Excursii Hyotan Onsen

This day trip was really fun, and the entire itinerary was very well arranged! 😊 The first stop was Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell). The scenery was truly stunning, and seeing it in person was even more breathtaking than in the photos. Everywhere was great for taking pictures, and I easily got so many gorgeous shots! The second stop was the zoo, which turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise! Besides lions, tigers, giraffes, and camels, there were quite a few animals that are usually rarely seen. Some of them were even new to me, which felt very fresh and exciting. The animals were also very cute, and I had a great time watching them! Finally, we went to Yufuin. It is a really lively place with many unique little shops and all kinds of snacks. You can walk and eat along the way while slowly soaking in the atmosphere of a small Japanese town—so much fun! Additionally, I really have to give a special shout-out to our tour guide, Jimmy Ryu-san! He was enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive. He explained the whole itinerary very clearly, reminding us in advance about meeting times, boarding locations, and where the restrooms were, which gave us great peace of mind. Along the way, he also shared interesting stories about life in Japan, making it feel like chatting with a friend so we were never bored! All in all, this was truly a very pleasant trip with great sights, excellent arrangements, and a very dedicated tour guide. If I have the chance again next time, I will definitely join! Highly recommended with five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Acest tur a fost foarte bun dacă iubiți animalele și doriți să le vedeți de aproape. Mi-a plăcut ghidul, Zhu Zhu a fost atât de drăguță și chiar dacă vorbea puțin engleză, a fost minunată și s-a asigurat că am putut ține pasul cu restul grupului. A fost atât de încântătoare și bună la suflet, m-a ajutat să comand mâncare de la toate magazinele și mi-a oferit umbrela ei și chiar și merele dulci. Recomand cu căldură acest traseu, veți vedea multe într-o singură zi!

This was my first time participating in a one-day tour, and I'm so glad our guide, Li Jing, assisted us on this trip. The entire itinerary was smooth and seamless. Throughout the journey, our guide diligently explained Japanese customs, traditions, and the origins of geographical names to the group. At the Blood Pond Hell, she took group photos for each family, explained the reason behind the red water, and pointed out the best photo spots. At the zoo, although we couldn't participate in the feeding activity because the feeding cart slots were full, our guide specially arranged seating so that every family could see the scenery on both sides of the zoo. The matcha-like Mount Yufu and the fairytale-like Yufuin village left a deep impression!

Familia mea nu a putut avea un plan fix până în noaptea de 26 aprilie. Așa că am făcut o rezervare la ora 1 dimineața pe 27 aprilie, când eram deja prea somnoros, iar turul pe care voiam să-l facem era deja plin până pe 8 mai, în timp ce eu voiam să organizez un tur pe 28 aprilie. Apoi a trebuit să schimb cu un alt tur, într-o altă zi, pe 29 aprilie. Apoi m-am trezit tot foarte devreme pe 28 aprilie, pentru că în mintea mea era 28 aprilie. Dar într-o zi proastă am avut totuși noroc, pentru că am întâlnit un ghid turistic foarte drăguț - Ada. Ea m-a ajutat până când eu și familia mea am putut avea un loc în autobuz. Fără ea nu știu dacă aș fi putut face ceva pentru a-mi rearanja planul. Felicitări Adei! Apoi am întâlnit o altă fată drăguță, care stătea lângă mine într-un autobuz turistic. Ea este din Hong Kong și a vrut să facă o poză cu mine.

Amazing experience! Our tour guide, Emily-san, was very helpful and made the experience even better! I really appreciated how she would walk over to our seats to explain the information in English before translating it for the whole group in Chinese. Moreover, I initially thought that the African Safari might not meet my expectations, but it ended up being one of the best parts of the trip! The jungle buses were fully booked, so we went in on our tour bus instead, with safari music playing in the background. It was such a fun and unique experience! My friend also realized that she had left her phone in the restroom while we were on our way to Yufuin. Emily-san immediately contacted someone, and thankfully, the phone was found! Things could have turned out very differently, so we were really impressed by how quickly and calmly she handled the situation. Thank you, Emily-san, for making our trip such a wonderful and memorable experience! ❤️

The onsen eggs and pudding we tasted amidst the thick steam of Yufuin Umi Jigoku were such a delicacy that they made us forget the hot weather, and the dreamlike cobalt blue of Kamado Jigoku also left a deeper impression than expected. Next, we visited Kyushu Natural Zoological Park (African Safari), which, living up to its reputation as the largest in Japan, offered a special experience of encountering the most diverse and numerous wild animals I've ever seen, from lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes to kangaroos, meerkats, and squirrel monkeys. Traveling along the safari road in a tour bus, we were able to observe the animals up close in their natural state, which was truly breathtaking. Afterward, we enjoyed the picturesque scenery of Lake Kinrin and then had an excellent meal at a soba restaurant highly recommended by our guide, which perfectly complemented the profound landscape. Strolling through the shopping street near the lake, tasting the famous Kinsho croquettes and honey ice cream, and exploring the charming streets also added to our simple pleasures. Undoubtedly, the highlight of this trip was meeting our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, who is fluent in both Chinese and Korean. Thanks to her excellent professionalism and passionate guidance, we enjoyed a perfect and fulfilling journey without a single flaw. Moreover, she also possessed exceptional photography skills, and we were fortunate enough to capture many precious "life shots" with my friends that we will cherish forever. I extend my sincere and deepest gratitude to guide Lee Hyang-yong, who not only provided thoughtful dinner recommendations that could be enjoyed in Fukuoka until the very end of the tour but also meticulously and kindly took care of every aspect of our trip from beginning to end. Thanks to the unforgettable memories we made on this trip, I will undoubtedly choose GOGODAY TRAVEL for my next journey, and I highly recommend a trip with guide Lee Hyang-yong to anyone considering a Kyushu tour.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un tur absolut obligatoriu în Japonia! Acest tur a fost o experiență incredibilă de la început până la sfârșit. Gestionarea timpului a fost absolut perfectă – totul a decurs ca la carte, fără timp pierdut sau locații de umplutură. Fiecare oprire din itinerar a fost uimitoare, frumoasă și a meritat pe deplin vizitată. Ceea ce a făcut această călătorie cu adevărat de neuitat a fost ghidul nostru, Thomas. El este, fără îndoială, cel mai bun ghid pe care l-am avut vreodată într-un tur în Japonia! Thomas a fost incredibil de bine informat, atent și a adus o energie extraordinară grupului, făcând întreaga zi fluidă și distractivă. Dacă sunteți în căutarea unui tur perfect organizat, care să includă toate cele mai bune locuri fără a vă simți grăbit, nu pot să-l recomand suficient. Mulțumesc, Thomas, pentru o zi uimitoare! Bonus 📸📸📸 Thomas este un fotograf excelent, vă va ajuta să obțineți fotografii de neuitat, iar fotografiile sale de peisaj sunt incredibile. Am distribuit câteva dintre fotografiile sale.
