Reviews
I had an amazing experience at Yufuin! I wish I had more time to walk around at the onsen, but I still managed to take some great photos. The mountain scenery was breathtaking, and the village itself was visually stunning. The highlight of my trip was the train ride back to Hakata station. If you’re in the Kyushu area, especially Fukuoka, I highly recommend visiting Yufuin.
The tour was amazing from start to finish! Our guide Wendy was super kind and funny — she explained everything really well and even offered to take photos of me since I was traveling alone. We started with the Safari instead of Umi Jigoku because the weather was expected to be a bit rainy, and it was a great choice — we saw so many animals! Umi Jigoku was beautiful too, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere of Yufuin Village. The dorayaki our guide Wendy recommended was absolutely delicious! ✨ Highly recommend this experience! 🩷
We joined this tour and chose to take the Yufuin no Mori train back to Hakata, which saved us the hassle of booking tickets in advance. Plus, the Yufuin no Mori departed at 5:15 PM, giving us over an hour more time compared to the group bus departure, which was fantastic! Our tour guide, Ada, was very kind. She explained the itinerary and collected money for admission tickets on the bus. At Kyushu African Safari, she quickly helped us purchase tickets. Although we didn't get to ride the Jungle Bus (it was sold out), watching the wild animal area from the tour bus allowed for clearer photos and better viewing. The entire day's itinerary was very fulfilling; it was a wonderful day trip!
Tour guide Wendy exceeded expectations on the day trip and deserves a 5-star rating! She was friendly, enthusiastic, and always smiling, which made the whole trip feel warm and welcoming. At each attraction, she provided detailed explanations of the features and shared interesting stories, leaving a lasting impression. She also proactively helped us capture beautiful moments, and her photography skills are excellent, preserving precious memories. At Kyushu Natural Animal Park, her lively commentary deepened our understanding of the animals and nature. Wendy's professionalism and attention to detail made this trip comfortable and fulfilling. Highly recommended!!!!
The wildlife portion was actually quite fun. nice to see the animals run around. Soaking our feet in the hot springs was also very relaxing.
Our tour guide, Jimmy, was very dedicated. He clearly informed us of the meeting point and flag the day before, so we could easily find him upon arrival, which made us feel very secure. Throughout the tour, Jimmy provided detailed and patient explanations, clearly describing each attraction, and thoughtfully reminding us of important notes. This made the entire trip smooth and fulfilling. He is a very dedicated, professional, and reliable tour guide.
The itinerary was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guide Ada was very helpful and very attentive. She did a great job!
Hassle-free solo travel choice 💪🏻 Wanted to ride the Yufuin no Mori train, but it seemed too complicated online. I'm only staying in Fukuoka for 2 days anyway, so I ended up choosing Klook 🫰🏻 Jimmy Yanagi-san is very chatty and funny 💪🏻 Plus, I was the only solo female traveler on this tour, and every time we got on the bus, he would ask if the Hong Kong girl was there, worried that I hadn't boarded yet 🥰 Thank you Jimmy Yanagi-san 🤲🏻
The itinerary was packed, and I personally felt a bit rushed. I wanted to soak my feet in Beppu Onsen, but I was afraid I wouldn't have enough time. Although I expected not to be able to ride the Jungle Bus at the zoo, the itinerary photos included pictures of riding the Jungle Bus, which could be misleading. I suggest clarifying this in the itinerary description. About 2.5-3 hours in Yufuin, walking, stopping, and eating, felt a little rushed. Perhaps due to peak season, there were many members in the tour group, filling up the tour bus, and some members had to sit separately. The tour guide was very good and gave clear instructions. In the end, I took the Yufuin no Mori back to Hakata on my own. Perhaps because I had high expectations for the Yufuin no Mori, after riding it, I felt it was unique, but once was enough, and I wouldn't need to ride it again next time. Overall, it was good.
entire trip was very well planned and enough time was given at each stop. very disappointed as couldn’t get the jungle bus tickets despite arriving at ard 10am.
