Kitakyushu

It was hard to find the way to the cafe since it is located within a small building in a small street without any prominent landmark. Even asking for directions from passer-by doesn't help as they do not seem to know the location based on street name or building name. Need to rely on GPS to find the way there. If you have a booking for this cafe, it is advisable to go there earlier to find the way. English language ability of the maids are very low. At times, there is a need to rely on translation app. The experience could have been better if they provide instructions in English and Japanese on cards so that the maids can point to the sentence they want to convey to foreign customers when the need arises. The overall experience was still satisfactory despite the language barrier. The maids danced well and maintained interactions with me even though they are unable to communicate well in English.

This was a tour I took with my parents. I was worried the schedule might be a bit too tight, but we were able to take our time exploring at a relaxed pace, and my parents had no trouble at all. In particular, our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, was truly exceptionally kind and gave fantastic explanations, making the tour even more satisfying. Our driver was also skilled, so we were able to travel without any motion sickness. Thanks to everyone, we were able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Traveling with the tour was very convenient. The guide took good care of us and provided great recommendations, allowing us to visit a variety of places in just one day. For those who prefer not to rent a car and drive, having 2 hours at the Takachiho Gorge, including the round-trip walk, was more than enough time. In the afternoon, we visited Mt. Aso. Even though the crater was closed, we were able to see the views up close at two different spots. Kusasenri offered beautiful scenery, though 1 hour might be a bit tight for sightseeing, having a meal, and shopping for souvenirs. Overall, it was a very worthwhile and convenient experience with everything covered, including a stop at a service area along the way.

Kaiken kaikkiaan matka oli hyvä, mutta toivon, että meillä olisi ollut enemmän aikaa tutustua Mojikoon. Koska kyseessä oli viikonloppu, Sarakura-vuori oli hyvin ruuhkainen ja siellä oli pitkät jonot. Valitettavasti missasimme auringonlaskun ja saavuimme huipulle vasta, kun oli jo pimeää, tuulista ja todella kylmää, joten nähtävää ei ollut paljon. Matkanjohtajamme Robin oli todella mukava ja huomaavainen ja piti hyvää huolta kaikista koko matkan ajan.

Matka oli todella vaikuttava. Olin ainoa englanninkielinen osallistuja, mutta opas, Zhu Zhu, piti minusta hyvää huolta ja varmisti, että ymmärsin kaiken kiertomatkaan liittyvän. Kokemus ylitti odotukseni kirkkaasti.

worth the whole price!@ i would recommand to everyone to do this . hope you will have a sunny day like I had. guide was pretty nice with us . we had a small group of less than 10 ppl it was perfect. we had the chance to have a photographer too .( the guide lol ) thanks for all your help Ku .

Vaikka tällä päiväretkellä oli vain 3 kohdetta, jokaisella niistä oli omat erityispiirteensä ja ne olivat vierailun arvoisia. Karaton-torin sushit olivat erittäin tuoreita ja herkullisia. Emme menneet suosituimpaan paikkaan, koska siellä oli aivan liikaa jonoa, vaan valitsimme sattumanvaraisesti läheisen ravintolan ja olimme erittäin tyytyväisiä, varsinkin tonnikalan vatsapalaan, joka suli suuhun! Pufferkalasashimi ei tuonut yllätyksiä. Motonosumi-pyhäkön punaiset torii-portit, joiden taustalla näkyivät sininen taivas, valkoiset pilvet ja loputon meri, saivat meidät ottamaan huomaamattamme kymmeniä valokuvia! Sarakura-vuori on lumoava sekä hämärän että iltavalaistuksen aikaan! Se sopii erinomaisesti valokuvauksen harrastajille, mutta edestakaisia köysirataosuuksia varten on varattava riittävästi aikaa. Opas herra Zhang oli erittäin huomaavainen, kertoi aina selvästi kokoontumisajat ja muistutti kaikkia siitä, milloin kannattaa käydä vessassa. Retken ja nähtävyyksien taustatietojen esittäminen matkan varrella englanniksi, mandariinikiinaksi ja japaniksi sujui täysin vaivattomasti, ja hän on kiitoksen ansainnut!

Our trip along the popular Itoshima route in Kyushu with Eiichii was absolute perfection from start to finish. Exploring six distinct and beautiful stops in a single day could easily feel rushed, but Eiichii’s meticulous planning and organization made the entire journey incredibly comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. He was incredibly accommodating, fluently switching between English and Chinese to make sure everyone felt included and well-informed. Eiichii treated every guest with the utmost warmth and respect throughout the day. To top it off, he was an amazing photographer—he took the time to ensure everyone got great photos at every single location. If you are visiting Kyushu, I cannot recommend Eiichii enough. He made our trip unforgettable!

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:)
