Thanks to guide Bae Tae-kwon, I had the trip of a lifetime! He pointed out the best and most affordable restaurants at Karato Market, so I got to enjoy delicious food at places even locals line up for. He also showed us an efficient route from Tanga Market to the arcade and Kokura Castle, allowing us to make the most of our sightseeing. His easy and entertaining explanations of Dazaifu Tenmangu's historical background made it more than just a simple tour. Furthermore, he kindly assisted me with personal hotel matters, which was a huge help since I don't speak Japanese. Despite my initial worries about the rain, it turned out to be a wonderful trip, all thanks to guide Bae Tae-kwon. For anyone visiting Fukuoka, I highly recommend this tour!

Takachiho Gorge is truly beautiful; the scenery in person is even more impressive than in photos, and the surrounding natural environment is very pleasant. Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine offers a completely different atmosphere; it's very quiet and has a mysterious feel, making it great for photos. Arranging visits to these spots solely by public transportation can be quite troublesome, so joining a day tour saved a lot of time researching routes and transferring. The overall trip experience was excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyushu for the first time and wanting to see Takachiho!

our tour guide 孙楠Sun is very polite and kind as he bring us to our day trip to Mojiko whereas he give us good tip where we could get our good sashimi at the fish market . we also enjoy our little boat ride across to visit the fish market too. food are fresh and delicious. Following after that we are being bought to a outlet district as we manage to get many good Japanese label at good price and plus a bonus to see Ultraman exhibition that is currently exhibiting . lastly we went to Sakakurayama for our stunning night view cable tour which really wrapped up our day with a beautiful end of tour

Jimmy Liu was one of the most funny and entertaining guides we’ve had during our Fukuoka trip, it was a fantastic time with Jimmy and our trip up to Kitakyushu! To provide a better context Kitakyushu is quite up north from Fukuoka and each destination would take 1.5-2.5hrs (which can be challenging for young children who are more restless). The rides were long but the views were amazing. We had enough time to enjoy each place, especially at Mojiko Port where we got to experience wonderful grilled Japanese curry! The rest of the destinations were beautiful and scenic. I do recommend this trip if you are looking to enjoy the natures and wonders of Kitakyushu!

We are lucky to find this tour very last minute. The tour company reached us very soon after we made the booking and confirmed it. Tour guide is so nice preparing candy for us. Bus equipped with strong A/C and the ride is comfortable. Time for each spot is good enough. The trip worths more than what we paid. Excellent service and experience. 我和男朋友是出发前一天晚上才决定参加这个团。下单以后,旅行公司很快就跟我们确定,然后发给我们出发的资料。见面的时候,导游张清给我们准备了糖果。非常贴心。 旅游车的冷气很足,旅程很舒适。停留每一个点的时间很足够。导游给我们的介绍很详细。晚上去看日落的地方,真的很美。这个旅程绝对值回票价。

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.

Today, our tour was led by tour guide Zhang Qing from Gogoday. The entire itinerary was very smooth, and we had plenty of time. Our guide was experienced and eager to help with any questions or issues from the group members, getting along well with everyone. During the trip, the sushi at Karato Market was inexpensive and delicious, with toppings twice the size of the rice. Kokura Castle had many interactive facilities. At the outlet, we took the kids to Asoble to experience the giant claw machine. The night view from Mount Sarakura lived up to its reputation. It was a very enjoyable day.

Jason, our tour guide was wonderful as he tried his best to accommodate us best way possible. It was raining all day but everyone in the bus was very patient and coping. Strawberry tasting was a delight and next was to Kitakyushu to see the legendary samurai, the Kokura Castle. our final destination was to se the wisteria display at the Kawachi Garden. Because of the rainfall, it made this play that much more mysterious and enchanting. Everyone there was in awe including me and my 92 year old aunt. Thsnks again to Jason and to Klook for a great tour…
