Oita, Kyushu | Excursão de um dia ao Zoológico Natural de Kyushu, Monte Yufu, Yufuin, Lago Kinrin e Umi Jigoku (partindo de Fukuoka)

That time my family can not have fixed plan until Apr 26th night. So I made a booking at 1AM Apr 27th, when I was already too sleepy and the tour we want to go already full until May 8th while I want to arrange a tour on Apr 28th. Then I have to change to another tour with another day , Apr 29th. Then I still get up so early on Apr 28th cause in my mind it’s Apr 28th. But on a bad day I still got lucky cause I met a very nice tour guide - Ada. She helped me until me and my family can have a seat on bus. Without her I don’t know if I can do anything to rearrange my plan. Shoutout to Ada👏🏻 Then I met another nice girl sitting next to me on a tour bus. She is from Hongkong and wanna take a picture with me

Today, I joined a one-day tour to Kyushu, visiting four attractions. I initially thought the pace would be rushed, but it wasn't tiring at all because the driver and tour guide arranged everything perfectly throughout the trip. Our tour guide, Jin, was practically a walking encyclopedia! His explanations were engaging and so humorous that even the elderly and children listened attentively to his stories. **First Stop: Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) - A Spectacle of Two-Colored Hot Springs ♨️** It turns out the blue and red hot spring pools have different mineral compositions. Tour guide Jin meticulously explained why two pools so close to each other would have different colors. **Second Stop: Kyushu African Safari Park 🦁** I thought the elderly and teenagers would find watching animals boring, but to my surprise, everyone was constantly exclaiming "Wow, wow, wow!" and taking photos of the animals. Although we couldn't ride the cage bus to feed the animals, we still managed to take many beautiful photos of them while touring in the air-conditioned bus. My family's favorite part was feeding the ponies and petting the kangaroos. **Third Stop: Yufuin Street Food Guide 🍡** Before we got off the bus, tour guide Jin provided each family with a Yufuin food map. We took the elderly and the young ones to explore the street food, trying various local delicacies, but the weather was really hot! **Fourth Stop: Mount Yufu Trailhead ⛰️** The last stop of the itinerary was the Mount Yufu trailhead. I initially thought it would be unremarkable, planning to just get off the bus for 10 minutes to take a photo. To my surprise, it was like an IMAX theater with a super-sized mountain view! The lush green mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, truly refreshing!

The greatest trip with tour guide Wendy. Fruitful day trip recommended for family with kids. Wendy is super helpful and taking care to kids. We had a wonderful experience.

The entire itinerary was well-planned, and the tour leader provided excellent, friendly service, taking great care of all the group members. The driver also drove very safely and steadily. The whole trip was well-arranged, with reasonable time allocated for sightseeing at each location. This tour is highly recommended. The only area for improvement would be at Kyushu African Safari, where taking the park's cage bus could enhance the experience. Although traveling by tour bus offers a comfortable environment for viewing animals, the cage bus allows for feeding and closer interaction with wild animals. We hope this adjustment can be considered 👍

去動物園的行程小朋友很喜歡，小小遺憾是沒有排到餵食專車， 海地獄很特別，吃了蒸的小饅頭跟布丁，都很好吃！ 最後一站是由布院，很好逛、也很好吃、很好拍照📷 整體行程很輕鬆、很好玩👍導遊小楊也很熱情、推薦福岡的餐廳跟解說路過的景點。

Very chill tour. Well paced and organized. The attractions were also nice. Tour time in the itinerary was followed.

Today's day trip itinerary was the zoo, Yufuin, and Beppu. Our tour guide, Wengy, was incredibly impressive, fluently switching between Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese, and Taiwanese. Within the limited time, she highlighted all the must-try foods and must-visit spots, allowing us to see as much as possible in a short period. Of course, the time wasn't quite enough, so we'll save that regret for next time. Perhaps we can stay in Yufuin and drive around at a more relaxed pace then.

Tour guide Jimmy Liu-san was very nice and interesting, and the driver was also excellent. Regarding the itinerary: Yufuin is great for shopping, and for travelers who love shopping and taking photos, two and a half hours isn't enough, which is a bit of a shame. However, the day trip was very relaxing and convenient, so overall, I still highly recommend it!

The itinerary was well-arranged, and the tour leader's explanations were excellent. It's perfect for those who don't drive themselves. If you were to visit these attractions by public transport, it would be time-consuming and relatively difficult to get to! I highly recommend joining a tour group 🥰, and our tour leader, Moon, explained everything wonderfully! She even suggested restaurants for us to try in Yufuin.

導遊細心體貼，座位安排適當，動物園大家都看的很開心，各地特色及特點都介紹的不錯，注意事項也都有一再提醒，我們跟小朋友都玩的很愉快盡興
