Excursão de um dia em Kyushu: Trem Yufuin no Mori & Cidade de Yufuin & Templo Nyoirin-ji & Dazaifu & Fontes Termais do Inferno (partindo de Fukuoka)

I enjoyed this trip a lot. I saw plenty of cute and pretty things at Yufuin village. Just a little sad that the train ride was suspended during our time. However, we were able to spend longer time at other attractions. Our tour guide, Daisy, is such a kind person. She even made maps and food recommendations for us to try. Also, our bus driver drives carefully so I was able to rest between locations.

The tour package made our trip convenient. Our guide Jimmy was very enthusiastic and made the tour more enjoyable even with the rainy weather. The Yufuin no Mori train is a must to experience, and luckily the rain stopped during our ride (delayed but it was a blessing in disguise). For us, the itinerary was well planned with ample time to explore each destination. Make sure to bring a pair of slippers if you want to try the foot bath in Umijigoku. We really enjoyed our trip, thank you!

Our Chinese-speaking guide, Daisy, provided meticulous explanations throughout the entire trip and took great care of the elderly members of our group. She even created her own recommended Google lists for different areas and enthusiastically helped us call to order delicious kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) from the restaurant in front of Yufuin Station. We tried all three flavors – beef, chicken, and eel – and they were truly amazing! At Tenmangu Shrine, she professionally advised everyone on which shops to visit first (because they were closing soon) and shared how to pray and make wishes. On the way back, she recommended great places to eat and fun things to do in Fukuoka. Tour A offered a rich and interesting array of sights, allowing those who love shopping and good food to enjoy a fulfilling day. However, the itinerary was tight and felt a bit rushed, and the travel time between destinations took a while, so we couldn't fully enjoy shopping (how much do I love shopping, really?). Next time, I want to go to Yufuin by myself (I bought so many Miffy rabbits)!

Today, I participated in the Kyushu day tour led by tour guide Lily (Yufuin no Mori train, Yufuin town, Umi Jigoku hot spring, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine), and the overall experience was fantastic! My family and I have traveled to Japan many times, participating in nearly 20 day and two-day tours, and Lily is definitely one of the best tour guides I have ever met. Along the way, her explanations were not only detailed, lively, and interesting, but she was also very familiar with Kyushu's history, culture, and attractions. She thoughtfully reminded us of meeting times, photo spots, and important notes, making the entire day's itinerary well-organized. Even with longer travel times, we never felt bored. What's even more commendable is Lily's exceptional care for the group members; she always had a smile, patiently answered questions, and promptly assisted with any issues, making everyone feel at ease and comfortable. If I have the opportunity to travel to Kyushu again in the future, I will definitely prioritize tours led by Lily, and I sincerely recommend her to friends planning a trip to Kyushu. Thank you, Lily, for your dedication and professionalism, which left us with wonderful memories of this trip!

本日、ニコル・ヤンがガイドを務めてくれました。彼女は英語と北京語の両方に堪能で、ツアー中ずっと親しみやすく、とても親切でした！旅程と自由散策の時間は非常に適切でゆとりがあり、私たちは自分たちで会場を探索するのに十分なスペースと自由があると感じました。全体的に、福岡を初めて訪れる私たちにとって、素晴らしい経験でした。もしあなたが福岡を初めて訪れるなら、この旅行代理店の日帰り旅行に参加することをお勧めします！

Matthew is an excellent tour guide. His explanations and trivia are concise, informative, and easy to understand. He is very responsive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the tour. We needed to head to Beppu after the tour, and communication about our plans was smooth and effortless. Overall, he made the experience enjoyable and stress-free.

1. Tour guide Xiaoyu is proficient in Chinese, English, and Japanese. She explains everything at each attraction and repeatedly reminds us of the pick-up and drop-off times, making us feel at ease. 2. Be sure to check your email the day before to confirm your group number. There will be many, many day tours at the meeting point, so be sure to check in early to find your group. 3. This itinerary covered all the essential places, allowing us to sleep on the bus and enjoy the sights when we got off. It was excellent. We returned to Hakata around 6 PM, leaving time for our evening plans. 4. At Yufuin and Kinrin Lake, we walked around and took photos. We arrived at Yufu Mabushi Shin around 10 AM to queue and were the first to be seated for our meal. The food was served quickly, and the appetizers in the set meal were incredibly delicious! After about half an hour of eating, we still had an hour to quickly explore (I focused on the lake and Mabushi Shin) before hurrying back to the station for our meeting. When boarding the train, remember not to sleep the entire journey – Xiaoyu reminded us to visit the special carriages and get stamps. Also, make sure to take plenty of photos of your ticket and keep it safe. 5. At Umi Jigoku, there's a free foot bath. Even soaking for a few minutes can relieve the morning's foot fatigue. It seemed not many people from our group went to use the foot bath.

The guide was fluent in both English and Mandarin. She was also helpful and friendly. The itinerary was good. The driving periods were neither too long nor too short. The view going to Beppu was amazing. Do note, however, that everything looks bigger in the pictures. The driver also drove smoothly.

I joined a one-day tour and had a great experience overall. The tour was well organized and started on time. At first, I couldn’t find the meetup details, so I contacted the agent. It turned out the information email had gone to my junk folder, so be sure to check there before reaching out. Ada did an excellent job as our guide. She shared useful information about each destination before we arrived, explained local customs and etiquette for worship, and recommended good local restaurants and dishes to try. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish, making the whole trip enjoyable and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This was my first time traveling with a Klook tour, and I went with my mom. Li Jing was a wonderful tour guide 🤍. She was very approachable, polite, and had a good sense of humor, always looking out for each one of us. She introduced us to every attraction and related Japanese culture and history, and she also made sure to explain the meeting times, locations, restroom facilities (which is very important, haha!), and what was good to buy versus what to avoid 🫠. I highly recommend Tour Guide Li Jing! And thanks to the driver, Japanese drivers are incredibly polite 😭. I felt the itinerary was well-paced, but it was a shame that most shops in Dazaifu (snack shops, souvenir shops, etc.) closed promptly at 5 PM 😅. We didn't get to browse properly because we arrived after 4 PM 🥲, but there was nothing we could do, as the itinerary was already very well-planned 🫶🏻.
