Passeios por Hakata Station

Several of the attractions are natural energy spots, shaded by green trees, perfect for breathing fresh air and cleansing the mind, and you can also learn about the origins of Japanese mythology. It's not very convenient to get to these attractions from Fukuoka, so this tour was a great help, and the arrangements were very reasonable. Kamishikimi Kumano Shrine is integrated with nature, full of greenery, much like a place where kodama (tree spirits) might appear in Princess Mononoke. Amano Iwato Shrine and Amano Yasukawara are associated with the story of the eight million gods luring Amaterasu Omikami out of hiding. Takachiho Gorge is where the heavenly grandchild descended to Ashihara no Nakatsukuni (the Central Land of Reed Plains), and the air there carries a divine quality that inspires awe. Since there are places that require climbing stairs and hills, it can be a bit physically demanding, so just be mentally prepared and climb with enthusiasm! Our tour leader, Zheng Yu, switched freely between Chinese and Korean, providing thoughtful guidance with clear instructions. He clearly communicated the meeting times for each spot in advance and also informed us that there wouldn't be a dedicated lunch break, so we would need to eat during our free time, while also pointing out convenient dining locations. It felt like the time allotted for each place was just right, never rushed. Finally, he even gave us specialty steamed buns from Takachiho Gorge as souvenirs. It didn't rain during the rainy season, so the weather was very cooperative. The tour leader was very organized, and the fellow travelers were very nice. The experience was excellent! Grateful thanks 🙏🏻

This project is a highly valuable and worthwhile itinerary. I originally read online that Kumamoto Castle might be under maintenance and closed for visitors, but fortunately, we successfully visited! The ginkgo and cherry trees are truly beautiful – the timing was just right. If you want to eat and shop, you need to pick up the pace and take fewer photos, then you'll have a chance to try the food. The tempura is super delicious and a must-try; it's sold alongside the bear-shaped cakes, and both are really tasty and cute. Aso Volcano was a pity... we couldn't visit due to the red alert, which was the only disappointment. The tour guide said it's very rare to encounter Aso Volcano on a green alert, and even the guide couldn't predict the timing. The scenery is truly beautiful, and by the way, you absolutely must bring a windbreaker! We thought it wouldn't be cold, but it was freezing. You should try the coffee, and if you want to experience buying a lucky bag in Japan, you can get one. The lucky bags contain a selection of the store's key items, so if you don't want to pick out souvenirs, you can just buy a lucky bag; there are quite a few things inside that you can give as gifts! It's excellent value for money, though it did rain a few times and disrupted things! Oh, and there's a supermarket where you should definitely buy whatever you can. Aso Musume strawberries are very popular, but they are incredibly sweet and delicious, not sour at all, with a fragrant strawberry aroma. There are also other varieties of strawberries, and the prices are all excellent!

I was deeply impressed by the professional performance of our tour guide, Kanesan Coco, during this one-day tour of Kyushu. The itinerary covered the Takachiho Railway, Takachiho Gorge, and Amano Iwato Shrine. Kanesan Coco introduced the characteristics of each attraction clearly and in depth, and supplemented them with local culture and mythological backgrounds, making the entire journey more informative and engaging. Her meticulousness in itinerary management, meeting reminders, and looking after the group members was also commendable. The arrangements were well-organized, ensuring everyone felt safe and at ease throughout the trip. Overall, this experience was smooth and enjoyable, and I fully felt her professionalism and passion for service. I sincerely recommend Kanesan Coco; she is a trustworthy and excellent tour guide.

Tour guide Kevin is very experienced and responsible. He goes above and beyond to satisfy the group members, is meticulous and reliable, making this a day tour absolutely worth joining!

Der Reiseleiter war freundlich und auf den Punkt gebracht. Die Burg Nijo war für mich überbewertet – sie hatte leere Räume im Inneren, was für mich keinen Sinn ergab. Kinkaku-ji ist ein Muss in Kyoto, die Gegend um Arashiyama und Fushimi Inari waren ebenfalls hervorragend. Meine Eltern gehen nicht viel, aber sie konnten dies bequem in der Zeit bewältigen, die wir an jedem Ort hatten. Wir sind nur zum Startpunkt für Fushimi Inari gegangen. Für Arashiyama nehmen Sie unbedingt den Bambusweg und betreten Sie dann den Tenryu-ji-Tempel durch den Hintereingang – das verkürzt den Fußweg und der Tempel hat einen wunderschönen Garten.

Our guide was amazing. She was knowledgeable and super sweet. There was just enough information and fun facts that she curated about each sumo wrestler. She highlighted some popular sumo wrestlers among viewers and reminded us of when they would be on stage. This has got to be one of the highlights of my trip. We got super lucky with the place and timing. My husband and I enjoyed every bit and learning about sumo wrestling. The meeting point may be a bit confusing, but we got there about 15 minutes early to leave wiggle room. ☺️

Masami meticulously introduced the characteristics and historical stories of each attraction, answering almost every question. Highly recommended to friends who are interested in the future.

我和我的家人都参加了，我们对导游Sekina非常满意。她主要说普通话，老实说，我觉得她的英语还算过得去。不过她非常乐于助人，而且在食物推荐方面也很棒。这次旅行有点赶，但我们确实去了三个地方，它们之间距离很远，所以开车时间很长。
