Fukuoka Castle tours

Kumamoto Castle is an architectural marvel, and I took many photos from different angles, each one showcasing intricate details. I was really looking forward to seeing the crater at Mount Aso, but unfortunately, it was under a red alert, so I could only view the volcano, spewing black smoke, from a distance. It started raining when I was at Kusasenri, which is a very relaxing place with endless green fields – very therapeutic. The horses there were very robust.

The tour guide Mr. Cho is an amazing person. He is so happy-go-lucky and always ready to help everyone. He waits for you if everybody is rushing and you are left behind. He takes care of the group very well, and we had an amazing day. The tour is organized very well, and all the points are worth visiting.

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.

Travelling with Kaku as my guide was very enjoyable. He ensured that we were well looked after, shared with us good tips about what to eat / what to do at every stop, and also shared personal tips on what to eat in Fukuoka. here’s also a hot tip at Fukuoka tower; there is a free mini photo / certificate of attendance that is worth getting if you’re going up the tower, it ends at 1800h.

Today was absolutely wonderful!!! The entire itinerary was great! We had so much fun! I especially want to commend our tour leader, Mr. Wang, today! He was very dedicated throughout the whole trip, taking many beautiful photos for our family along the way! He even helped everyone book a delicious unagi (eel) rice restaurant! Having a tour guide who speaks Chinese really makes a difference! Our whole family is already planning to come back to Fukuoka next time and book a private car tour with him again! I highly recommend this one-day tour offered by KKday! It's excellent value for money!

This project is a highly valuable and worthwhile itinerary. I had originally read online that Kumamoto Castle might be closed for maintenance, but luckily, we were able to visit! The ginkgo and cherry trees were truly beautiful. The timing was just right; if you want to eat and shop, you need to move quickly and take fewer photos to have a chance to try everything. The tempura was incredibly delicious and a must-try; it was sold alongside the bear-shaped cakes, and both were tasty and adorable. Aso Volcano, however, was a shame... we couldn't visit due to a red alert, which was the only disappointment. Our tour guide mentioned that it's very rare for Aso Volcano to be on a green alert, and even they couldn't predict the timing. The scenery was truly beautiful. Oh, and definitely bring a windbreaker! We thought it wouldn't be cold, but we were absolutely freezing. You should also try the coffee, and if you want to experience buying a lucky bag in Japan, you can grab one. The lucky bags contain a selection of the store's key items, so if you don't want to pick out souvenirs, you can just buy a lucky bag; it has plenty of things to give as gifts! It's excellent value for money, though it did rain a few times and disrupted things. There's also a supermarket where you should definitely buy things if you can. The Aso Musume strawberries are very popular, but they are incredibly sweet and delicious, not sour at all, with a fragrant strawberry aroma. There are other varieties of strawberries too, and the prices are all fantastic!

We joined the Miyazaki Takachiho Gorge exploration day tour from Fukuoka, and our guide, Summer, made it truly unforgettable. She was warm, knowledgeable, and kept everything running smoothly. Summer shared fascinating stories about the gorge’s legends and the local culture, plus great tips on where to take the best photos. The gorge itself is breathtaking – the emerald water, the waterfalls. Summer managed the timing perfectly, so we never felt rushed.

Xiao Cai Mao puts in a lot of effort to take care of her charges. she goes out of her way to ensure her guests have good experiences. she interacts with her guests. The itinerary does not have long travel distances between sights, about a hour inbetween. outlet shopping is good, maybe can allocate a bit more time.

Having visited Fukuoka several times, I became interested in a side trip this time and joined a day tour. Even though I was traveling alone, our young and handsome guide was so kind all day long that I felt comfortable and had a wonderful time. It was even better because not only did he explain the sights well, but he also recommended great places to eat. I especially remember eating fresh sushi that I picked out myself at the Karato Market while looking out at the ocean. The exotic atmosphere of Mojiko Retro was lovely, and it was fun to watch the bridge open on schedule. After exploring Kokura Castle and the nearby market, I even enjoyed a delicious tempura restaurant recommended by our guide. It would have been hard to see and do this much on my own, so I was very satisfied to experience so many places comfortably. If you have already explored downtown Fukuoka multiple times, I definitely recommend taking a side day tour. It was a wonderful day! 😊 The guide even shared a list of Fukuoka's best restaurants at the end.
