Things to do in Dazaifu

Daisy very good service, a day before contact via WhatsApp and share all the interesting places, shop and food at Yufin. Very Impressive and very helpful to let us plan place to visit a day before the trip.

I think this one-day tour was fantastic. Not only was the buy-one-get-one-free deal incredibly good value, but they also gave us souvenirs at the end. What I really appreciated most was not having to worry about transportation. Our tour guide was also very professional, and his English was excellent. We had foreign tourists in our group, and the guide could switch from Chinese to English instantly. His English was very pleasant to listen to. The only downside was that the flowing noodle area was closed due to an earthquake or something similar, so we didn't get to try the flowing noodles, which was a bit of a shame. Also, some group members went boating and were late, but the guide waited for them.

had a beautiful and amazing day visiting Yufuin, Beppu, Kinrin Lake, and Dazaifu! was the only English-speaking guest on the tour, while most of the other guests were part of the Chinese-speaking group. But thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Nana, I never felt left out or like I was on my own. Nana-san translated everything for me in English, took my phone number just in case I got or lost, made sure I had a comfy seat, and constantly checked that I was okay. She was so warm, funny, and genuinely thoughtful. She even reco a great place for ice cream at Honeybees! It honestly felt like I had my own little travel buddy for the day My fave part of the trip was Kinrin Lake. I was honestly amazed by how beautiful it was Beppu was also incredible. we couldn’t go on the Beppu Ropeway because of the weather, Dazaifu was under construction during my visit. Yufuin was probably the least enjoyable part for me because it felt quite touristy and crowded ended up having such a wonderful time.

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.

I did the tour to see Takachiho Gorge and Aso Kusasenri, and I had a fantastic time. The tour was incredibly well-organized. Our guide, Sun, was knowledgeable and professional; he gave us great context about the area and guided us exceptionally well throughout the day. The gorge was beautiful, and the boat experience was so much fun. I also added the lunch package at the last minute and was really glad I did, because the food was delicious. We even got to see horses at Kusasenri, which was very cool. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

Our day tour to Dazaifu, Yufuin, Kamado Jigoku, and Umi Jigoku was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, shop, and truly enjoy each stop. A special thanks to our tour guide, Vivian, for making the experience even more memorable. She shared interesting stories and historical facts about every place we visited, which made us appreciate each destination on a deeper level. Her instructions were always clear, and she managed the schedule efficiently, ensuring we had enough free time while keeping the tour running smoothly. Vivian also went the extra mile by recommending local specialties and must-try food, helping us make the most of our visit. Her friendliness, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone in the group made the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fukuoka and Beppu. If you get Vivian as your guide, you’re in excellent hands!

Our trip along the popular Itoshima route in Kyushu with Eiichii was absolute perfection from start to finish. Exploring six distinct and beautiful stops in a single day could easily feel rushed, but Eiichii’s meticulous planning and organization made the entire journey incredibly comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. He was incredibly accommodating, fluently switching between English and Chinese to make sure everyone felt included and well-informed. Eiichii treated every guest with the utmost warmth and respect throughout the day. To top it off, he was an amazing photographer—he took the time to ensure everyone got great photos at every single location. If you are visiting Kyushu, I cannot recommend Eiichii enough. He made our trip unforgettable!

I really enjoyed the tour today! 🥰 It was such a meaningful experience, especially since I almost missed it! A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Aida, for coming back to pick me up and giving me a few extra minutes. 🥹❤️ If you’re taking this tour, make sure you’re on time! Yufuin Village was absolutely beautiful and had so many shops and things to explore, especially along the alley leading to Yufuin Station. My eyes were literally “drooling” from all the beautiful things I saw! 😍✨ Thank you, Aida, for making the experience even more special! 💕

After a brief visit to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, I toured the museum. It was less crowded, and the entire space, harmonized in black, felt very calming. I particularly enjoyed the detailed 8K tea bowl experience, and being able to actually touch a dotaku (bronze bell) and ring it. There was also a scent corner. While viewing the exhibits was educational, the interactive, technology-driven sections were truly innovative. The price was also reasonable. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.
