My experience on the Kyushu Yamaguchi Secret Tour (Akiyoshido Cave) was incredible from start to finish. Akiyoshido Cave is an absolute masterpiece of nature—massive, surreal, and breathtakingly beautiful. What truly made the day exceptional, though, was our tour guide, Cico. She was exceptionally informative, guiding us through the history and formations of the cave with fascinating details. She also went above and beyond by sharing fantastic local food recommendations and tips on what to try next. To top it all off, Cico took some amazing candid photos of us throughout the trip that captured the moment perfectly. If you are taking this tour, I genuinely hope you get Cico as your guide. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience. We easily found the meeting point at Hakata Station. Our guide, Nanami, was incredibly friendly and effortlessly switched between Chinese, Japanese, and English, explaining the itinerary and providing brief details about the attractions. The mini-bus was also very comfortable, and the driver was skilled. If you have luggage, you need to contact them via email in advance. We were lucky today; although it was cloudy with scattered showers, it didn't rain during our visits to the attractions, even though it rained heavily on the road. The turbulent sea and the vibrant red torii gate offered a wonderful experience. Akiyoshido Cave was quite cool inside, so bringing a jacket is recommended; it felt like a cave exploration. The crepes at the ice cream shop by the cave entrance were mediocre and not cheap.

Lisa was our tour guide, and she was phenomenal in guiding us through the spots our bus took us too. She was happy to tell us the location for good photos and to help us take photos, too. She spoke English and Mandarin well to everyone in the bus. This tour specifically is worth it!

This is my first time join local tour. I have good experience on that. Because tour guides very nice, explain very clearly and detail on our tour. And always update and remind us important information through what app, pay attention on her customer service. I’m appreciate on her guide in this trip, I’m very enjoyable and very happy! This tour was very interesting and nice place for me to visit. I will recommend to everyone:)

A day full of interesting places, prepare for a long drive though..and bring food with you if you can, lots of them..The shrine is pretty but I love the stay at Moriko Port. This is a good value for money, thanks Nicole for a well organised trip..you’re English is good!

Great value for money. The places we went to were far from each other so having joined this tour was definitely worth it. I personally love the view from Mt. Sarakura. It was a stunning sun shining view from the cable car and from the viewing decks. It was truly breathtaking. How we wished we could have seen the actual sunset from the top as well as the night view but since it was summer, the sunset will be at 19:30 and the tour needs to comply with the set schedule. Tour guide Hedy was nice and approachable. We had a smooth ride and we felt like the timings on each designated stops had ample time to enjoy the places without the need to rush. I highly recommend this especially if you want to maximize your time in Fukuoka and visit many places in just one day.

Jimmy Liu was one of the most funny and entertaining guides we’ve had during our Fukuoka trip, it was a fantastic time with Jimmy and our trip up to Kitakyushu! To provide a better context Kitakyushu is quite up north from Fukuoka and each destination would take 1.5-2.5hrs (which can be challenging for young children who are more restless). The rides were long but the views were amazing. We had enough time to enjoy each place, especially at Mojiko Port where we got to experience wonderful grilled Japanese curry! The rest of the destinations were beautiful and scenic. I do recommend this trip if you are looking to enjoy the natures and wonders of Kitakyushu!

We really wanted to see Motonosumi Shrine. However, the original tour that we wanted to join was already full the day that is available for us so we decided to book this tour. Little did we know that we have booked a tour with "Chinese/Japanese-speaking tour guide" even if we don't speak any of the two languages. Despite this, our tour guide, Mr. Wang, did his best to guide us using a translation app. The initial plan for the tour is we explore Mojiko on our own then ride the ferry to go to the Karato Fish market and the tour guide will meet us there. However, Mr. Wang volunteered to take us to the fish market through the van instead of the ferry so we will not be lost. We respectfully declined his offer because we wanted to experience riding the ferry. We really felt his sincere concern for us. We are very satisfied with this tour. Thank you, Mr. Wang!
