Excursão de um dia ao Zoológico Natural de Fukuoka Kyushu e ao Lago Kinrin

The schedule, consisting of Hell Hot Springs, Yufuin, and African Safari, was packed with only the best attractions, leading to very high satisfaction. Among the tourist spots, the safari was particularly impressive. I can't quite recall the guide's name, but Ms. Tak Eun-ji's(?) detailed guidance was excellent, and the recommended must-try foods in Yufuin were incredibly delicious. Also, at the end of the trip, they recommended great restaurants and provided many useful tips, which I really appreciated.

This Kyushu trip was incredibly fulfilling! Tour guide Ms. Xu's performance was particularly outstanding. Her Mandarin and English are both very fluent, and her explanations were clear and vivid, allowing every tourist to deeply understand the charm of each attraction. During the itinerary, the tranquil streets of Yufuin and the morning mist of Kinrin Lake were picturesque; the azure hot springs of Umi Jigoku were an astonishing natural wonder. The Kyushu Natural Zoological Park offered a unique close-up animal experience, which was very novel and interesting. The only minor drawback was that if we could have stayed there a little longer, allowing everyone to experience it more leisurely, it would have been even more perfect. Overall, Ms. Xu's professional and meticulous explanations and thoughtful service, combined with the stunning scenery, made this an unforgettable journey. Highly recommended!

I recently went on a bus tour in Fukuoka that allowed me to visit the zoo, Beppu, and Yufuin all at once, and thanks to our guide, Kang Chun-hwa, it was a truly fulfilling and enjoyable time. At first, I was a little worried about visiting so many places in one day, but the guide meticulously managed the schedule, so I wasn't tired at all and could comfortably enjoy everything. Especially during transit, she kept the atmosphere lively with informative explanations and witty remarks, so my mother and I kept laughing throughout the trip. Walking through the charming landscapes of the Beppu hot spring area and the quaint streets of Yufuin, I truly felt the unique ambiance of Japan, and at the zoo, I found healing while watching the cute animals. My mother was also very satisfied, saying, "The guide's explanations made this trip even more memorable," which made me proud too. It was such a rich and fun tour that I didn't even realize how quickly the day passed. If I ever come to Fukuoka again, I definitely want to tour with Guide Kang Chun-hwa again!

The tour was really great, so I'm writing down a few tips for Koreans! At the initial meeting point, I didn't realize the person holding the Gogoda picket (yellow) was the tour guide. Fortunately, the guide sent a KakaoTalk message on the morning of the tour, so I called them and found them easily (there were many other tour meetings at the meeting point besides ours). Guide Kang Chun-hwa was very fluent in both Chinese and Korean, so I couldn't even guess their nationality! I was impressed by the detailed information and recommendations for places and food in every explanation, and they were very kind. I also liked that the tour schedule was leisurely enough to fully enjoy everything. My only regret is that it would have been better if we could have taken the zoo bus (some animals stick to the zoo bus asking for food), but it was good that the tour bus stopped well at every animal location (personally, I think sitting in the middle-right window when taking the car allows you to see more animals). ☆ We decided to stay in Beppu, so we didn't return to Hakata Station and got off after the last onsen tour. However, I also saw travelers who started the tour from Yufuin and returned to Hakata. I think it's good to use the tour bus in various ways. (The guide gave us a coupon in Yufuin, so I bought horse oil cream at a discount, and the recommended yogurt, which was about 330 yen, was truly heavenly, so I slurped down 4 yogurts on the spot ㅠㅠ I recommend the 330 yen one over other yogurts! You must also try the shiitake mushroom skewers!!! Haha, there's plenty of time to eat during the tour, so it's best to go without eating breakfast! ☆☆

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, I took a one-day tour to Hakata Kyushu Natural Zoological Park, Yufuin, Kinrin Lake, Beppu Umi Jigoku, and Kamado Jigoku. The itinerary was very fulfilling. Under the guidance of the multilingual tour guide, Hua Hua, the time arrangements throughout the trip were appropriate, and the explanations were detailed. She fully understood the environment and conditions of the itinerary at the time. The itinerary and the detailed arrangements were largely consistent with what I had imagined, allowing me to complete my ideal trip. All the service staff were very thoughtful and polite. Overall, it was a high-value experience worth recommending.

Hana, the tour guide from the travel agency, is a very professional guide who can fluently switch between Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. The tour group mainly consisted of Korean travelers, and Hana provided us with a lot of information about the attractions during the trip. This allowed us to focus on the relevant points of interest at each stop. It was a very fulfilling day trip, departing at 8:30 AM. We visited the zoo, Yufuin, Lake Kinrin, Umi Jigoku, and Kamado Jigoku, returning to Fukuoka by 6:00 PM.

Driver and tour guide are friendly. The time at the safari is insufficient. After driving through the safari, there were only 30 minutes left to see the remaining areas, which is not enough. Beppu's Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) is interesting.

On the day of departure, it was easy to find Tour Guide Tan and Mr. Zheng at the meeting point. Their signs were very clear, and they even helped me confirm if I was in the right place. Along the way, they explained attraction information in English and Mandarin, highlighting key points and methods for our visit, and then allowed us free time. If someone wasn't back on the bus in time, they would help find them before driving off, which made us feel very safe. My wife and children thoroughly enjoyed the entire day's itinerary, especially the hot spring foot bath, which was incredibly comfortable. We are very grateful to them.
