We'd like to thank tour guide Mr. Mao for his dedicated and sincere leadership, which allowed us to learn more about the history of Northern Kyushu. The timing of the trip was also perfectly managed, never feeling rushed, making for a fulfilling day. Thank you.

The Yufuin tour I ended up taking was a replacement for another tour that was canceled due to insufficient participants, but it was much better than I expected. We had plenty of time to look around at our leisure, and I really liked the itinerary. Our guide, Lia, was also incredibly kind and provided a lot of explanations about various things, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks to her, we had a comfortable and pleasant trip. Guide Lia is the best!!!

I recently participated in the Mojiko, Motonosumi Shrine, and Mount Sarakura bilingual day tour led by our guide, Ada, and I was extremely satisfied and grateful. Ada had a deep understanding of the history and itinerary for these locations. In Mojiko, we enjoyed local curry dishes, and Ada provided us with many excellent recommendations. Afterward, at Motonosumi Shrine, we admired the magnificent scenery, which was truly unforgettable. Finally, the panoramic views from the observation deck on Mount Sarakura were absolutely breathtaking. Ada is not only a professional guide but also a very enthusiastic and kind person, and I am very thankful for her efforts.

Ada was kind and professional, and the itinerary was enjoyable. There was no need to worry about getting lost, though the travel time was a bit long. If I have the chance again, I'd love to join another tour to see different scenery.

Today, the last day of February, happens to be a Saturday, and Motonosumi Shrine is open. The second stop was to visit the sea torii gate, the first stop was to taste pufferfish sashimi at Karato Market, and the last stop was to admire the 10 billion-dollar night view of Sarakura Mountain. The tour guide provided a detailed introduction to the history and cuisine of these three attractions, enriching the day trip.
