Sakurai Futamigaura's Couple Stones tours

2025/12/28 This was my first trip to Fukuoka with my family. We bought a package tour and saw snow in Japan for the first time. We even had a small snowball fight. The tour guide said that the group the day before couldn't make it up because of the snow on the ground. We were lucky today. Although there wasn't much snow on the ground, it was still a great experience. The scenery in Itoshima was really beautiful, and the palm trees were lovely. We had a lot of fun on the swings, and it was a great place to take pictures. The Ichiran factory is also a great place for a walk. At lunchtime, the tour guide arranged for us to eat Ichiran ramen. I heard it was the main store, so we didn't have to wait in line, which was also a great treat. Finally, at Miyajidake Shrine, we enjoyed delicious food and watched the sunset, a perfect combination. So happy!

Super fun day and Chun was fantastic and had heaps of great tips for each location we visited! Seafood was amazing, would recommend the all you can eat option but if not there's a nice walk along the rocky shore line thats pretty stunning too!

I really loved the tour section — it was very worthwhile, especially the Itoshima visit. If I had gone there by myself, it would have cost me much more time and money to reach those places. The best part was that the guide kept sharing recommendations on the best foods of the attraction.

The tour guide was excellent, very enthusiastic, and took great care of everyone. It was a very fulfilling day, and we didn't have to worry about transportation. We had plenty of time at each attraction.

A very laid back tour because the tour group was small. Ting, our tour guide, tried her best to translate everything in English even though she herself said she was not that good in english. The locations we visited were really nice and barely anyone was there too - maybe because its winter.

I would like to commend our tour guide Ada for this tour. I enjoy the tour especially the boat ride! I’m so happy I chose this set of tour. Please book the tour with boat ride, it’s a unique experience and fun. Ada communicates well in English and easy to approach. Arigato, Ada. Thank you for this tour, Sayonara!

This tour is by GoGoDay. Meeting place is at Ministop Nagoya Station West (Google Map). It is the assembling place for all GoGoDay’s tours so need to ask the guides in order to join the correct group. That day, the tour for Ise was only 7 people so the vehicle used was a mini van. The driver doubled up as the guide. He was a careful driver but did not speak much except at the last destination (the wedded rocks). The first stop, the Ise Grand Shrine compound, is huge so it’s not advisable to cover the whole area. Unfortunately it was very crowded the day we visited as it was a public holiday. Similarly, Okage Yokocho was jam packed with people. Given the limited time and long queues, we did not manage to have lunch at any restaurants. Instead we walked around to shop and had street food. Make sure to try the eel skewers and not go on a public holiday. At second stop, we chose to go to Toba Aquarium which was excellent and fascinating. Nice to look at the sea at the Wedded Rocks.

We had a fantastic experience with Ada as our tour guide. Her caring nature, steady patience, and polite manner made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Ada truly elevated our trip, and we are grateful for her wonderful service.
