The hotel rate was excellent. I loved spening time in the lobby since they provide free drinks and food like 8-9 kinds of bread, udon and curry. Room was spacious. Its indeed a great value accommodation.

This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Mrs. Nana, was very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends. If you join this tour, don’t miss the onsen eggs at Umi Jigoku—they’re incredibly delicious! I only bought one, and I really regret not getting more. The croquettes at Yufuin Floral Village are also a must-try. I also wanted to try the grilled mushrooms, but unfortunately the queue was so long that they sold out before I could buy any. That was a little disappointing. The only downside was visiting in the summer. It was extremely hot, and walking around in the heat was quite tiring. Other than that, I had a great time!

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!

What to know before visiting Kitakyushu

Quick snapshot of Kitakyushu and what to expect

Kitakyushu draws visitors mainly for Tours, Observation decks, Massages and Museums, with day trips and guided experiences making up the bulk of bookings. Demand has a clear seasonal rhythm, peaking in May and dipping around August, so the city alternates between lively and quieter stretches across the year.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data show May is the busiest month while August is the quietest. Prices on Klook stay fairly steady through much of the year: they are typically highest around July and drift to their lowest in October. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for October or the quieter late-summer months; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity options, plan for May. Overall demand and prices diverge a little here — demand peaks in May while prices peak slightly later in July — so you can sometimes catch lively events without paying the very highest rates.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong book about two weeks ahead on average, with many locking things in up to around five weeks before travel and a last-minute window of around four days. If your trip is flexible you can still book popular tours a few days out, but for travel in May (the busiest month) consider booking earlier to secure preferred dates; use Klook to compare schedules and reserve spots in advance.
