Busy schedule packed day trip from Hakata. There was a little conflict but our guide Ms. Daisy did a wonderful job to make it work. Train was a bit short and I would recommend boat trip 100%. overall it was a good day.

This trip is pretty good. The Japanese train conductor on the small train is also very professional, stopping at a high point to spray a bubble machine. Even though it was raining, they were really dedicated. The colorful neon lights inside the small train tunnel are also a clever idea, so passengers won't feel bored. I have to say, the Japanese government's dedication to tourism is worth learning from. The experience at Takachiho Gorge afterwards was also great. Whether it's boating or the visual vastness of the gorge, waterfalls, etc., these natural landscapes are still very shocking when you're there. The tour guide on this trip was very busy with Chinese, English, and Japanese because the entire trip was probably a bit delayed due to the rain. Fortunately, it was later arranged very smoothly, and the guidance was also very considerate and professional. This trip was not bad, it's just that the Amanoiwato Shrine at the end was a bit eerie (in my opinion). But if I have the chance, I would like to participate in other trips again next time.

Today, the bus ride took 2.5 hours to arrive. If you were to take public transportation to Takachiho Gorge yourself, it would take 4.5 hours. If you're planning to visit, I recommend booking a local tour for convenience. Our tour leader, Daisy, was very professional and introduced the background of the attractions along the way.

Not too crowded on Saturday. We didn't make it in before 9:00 am. At first, we didn't know how to play, but the staff patiently explained. It was a lot of fun. I recommend going with children aged four and older. Book popular games in advance. There's a restaurant inside, and the food is delicious. We played from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. Time flew by. We ended up playing six different professions.

Easy to redeem at Hakata Station. When I went to redeem it, I was only third in line, so I expected it to be quick. However, the first two foreigners took more than 40 minutes to complete their transactions, causing me to miss my intended train. The main purpose of the trip was to see the Saga International Balloon Fiesta and the Karatsu Kunchi Festival. I also had time to visit the underwater torii gate at Taiyo Shrine, and it happened to be low tide, so I could walk out quite far. At Uminonakamichi Seaside Park, you can see Kochia during this time, which is very beautiful.

It was hassle-free and I enjoyed it as a solo traveller. Jimmy was the best tour guide for this. He was organized and helpful.

Everyone, this is the ultimate value for money~!!! You must try it, and guide Kim Hye-suk is really number one. She explains based on Japanese history, and it was so fun and informative. Our middle school son even said he wanted to go again the next day. Is this for real at this price? ^^ The weather was also awesome. Oh!!! I drew a great fortune at the shrine lol.
