As a solo traveller I am happy to join this tour as I was able to go to places that are difficult to reach if you don’t have a car. The van is spacious, tour guide speaks English and Chinese and follows time strictly. Our guide Ella explains each places that we went through. She also serves as photographer and making sure that all participants are accounted for.

Overall I enjoyed this tour. Our tourguide, Elivis was accomodating, nice and very informative. He can speak English, Nihonggo and Chinese. The Kitakyusu was very beautiful, Miji port has many beautiful architecure. I recommend eating sushi at Karato Market, it was so fresh and delicious!! Korukura Castle and Miyajidake are a sight to see as well! highly recommended if you are well into Japanese culture. This tour is a must when visiting Fukuoka!

Our family of 5 adults had a lovely day on the Kitakyushu Coastline tour. Kevin was a fun, friendly, and engaging tour guide who made the trip enjoyable and informative throughout. Our driver, Wang, was excellent — very smooth and confident, especially when navigating the curves and turns up Mount Sarakura. We felt safe and relaxed the entire journey. Thank you for a memorable and well-organised day tour!
For Kevin - Hello. It’s me ☺️

小石导游 is a good guide. helpful too. but according to the guide, the tour is either a choice between Mojiko Port or Karato Market. As the majority of the tour chose the port, I had to forego my intended choice. felt disappointed by klook because the itinerary stated did not state this and I signed up because the market was a key factor in deciding the tour. felt that klook "cheated" me. saving grace was the tour was good overall.

Certainly I enjoyed the trip. Guide Ella and the bus driver are both professional in their work. Ella is well-informed, speaks clearly in chinese and English and knows how to ensure the group keep on time. She balances storytelling, history, and practical tips perfectly. Recommend to take her trip.

This trip to Kitakyushu's Mojiko and Tsunoshima was very smooth and full of unique experiences. The tour guide not only knew the opening time of the Blue Wing Mojiko drawbridge, saving us a long wait, but also thoughtfully arranged visits to the Mojiko Retro area and Karato Market, allowing us to eat and explore. The meal choices were a big plus, whether it was the unique baked curry from Curry Honpo or the pufferfish dishes at Karato Market, both were very memorable. The timing for visiting the Tsunoshima Bridge and Motonosumi Shrine was also perfect, with weather and lighting ideal for taking photos. Overall, the tour guide was friendly and attentive, with clear explanations, making the trip both relaxing and fulfilling. It was a very enjoyable experience.

A huge thank you to our tour guide, Selina! She gave us a detailed introduction to all the day's attractions at the start of the tour. Throughout the trip, she kindly pointed out worthwhile sights and delicious places to eat. She took meticulous and thoughtful care of each member of the group. The schedule was also well-managed, and she even recommended great places to eat, shop, and explore near the station at the end. Thanks to her, we had a very fulfilling and wonderful day! 😃

This trip was with family and one child, departing from Fukuoka. Our tour guide, LINA, was very considerate, arranging our seats in the front row (because we had a child) and caring for all the tour members. She diligently introduced the attractions and shared about life in Japan 🇯🇵 along the way, allowing tour members to gain a deeper understanding. The itinerary was packed, starting from Mojiko (architecture with a retro style), a 5-minute boat ride to the lively Karato Market (eating tempura 🍤 and sashimi), Kokura Castle (magnificent architecture, moat, and beautiful red maple leaves along the way), Miyajidake Shrine ⛩️ (the seasonal Path of Light is very beautiful). It was a very fulfilling trip, and my family was very satisfied. I would definitely join again if I have the opportunity. It was fantastic! 👏👏👏
