Busy schedule packed day trip from Hakata. There was a little conflict but our guide Ms. Daisy did a wonderful job to make it work. Train was a bit short and I would recommend boat trip 100%. overall it was a good day.

This trip is pretty good. The Japanese train conductor on the small train is also very professional, stopping at a high point to spray a bubble machine. Even though it was raining, they were really dedicated. The colorful neon lights inside the small train tunnel are also a clever idea, so passengers won't feel bored. I have to say, the Japanese government's dedication to tourism is worth learning from. The experience at Takachiho Gorge afterwards was also great. Whether it's boating or the visual vastness of the gorge, waterfalls, etc., these natural landscapes are still very shocking when you're there. The tour guide on this trip was very busy with Chinese, English, and Japanese because the entire trip was probably a bit delayed due to the rain. Fortunately, it was later arranged very smoothly, and the guidance was also very considerate and professional. This trip was not bad, it's just that the Amanoiwato Shrine at the end was a bit eerie (in my opinion). But if I have the chance, I would like to participate in other trips again next time.

Today, the bus ride took 2.5 hours to arrive. If you were to take public transportation to Takachiho Gorge yourself, it would take 4.5 hours. If you're planning to visit, I recommend booking a local tour for convenience. Our tour leader, Daisy, was very professional and introduced the background of the attractions along the way.

○ Advantages 1. The guide is very friendly and explains things well. Thanks to them, I was able to have a delicious lunch. 2. The itinerary is well-organized, and it's nice to be able to get off at Yufuin. 3. It's good for going with friends or couples. ○ Disadvantages (Areas for Improvement) 1. The program is so full that the stay time at each course is too tight. I would like to have more time to look around, even if it means reducing the courses. It seems difficult to tour with elderly people.

It was hassle-free and I enjoyed it as a solo traveller. Jimmy was the best tour guide for this. He was organized and helpful.

I highly recommend this tour especially if you want to explore rural area like Kurokawa Onsen but coming to Fukuoka with small group or even alone. Tour is very nice and punctual, the guides are helpful (they have multiple speakers in Korean, Chinese, and English).

Everyone, this is the ultimate value for money~!!! You must try it, and guide Kim Hye-suk is really number one. She explains based on Japanese history, and it was so fun and informative. Our middle school son even said he wanted to go again the next day. Is this for real at this price? ^^ The weather was also awesome. Oh!!! I drew a great fortune at the shrine lol.
