth a visit!

Wang Dao explained everything very carefully, and the places he took us were all worth visiting. We had time to rest along the way, and he explained each of the tourist attractions in detail. The day we arrived, the weather was great, and there weren't too many tourists in Mojiko, so it wasn't crowded and was very comfortable. However, only a few shops were open at Karato Market, so there were fewer choices, but the conveyor belt sushi was delicious 😋. Later, we went to Kokura Castle, and I heard there's a light festival at night. It was already beautiful enough during the day, and we plan to see it again at night in the future, giving us some inspiration for our next itinerary. The scenery at Yawata Shrine was also enchanting, and the small town was quieter, without large crowds of tourists. We were very satisfied with this trip!
