I signed up for this tour because it allowed me to thoroughly explore Karato Market, Mojiko, Kokura Castle, and Dazaifu all in one day during my trip to Fukuoka! Since I was traveling alone, I was even more pleased that it was a tour I could join as a single participant 😊.
When I actually went, I noticed there were more families and couples than I expected! At first, I was worried it might feel a bit awkward being alone, but once I joined, it wasn't uncomfortable at all, haha. I think solo travelers can join without any hesitation.
It was really fun at Karato Market, where I could pick and choose various sushi to eat 🍣. There were so many options, which made choosing enjoyable, and I really got to experience the atmosphere of a local Japanese market.
Mojiko had such a beautiful, retro vibe! Especially in front of the banana statue, the guide even took photos for me, which I really appreciated as a solo traveler 📸. When you're traveling alone, it can be surprisingly difficult to get good photos even in beautiful places, but thanks to the guide, I was able to get some great souvenir photos from my trip, haha.
Kokura Castle and Dazaifu were also included in the itinerary, allowing me to see major tourist attractions all at once. I also liked that I could shop at Don Quijote! When traveling in Japan, there are so many things I want to buy, and not having to carry my shopping bags around meant I could comfortably enjoy the rest of my itinerary 🛍️.
Finally, being able to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine allowed me to truly soak in the atmosphere of a Japanese trip ⛩️.
If I had tried to visit these places alone using public transportation, moving around would have been cumbersome, and planning the itinerary wouldn't have been easy. But with the tour, it was much more convenient to see multiple places. Plus, having a Korean-speaking guide made it easy to understand the explanations!
Joining alone wasn't daunting at all, and it turned out to be even more fun than I expected. Next time, I'd love to do it again with my friends as a group~! 🥰
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy a fulfilling day trip from Fukuoka! 🇯🇵🍣✨
