It was a very good tour and the guide was very nice. I can only recommend the tour to everyone. Ten out of ten, I was very surprised. The thermal springs were particularly beautiful. thanks to Wende 😊

Few standard styles were available; female customers mostly opted for upgrades. Simple styles were acceptable for male customers. The upstairs shop isn't very spacious; more than two people will have to wait to change and get their hair styled. Overall, the experience was satisfactory. They are skilled at hairstyling and dressing, so it's worth a try.

The service attitude is good and the hotel is spacious. The hotel is close to Fukuoka Station and has a direct underground access. Very convenient and highly recommended

A fulfilling tour, very suitable for travelers who come to Kyushu for free travel. This time I took my mother on a trip, and this itinerary was very good! ! Otherwise, it would take more time to go to Yufuin by yourself. There was a tour bus to take us there and a tour guide to introduce us, which was super great!

Tour guide Wendy scored 100 points! She explained every attraction in detail in bilingual and trilingual languages. She also gave us suggestions on food and shopping. When one of our friends was unwell, she took care of us very attentively and considerately. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️

Although the sky was not good, it was not that hot at least. We stayed in Yufuin for the longest time (3 hours), and stayed in the remaining hot spring hells and Dazaifu for a shorter time. If possible, we should stay in Dazaifu for half a day to enjoy this thousand-year-old monument.
