I had an amazing experience at Yufuin! I wish I had more time to walk around at the onsen, but I still managed to take some great photos. The mountain scenery was breathtaking, and the village itself was visually stunning. The highlight of my trip was the train ride back to Hakata station. If you’re in the Kyushu area, especially Fukuoka, I highly recommend visiting Yufuin.

○ Advantages 1. The guide is very friendly and explains things well. Thanks to them, I was able to have a delicious lunch. 2. The itinerary is well-organized, and it's nice to be able to get off at Yufuin. 3. It's good for going with friends or couples. ○ Disadvantages (Areas for Improvement) 1. The program is so full that the stay time at each course is too tight. I would like to have more time to look around, even if it means reducing the courses. It seems difficult to tour with elderly people.

Guide 'Jjujju's' trilingual skills (Korean, Japanese, Chinese) are truly at a perfect native speaker level. This was the first overseas trip for my high school classmates who have turned 40. We still had some childlike innocence left, so we booked the tour because we really wanted to go to the safari. The atmosphere of the serene Yufuin, which was the first course, was so nice, and the safari, which was the next course, was more enchanting than expected, and the last hot spring course was perfect. The explanation and guidance throughout the tour were perfect, with nothing missing. The driver also felt like a veteran. We had such a good time that we regretted the time passing, and it was a tour that I would definitely recommend to others. Next time, I will definitely come back with my family (especially with my parents, it would be the best for a filial piety trip). I think we also met good people on the tour, and since we were a group of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and English speakers, we were assigned two guides, both of whom were really the best. In particular, our Korean guide, 'Jjujju,' worked so hard and was so grateful for taking care of us immature people. It was my first Fukuoka trip, and I am grateful for making good memories. If you are considering this tour, don't hesitate to book it, you won't regret it. - A tour that all four middle-aged men in their 40s living in Korea were satisfied with -

It was a one-day trip to Hita, Yufuin, Mt. Yufu, and Beppu, and I was really satisfied! ✨ I especially remember the Hita area because it was so pretty, and the travel route was well-organized, so it wasn't tiring at all. Most of all, the guide was the best! Instead of just providing information, they sincerely explained the background of Fukuoka and each region, and I thought, 'Wow, a trip can be this fulfilling' while listening 👏 They took great care to ensure that the guests had an enjoyable trip, and the day was really fun because they led the atmosphere with witty comments from time to time 💗 It was by far the most satisfying guide I've ever had on a tour. Thank you for creating good memories ☺️

Ada was a great tour guide. She gave us time to explore and do as we please. I just wished we had more time at Yufuin as it was such a cute town and there was plenty of things to explore. my only suggestion is that we could have compensated by not going to the “little Mt. Fuji” stop. Overall I was pleased with all the sights we saw on this trip. The driver was also excellent at maneuvering the large bus down those very small and windy roads.

Extremely convenient service! You can book a tour to Dazaifu and Fukuoka City up to the day before. I received a WhatsApp message within half an hour of booking, and we were able to discuss the itinerary. It's very suitable for families, and I would use it again if I have the chance!

Thank you to our tour guide, Jigu (Zhu Zhu), for leading us throughout the whole day. Because I'm not a fast walker, and I just had the screws removed from my kneecap in August, I'm very grateful that Sister Zhu Zhu was concerned about that. Because of this, I wasn't able to really explore Yufuin well during the nearly one-hour train ride, which is a little disappointing. I hope to visit Yufuin again next time to explore. However, being able to go see animals, visit Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell), and Kamado Jigoku (Oven Hell), and eat onsen tamago (hot spring eggs) on a day trip was pretty good too. 👍
