Passeios por Tenjin Ward

It was a fun day visiting Amanoiwato Shrine, Takachiho Railway, and Takachiho Gorge. The best part of the tour was Takachiho Gorge with the boat ride, followed by Amanoiwato Shrine. The railway trolley experience isn't a must, as you have to remain seated and it was a bit crowded. I wished there was more time to explore Takachiho Gorge after the boat ride. Overall, it was a great day. We had Jimmy as our guide; he's funny and provided excellent service by getting our boat and railway tickets early so we didn't have to wait in line.

Itinerary: Nyorinji Temple -> Kyushu Natural Zoological Park -> Yufuin The frog decorations at Nyorinji Temple are very unique, and it happened to be holding a wind chime festival, which added another highlight. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes here in the summer! Nyorinji Temple is located in a relatively remote area, and if you're not on a day tour, you really wouldn't come here 🤣 The most anticipated part of Kyushu Natural Zoological Park is definitely the Jungle Bus. Unfortunately, the tour guide said that tickets for the Jungle Bus are very difficult to buy and were already sold out early that day (we arrived around 11 am). However, fortunately, the tour guide drove our tour bus into the natural ecological zone, so we could still see wild animals up close (although we couldn't feed them ourselves). The停留時間 (stay time) was a bit short; after getting off the tour bus, I only had time to feed the ponies and queue up to hold guinea pigs. There wasn't enough time to visit other areas. Yufuin was more free and easy; the tour guide gave us a map and let us explore on our own. We ended up having lunch at a Japanese restaurant, where the fried chicken tempura was unexpectedly delicious! However, it was almost 2 pm when we arrived in Yufuin. If you get hungry easily, I recommend having a more substantial breakfast, or simply buying some rice balls or sandwiches to eat on the bus.

Eli was a great guide, she was very helpful, had lots of information, she was very nice, friendly, great english, I have experienced other tours in the past and this was my favorite, definitely felt like a local and like going out with a friend, ahe was lovely and I fully recomend!!!!! I had an amazing time, she was also very flexible and asked if we liked the itinerary she created, amazing really!! so so happy for this experience!!

We originally received a notice that the number of participants might be insufficient and we might not be able to accommodate, but then we didn't receive a cancellation notice. A comfortable and spacious bus was arranged, and assistance was provided in planning an itinerary suitable for the whole family, including the elderly and children. The tour guide was also very dedicated in their introductions, providing ample emotional value and sharing. The entire trip is worth a 5-star review, haha 😊

We rode in Ms. Wang Yuting's car, and the experience was excellent. Sister Wang successfully helped us get on the zoo's tour bus and provided adjustments to our itinerary. The entire trip was very good. Here are a few tips for those who will be booking later: [1] If you're going to the zoo from Fukuoka, try to leave before 7 AM so you can get a spot closer to the front of the tour bus line. [2] On the tour bus, you can sit on the right side to see more animals. [3] Don't spend too much time at Beppu Hells; take your photos and move on quickly, saving time for Yufuin. [4] The road from Beppu to Yufuin is a mountain road, and the entire stretch is beautiful and very much worth visiting. If you have children who get carsick, they can take motion sickness medicine beforehand.

本当に日帰りツアーを楽しみました。それぞれの場所を巡りながら、ツアーガイドから知識も学ぶことができました。高千穂峡を歩くと、その景色に心が癒されます。高千穂あまてらす鉄道に乗ると、また違った景色を楽しむことができます。

The itinerary was rich and not rushed, with ample time to explore each stop. My absolute favorite part was the zoo visit, where the guide provided detailed explanations, and we could enjoy watching the animals from the air-conditioned bus. When it suddenly started raining heavily as we were about to leave Lake Kinrin, the guide's thoughtfulness became even more apparent. He held an umbrella to escort group members without one back to the bus. Absolutely fantastic!

Great walking tour with Bruce, very knowledgeable about Fukuoka. Friendly and easy going which made for an enjoyable day. Took us to some hidden gems, loved by all. Highly recommended this tour. Thanks Bruce.
