Review for: Fukuoka Nanzoin & Itoshima Coastal Full-Day Private Tour

We had a great day with Kenji today! The communication through whatsapp was very clear and organized. Even though I made a mistake and booked for only one person, Kenji was very accomodating and let us pay the second person in cash upfront :) The whole booking was very spontaneous, i booked the tour the night before and everything was organized the next day! the private tour with kenji was absolutely great we saw so many great viewd such as the Nanzo-in Temple, Totoro Forest, Mataichi Salt Maker Workshop and the Couple Stones. I was very glad and happy with Kenji's flexibility, friendliness and sugoi driving style. Thank you so much again!! Since it's hard to go around Itoshima by Public Transport, this was the perfect way to see all the sights ☺️☺️

Review for: Fukuoka Nanzoin & Itoshima Coastal Full-Day Private Tour

I brought my dad to Fukuoka and originally chose a small group tour because places like Nanzoin Temple and Itoshima are inconvenient to reach by public transport, but it turned out to be beyond expectations! We visited Nanzoin Temple, the coast, and Totoro Forest, and the itinerary was relaxed and unhurried. The lunch portions were huge, fresh, and a great value, completely changing our impression of tour group meals. Mr. Kimura was friendly and enthusiastic, and my dad had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Truly unforgettable, highly recommended!

Review for: Fukuoka Nanzoin & Itoshima Coastal Full-Day Private Tour

Thank you to Kimura-san for driving and guiding our group of four to Nanzoin, Tsukamoto restaurant, Totoro's Forest, Meoto Iwa, and another beach with the palm tree swing! It's the first time I've been on a private tour, and I felt taken care of from start to finish. Being picked up from my hotel was super convenient, and it was fun chatting to Kimura-san throughout the trip. He's very funny and kind. He let us have a lot of free time to explore on our own, so I never felt rushed at any of the travel spots. They also weren't very crowded, so I was able to take some great pics! Nanzoin was impressive and you can even go inside the statue if you pay cash at the temple. For lunch, I had Course A at the seafood restaurant. I was impressed with the quality and quantity of the food that was served. If you're looking for a relaxing day trip but still want to go to a lot of places, I recommend trying this one!

Review for: Fukuoka Nanzoin & Itoshima Coastal Full-Day Private Tour

Highly recommended! Right from the moment I made the deposit, I could feel the quality of their service. Shortly after booking, I received a message to discuss the itinerary, and they proactively provided a lot of travel information and details, which made me feel completely at ease even before setting off. I originally thought that taking a day trip would mean running into massive tour groups, but their arrangement was fantastic. It always felt like we were one step ahead, avoiding all the crowds. At almost every attraction, it was pretty much just our group. Whether taking photos or slowly enjoying the scenery, it was so much more comfortable without having to squeeze through crowds at all. The tour guide was cheerful and engaging the entire time, not just mechanically leading the way. The pace of the whole journey was very relaxed, we had a wonderful time, and it never felt rushed like being herded around like ducks. Another highlight was the lunch! The tour guide didn't take us to some designated tourist restaurant, but instead to a super local seafood restaurant. The sea urchin was unbelievably fresh, making it feel as if it had just been scooped straight from the ocean into our mouths. Plus, the price was very reasonable, offering unbeatable value for money. In short, the whole trip—from the arrangements, service, and pacing of the attractions to the food—was flawless. It is definitely one of the most satisfying day trips I've joined in recent years. When I visit Fukuoka again next time, I will definitely book with you all again! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Review for: Fukuoka Nanzoin & Itoshima Coastal Full-Day Private Tour

Today was a small-group day tour, and the pick-up and meeting arrangements were very convenient. The tour guide, Adrian, was extremely flexible with the overall itinerary and timing for each attraction, perfectly avoiding the crowds. I highly recommend this small-group tour and am very satisfied. Adrian is trilingual in Mandarin, Japanese, and English, and his explanations were very simple and clear, so there is no need to worry about any communication barriers. The hidden-gem local seafood restaurant had extremely fresh ingredients, but don't get carried away and order too much, because the portions are very generous and the value for money is exceptionally high. As a nice bonus, we also stopped by a dessert shop, where the pudding is a must-try. If you are still hesitating about how to choose a day tour to Itoshima while in Fukuoka, I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with choices and wants a relaxing experience!
