Highly recommended! A wonderful introduction to Kyushu’s beauty, nature, history, culture, and scenery all in one trip. Thanks to Kevin, it was smooth, informative, and really enjoyable. If you’re in Fukuoka and want to see the best of Kyushu without planning it all yourself, this tour is a winner! ✅
Kevin was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, organized, and very knowledgeable, he explained history, culture, and little travel tips that made the day smoother. Speaking English, Chinese and Nihongo. He kept everyone on time without rushing, checked that we were comfortable, and was happy to answer every question. Truly made the trip more enjoyable! Thank you Kevin.

This was a tour I took with my parents. I was worried the schedule might be a bit too tight, but we were able to take our time exploring at a relaxed pace, and my parents had no trouble at all. In particular, our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, was truly exceptionally kind and gave fantastic explanations, making the tour even more satisfying. Our driver was also skilled, so we were able to travel without any motion sickness. Thanks to everyone, we were able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

This day trip was really fun, and the entire itinerary was very well arranged! 😊
The first stop was Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell). The scenery was truly stunning, and seeing it in person was even more breathtaking than in the photos. Everywhere was great for taking pictures, and I easily got so many gorgeous shots!
The second stop was the zoo, which turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise! Besides lions, tigers, giraffes, and camels, there were quite a few animals that are usually rarely seen. Some of them were even new to me, which felt very fresh and exciting. The animals were also very cute, and I had a great time watching them!
Finally, we went to Yufuin. It is a really lively place with many unique little shops and all kinds of snacks. You can walk and eat along the way while slowly soaking in the atmosphere of a small Japanese town—so much fun!
Additionally, I really have to give a special shout-out to our tour guide, Jimmy Ryu-san! He was enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive. He explained the whole itinerary very clearly, reminding us in advance about meeting times, boarding locations, and where the restrooms were, which gave us great peace of mind. Along the way, he also shared interesting stories about life in Japan, making it feel like chatting with a friend so we were never bored!
All in all, this was truly a very pleasant trip with great sights, excellent arrangements, and a very dedicated tour guide. If I have the chance again next time, I will definitely join! Highly recommended with five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Lisa! She brought us to Dazaifu Shrine, Beppu Hell Hot Springs and Yufuin Village, making the entire journey enjoyable and memorable.
Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. She shared interesting insights about each destination and made sure we had a wonderful experience throughout the trip. What impressed us even more was how she went the extra mile by recommending other places to visit and restaurants to try during our remaining days in Fukuoka.
Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a thoughtful tour guide in Fukuoka. Thank you, Lisa, for making our trip so memorable!

The pacing of this tour is just right for me. Ample time per destination. I was initially worried we would be rushed at Yufuin Village but for me I was able to really roam around. Our tourguide is Nicole Yang and she was fluent in both English & Mandarin. Easy to understand and very helpful + friendly.

Traveling with the tour was very convenient. The guide took good care of us and provided great recommendations, allowing us to visit a variety of places in just one day. For those who prefer not to rent a car and drive, having 2 hours at the Takachiho Gorge, including the round-trip walk, was more than enough time. In the afternoon, we visited Mt. Aso. Even though the crater was closed, we were able to see the views up close at two different spots. Kusasenri offered beautiful scenery, though 1 hour might be a bit tight for sightseeing, having a meal, and shopping for souvenirs. Overall, it was a very worthwhile and convenient experience with everything covered, including a stop at a service area along the way.

It was a truly impressive trip. I was the only English speaker, but the guide. Zhu Zhu, took good care of me, ensuring I fully understood everything about the tour. The experience far exceeded my expectations.

Be ready to count your steps here! Nature vibes and a little bit of downhill/uphill walk. Still, the view was worth it ✨️❤️ Would recommend to book with lunch. We didn't expect it to have such quality meat for the price. It was really a surprise, glad we availed it 😊

Yufu at a glance
Quick facts about Yufu
General info
What to know before visiting Yufu
What to do in Yufu year-round
Yufu’s busiest bookings come from Tours, followed by Cultural experiences and Outdoor & sports activities, so the city is best known for guided excursions and hands-on local culture, with occasional outdoor adventures. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in May and remains high in April and July, while August is unusually quiet—plan around that rhythm. For travellers from the Philippines deciding when to visit, pick between lively festival-style months and quieter discovery time. Klook booking data suggests tours fill up in peak months, so book sooner for popular guided experiences.
Best months to visit and prices
May is the clearest peak for visitor demand, with April and July also busy; August is the quietest month. Prices drift through the year: the data’s price series shows the lowest typical paid median in July and August at PHP 2,200, while the priciest typical month is January at PHP 2,795. Where demand and prices align, May and July are both busy and relatively costly on Klook; for lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for August or July. Klook booking data informs these patterns and the price series below.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,795 |
| February | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,735 |
| March | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,735 |
| April | Peak demand | PHP 2,676 |
| May | Peak demand | PHP 2,735 |
| June | Busier than usual | PHP 2,676 |
| July | Peak demand | PHP 2,200 |
| August | Very quiet | PHP 2,200 |
| September | Very quiet | PHP 2,676 |
| October | Very quiet | PHP 2,616 |
| November | Busier than usual | PHP 2,616 |
| December | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,735 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines typically book about 6 days ahead, while the earliest planners lock in experiences around three weeks out. That means you can be flexible and often book a day or two before travel, but during the peak months of April, May and July it pays to secure tours earlier. On Klook you can compare typical itineraries and prices, keep an eye on the May–July peaks, and reserve the popular guided tours a few weeks ahead for peace of mind. Klook booking data backs these lead-time patterns and helps you decide when to book.
