What to expect
Embark on a spring-limited journey to experience the stunning cherry blossom scenery of Saga, Kyushu, in one convenient trip. Stroll through the cherry blossom-filled path of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, and pray for academic success and wish fulfillment in the ancient shrine. Visit Yutoku Inari Shrine, one of Japan's three major Inari shrines, where vermilion torii gates stretch along the mountain, and the ancient shrine and cherry blossoms complement each other like a painting. Explore the lesser-known secret spot, Oouo Shrine, and witness the dreamy underwater torii gate standing silently on the sea surface, with cherry blossoms, sea views, and shrines in the same frame, creating a tranquil and picturesque scene. Then, deeply explore Mifuneyama Rakuen and Asahigaoka Park, where nearly 2,000 cherry trees bloom like snow. The popular heart-shaped cherry tree, ancient stone walls, and cherry blossom snowstorms are all within sight. Fulfill your wishes, enjoy the scenery, take photos, and stroll around, immersing yourself in Kyushu's most touching spring romance.

Thank you so much for this trip! My family really enjoyed the tour and Nicole is really accommodating and kind towards us. Would really recommend this. Worth it!!
Although the weather wasn't great that day, it was a small group, which created a wonderful atmosphere. Our tour guide, Li Jing, provided rich explanations and shared many interesting facts about Japan, making everyone feel very happy.
The tour was awesome, our guide Daisy was great and Saga turned out to be a hidden gem in Kyushu. IG: japantinyworld
Our tour guide, ADA, was humorous and excellent, highly recommended! The schedule was also very well-planned, allowing for a relaxed and ample amount of time to visit all the important sights in Saga.
The itinerary and guide were excellent and professional.
The itinerary was very smooth, excellent! 👍
Xiao Shi (Little Stone) tour guide, explained things carefully and was excellent.
The low review is not based on the places visited, which were very beautiful, but on the service provided by the tour. This tour basically consists of transportation between places in a small and uncomfortable bus. The arrival was chaotic. Although the description does not include a guided tour, the guide (Yang Meng) explained extremely basic knowledge in Chinese and English; the level of English was low. While she was not rude or disrespectful, she was not friendly or charismatic, nor did she put any care or enthusiasm into the tour. Furthermore, she barely had knowledge of the places visited. Upon arriving at Takeo Onsen, she said that there were no private bathrooms and that we should ask at nearby hotels, when in reality there were bathrooms right where she dropped us off. The time at Takeo Onsen was very short (1 hour 30 minutes). I would not recommend this tour at all. It's low quality, the bus bounced a lot, and the driver drove very fast. For the price, it's not worth it. I would look for another option. I am not satisfied.
