Saga

This time, we were led by tour guide Zhang Qing. As soon as the tour guide got on the bus, he was very concerned about the passengers and explained the local history and culture in detail. Then, when we arrived in Yanagawa, he also helped us book seats at a local century-old eel restaurant. He really earnestly led the passengers to understand the local culture and accompanied us throughout the entire trip. He also enthusiastically shared famous local restaurants and souvenir shops in Fukuoka. Most importantly, it was already his off-work time in the evening when my phone fell in the taxi. Even though it was no longer his responsibility, I called him and asked him to talk to another taxi driver to see if he could help me find my phone. He was very concerned about the search situation. I was very flustered at the time, but tour guide Zhang Qing told me not to worry because he could use the "find" function to locate the phone. So he asked the driver to look at my location and search for it. Finally, he found the phone, and when I thanked him, he just said, "I'm glad we found it." I am very grateful to Zhang Qing. He is truly a very dedicated tour guide. I am very lucky to have participated in this tour. Thank you very much.

Daisy packed a lot in one day for us. she was in contact with us all the time and gave us information on all stops . the trip was amazing

Easy booking through Klook. Super easy redemption at the airport. Seat reservation: No problem at the machine. But not always necessary, sometimes we just rode in the unreserved car. Staff always very friendly. We used it in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima. Everything worked out great.

The 2-day Kyushu SunQ Pass is a great value, allowing you to ride buses throughout northern Kyushu. Activate it by entering your email address; you'll receive a password via email. Use this password to unlock the code, which starts the activation. You can then use it to reserve buses to other cities.

I used this pass to travel to Kurume and Kokura. I've been to Shimonoseki twice before, so I skipped it this time. Kurume wasn't actually in my plans, but a train happened to be there, so I just hopped on for a 'P's Trip' and searched online to see the giant Buddha statue. For reference, you can take bus number 31 or 35 (310 yen) from Kurume Station and walk for 5-10 minutes. Then, the next day, I went to Kokura to eat burdock root udon and go shopping at 2nd Street, lol. Fukuoka is expensive, so Kokura has more affordable brands. Especially Niko and... it's pretty and the vintage items are cheap, so I found some great deals. If you feel a barrier in Fukuoka, you can shop for various things in Kokura, lol. When you take the train, they come to check your ticket, so you have to turn it on and show it on the internet. Sonic trains have unreserved seats in cars 4-7...

I'm not sure the benefits of getting it directly from JR vs Klook but they are the same price. At least you can earn Klook points if that's your jam. I got my JR pass thing in the mail and you go to the JR station and tell them when you want it active (ok the day of too). You can reserve seats at the JR station offices for more complicated places like Nagasaki as you'll need to transfer trains at least once. BTW it's literally a platform over and within like 3 minutes which is very easy. I was freaking out I would miss it but you're just exiting and moving to the adjacent train. If you're not sure if you'll get your value out of this pass, just google search JR train calculator. I used it for Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Nagaski, Hiroshima, Osaka.

the staffs are very kind and helpful. though the showers maybe need some check, because it just get cold <-> hot even when no one touch it

convenient location with excellent service and room facilities
