Reviews
The exchange is very convenient. You can board the boat before or after the booking time. The scenery along the way is OK. The weather was very good that day, the night view was beautiful, and the weather was not very hot. We chose the 7pm flight, and the boat departed very quickly, which was good and did not delay our trip. Children need to wear protective clothing, but adults do not need to. The whole journey does not exceed 20 minutes, which feels just right. If it takes too long, I might fall asleep. Five stars can be given four stars, which is not bad!
The transaction was a breeze because we already have a voucher. It was easily recognizable at the counter and fully paid already so we didn’t have any problem entering. With a senior and kid in the group, it is really a life-saver!
The operator was friendly. We took the river cruise at night. I was expecting that along the way there would be lights at the bank. the lights were only in the section where the operator had its boats. On the other hand, we were given blankets to keep us warm and there was heating under the table. it was a comfortable ride.
This was absolutely an excellent experience. The boatman was young and handsome, rowed the boat very hard, and even sang to create a lively atmosphere. The night view was very beautiful, and all the passengers were very happy. The disembarkation point was easy to find. This boat trip was unforgettable, and it was cost-effective and worth recommending. Experience: An extremely pleasant experience!
The overall activity was pretty good. The service and atmosphere created by the store were perfect. It was just that you really only had to swim a short section of the Hakata River, probably the short section of the river behind the shopping street, and you just followed it back. I recommend that if you are tired from shopping, you can come and pay for a 30-minute rest. The atmosphere is very good. If you think there is really a special scenery, you may be disappointed.
There weren't many people, but the staff were very enthusiastic. They even gave us umbrellas to shield us from the heat, and the boatman was also very friendly, explaining things to us along the way.
The appointed time has come and we can’t find the place to get on the boat. The service staff searched for us along the river and found us outside two bridges, and let us get on the boat and enjoy the river cruise.
hakata river is very clear, the boat ride is smooth and educational.
awesome expirience very good staff safety: location: experience: equipment:
The access from the train station needs to be more detailed so that travelers won't be lost. The "boatman" would be more appreciated if they talked about a bit about the places we were passing through.
