Our day tour to Dazaifu, Yufuin, Kamado Jigoku, and Umi Jigoku was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, shop, and truly enjoy each stop. A special thanks to our tour guide, Vivian, for making the experience even more memorable. She shared interesting stories and historical facts about every place we visited, which made us appreciate each destination on a deeper level. Her instructions were always clear, and she managed the schedule efficiently, ensuring we had enough free time while keeping the tour running smoothly. Vivian also went the extra mile by recommending local specialties and must-try food, helping us make the most of our visit. Her friendliness, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone in the group made the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fukuoka and Beppu. If you get Vivian as your guide, you’re in excellent hands!

had a beautiful and amazing day visiting Yufuin, Beppu, Kinrin Lake, and Dazaifu! was the only English-speaking guest on the tour, while most of the other guests were part of the Chinese-speaking group. But thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Nana, I never felt left out or like I was on my own. Nana-san translated everything for me in English, took my phone number just in case I got or lost, made sure I had a comfy seat, and constantly checked that I was okay. She was so warm, funny, and genuinely thoughtful. She even reco a great place for ice cream at Honeybees! It honestly felt like I had my own little travel buddy for the day My fave part of the trip was Kinrin Lake. I was honestly amazed by how beautiful it was Beppu was also incredible. we couldn’t go on the Beppu Ropeway because of the weather, Dazaifu was under construction during my visit. Yufuin was probably the least enjoyable part for me because it felt quite touristy and crowded ended up having such a wonderful time.

I really enjoyed the tour today! 🥰 It was such a meaningful experience, especially since I almost missed it! A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aida, for coming back to pick me up and giving me a few extra minutes. 🥹❤️ If you’re taking this tour, make sure you’re on time! Yufuin Village was absolutely beautiful and had so many shops and things to explore, especially along the alley leading to Yufuin Station. My eyes were literally “drooling” from all the beautiful things I saw! 😍✨ Thank you, Aida, for making the experience even more special! 💕

If you're looking for the absolute best guide, Tae is the one! He was super duper nice, incredibly friendly, and made the entire experience so warm and welcoming from start to finish. As a huge bonus, he is SO good at taking pictures! He truly knows all the best angles and spots, so you’ll walk away with amazing photos for your memories (and your feed!). Thank you so much, Tae, for making our trip so special and seamless. 10/10 recommendation—ask for Tae if you can! 🙌✨

I did the tour to see Takachiho Gorge and Aso Kusasenri, and I had a fantastic time. The tour was incredibly well-organized. Our guide, Sun, was knowledgeable and professional; he gave us great context about the area and guided us exceptionally well throughout the day. The gorge was beautiful, and the boat experience was so much fun. I also added the lunch package at the last minute and was really glad I did, because the food was delicious. We even got to see horses at Kusasenri, which was very cool. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

I had booked this tour led by guide Nana, but since I was staying overnight in Kumamoto that evening, I realized right before departure that it didn't quite fit my schedule. Guide Nana immediately helped me switch to a more suitable tour led by guide Zhou. It poured rain on the day of the tour, but guide Zhou thoughtfully looked after all the team members the entire way. She was enthusiastic and cheerful, bringing laughter wherever we went. When an American joined the group as we left Kumamoto Castle, guide Zhou took turns explaining everything in both Chinese and English all the way. Listening to her native-sounding English introduction was also a treat. Finally, when we were about to leave, guide Zhou asked the driver to drop us off right at the station entrance so we wouldn't get soaked in the rain while pulling our luggage. In short, I am very grateful to the two enthusiastic guides I met this time. Even though it was a rainy day, my heart was filled with sunshine the whole way.

This one-day tour of Fukuoka, Yufuin, and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine had a smooth and rich itinerary, allowing us to experience Fukuoka's most iconic suburban attractions in a single day. Yufuin offered a relaxed, European-style town atmosphere with the beautiful Kinrin Lake, while Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine left a deep impression with its rich historical and cultural heritage. We especially thank Tour Guide Guo for leading and taking care of us throughout the trip. Mr. Guo was not only kind and friendly but also very attentive to the travelers and extremely dedicated. Along the way, he provided detailed and vivid explanations of the local history, cultural background, and characteristics of each attraction. His rich commentary allowed everyone to deeply understand Kyushu's culture and stories while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The arrangements for meeting points, transportation, and time management were also very well organized, making the entire journey easy, enjoyable, and rewarding. This was a wonderful trip combining natural scenery, cultural experiences, and culinary exploration, highly recommended for friends visiting Fukuoka. With Tour Guide Guo's professional and enthusiastic guidance, this journey was made even more memorable!

Experience: The owner was very kind and spoke both Japanese and Mandarin. Her advice on choosing kimonos was incredibly helpful. The kimonos were beautiful, and she did an excellent job arranging our hair accessories, giving our family a wonderful experience. We will definitely choose this shop again next time. 😘 Location: The location is very close to Dazaifu, which is very convenient. Facilities: The environment is very comfortable.
