We were late for the trip, and met up the tour guide at the dazaifu metro station. It was really nice to have our tour guide, Lina as our guide on this trip. She communicated well, waited for us at the station and guide us to the bas. Along the journey, explanation will be given by the tour guide as well so you get some info and know what to do next. It was absolutely a great trip, we went to beppu and yufuin floral village, saw some nice scenery and have some food. It was tsuyu season so expect some rain during the journey. For the time schedule, it was on time and everyone also get on time. Overall, thumbs up to this trip! 🙌👍👍

We visited a lot of places during the tour and was able to have time to browse lots of souvenirs and food throughout. Mount Aso crater was unfortunately closed but we were still able to enjoy and take in the amazing views. Our guides especially Sun was so accommodating even when we me and my friend were the only 2 English speaking people in the trip. They were both really jolly and would give good infos about the places and also gave tips on food and where else to visit around Fukuoka. So thank you so much to them :)

this tour was really good if you love animals and want to see them up close. I enjoyed the guide Zhu Zhu was so sweet and even she spoke little English she was so great and made sure I was able to follow along with rest of the group. She was so delightful and kindhearted, helped me order all the foods form all the shops and stores and offered me her umbrella and even the sweet apples. I highly recommend this route you get to see lots in one day!

This activity was definitely worth it! Since we were traveling independently and wanted to visit Motonosumi Shrine, joining this one-day tour made things much more convenient. We were very lucky to have Jimmy as our guide on this trip. His initial self-introduction on the bus immediately livened up the atmosphere and had everyone laughing heartily. Since there were also foreigners on the tour, he spoke both Mandarin and English, which was excellent and easy to understand. I'd also like to commend the driver's excellent skills; although the journey was a bit long, we rested very comfortably. The only slight disappointment on this trip was that when we reached the mountain, the fog was too thick, so we couldn't really see the scenery. I look forward to coming back next time to see the beautiful views!

Best day tour ever. Our tour guide Sun was so friendly and easy to talk. He explained everything about the places we visited even recommended other places around Fukuoka. He is such a fun and cheerful person. I’m so happy we met him. The places we visited were beautiful. Motonosumi Shrine was my dream to see it, and it didn’t disappoint. The other places were also amazing especially the Tsunoshima bridge. I highly recommend this day tour. It was perfectly organized.

Even though it was raining, the overall itinerary was very well managed. We had a mini-bus with two guides: Zhu Zhu, who handled Chinese and Korean, and another male guide who provided explanations and commentary in fluent English. This was my first time on a one-day tour, and I was surprised that the guides even walked with us. Zhu Zhu is an excellent guide; she provided detailed information about restrooms and lunch options and consistently ensured the group stayed together and that everyone was accounted for. The entire trip was very enriching. Although the schedule was a bit tight, there was still enough time even for those who love taking photos. We even received small gifts at the end! Since I was staying in Takachiho, I opted out of the return trip, and Zhu Zhu was very enthusiastic in discussing my drop-off location. I'm so glad I joined this one-day tour, and I highly recommend it!

First, our tour guide, Xiao Min, was incredibly attentive and responsible, making every effort to care for each guest. When it rained, we were worried about the slippery steps leading to the torii gate for photos. Xiao Min noticed this and immediately guided us, personally leading us back to an easier, alternative route. She was very proactive and never lazy. Another point worth commending is that she saw a couple in our group monopolizing a scenic spot for a long time, causing a long queue. Xiao Min proactively urged them to move along, ensuring everyone had a chance to take photos. Regarding the itinerary: three aspects of the tour were quite disappointing. 1 - Lunch was too early. We had just finished breakfast at 8 AM, and then by 10:30-11:00 AM, we were at Ichiran eating again. Moreover, the time spent at Ichiran was too long, and there wasn't much to explore. 2 - Yanagawa: The boatman was excellent and created a lively atmosphere. Unfortunately, the rain was very heavy at the time. Driving 1.5 hours to get there was not worth it. I suggest that the itinerary should be adjusted based on the rain conditions, rather than just whether the boat company is willing to operate. 3 - The stop at Dazaifu was only exactly 1 hour. This included getting off the bus, using the restroom, buying Umegae Mochi, browsing 2-3 small shops, and then returning to the bus. Since we were traveling with parents and couldn't walk quickly, there simply wasn't enough time to walk into the temple. Fearing we wouldn't make it back in time, we turned around at the end of the street and didn't dare go further. Dazaifu actually has coffee shops and small stores, and I personally believe 1.5-2 hours should be allocated, especially since 30 minutes were set aside earlier just to photograph a torii gate. 60 minutes for the entire Dazaifu visit is simply too short.
