කියුෂු | මොජිකෝ සහ කරාටෝ වෙළඳපොළ සහ සුනෝෂිමා පාලම සහ මොටොනොසුමි සිද්ධස්ථානය එක් දින සංචාරය (ෆුකුවෝකා සිට පිටත්වීම)

We really wanted to see Motonosumi Shrine. However, the original tour that we wanted to join was already full the day that is available for us so we decided to book this tour. Little did we know that we have booked a tour with "Chinese/Japanese-speaking tour guide" even if we don't speak any of the two languages. Despite this, our tour guide, Mr. Wang, did his best to guide us using a translation app. The initial plan for the tour is we explore Mojiko on our own then ride the ferry to go to the Karato Fish market and the tour guide will meet us there. However, Mr. Wang volunteered to take us to the fish market through the van instead of the ferry so we will not be lost. We respectfully declined his offer because we wanted to experience riding the ferry. We really felt his sincere concern for us. We are very satisfied with this tour. Thank you, Mr. Wang!

Note that this tour only offers Chinese/Japanese speaking guides (no English). We knew this before booking but still went ahead since these spots are hard to reach without driving. Our guide, Li Hua, communicated using a translation app, helped take photos & shared restaurant recommendations. She even suggested some of her favorite conbini store ice creams when she saw us eating some, which was really sweet. The tour was chill & well paced. It was a gloomy day, which was a bit of a bummer weather wise, but still enjoyable. Each stop had enough time to explore without feeling rushed & the bus ride was comfortable, great for naps. Karato Market was a highlight. The seafood was incredibly fresh, especially the otoro, rich, melt in your mouth & not fishy. We ordered a few items & spent under $40, which felt like an amazing value. Overall, a good option if you want to visit these places without driving. Despite the language barrier, it was smooth & enjoyable.

This was an amazing opportunity to see beautiful places in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Although, the time was kinda compressed because of the distance between each tourist attraction, they’re worth it. I recommend visiting them all. I would also like to commend Mr. GU (tour guide) for being so helpful to me by translating his instructions (from Japanese-Chinese-English). He even directed me to go down Karato rest station since I need to go to Yamaguchi City instead of going back to Fukuoka. The driver also did a good job.

门司港唐户市场一日游，堪称完美体验。行程时间安排恰到好处，从悠闲漫步市场，感受烟火气，到品尝特色美食，每一刻都惬意十足，毫无仓促之感。导游张小姐（田嶋小姐）更是此行亮点，她温和有礼，笑容满面，让人如沐春风。她精通多种语言，能精准地为不同游客讲解，无论是历史典故，还是美食文化，都讲解得生动有趣。她对团队的把控也极为出色，让整个行程井然有序，大家都能尽情享受旅程。这次旅行，不仅收获了美好回忆，更感受到了专业与温暖。

It was overall a very good experience. Ms. Wang, our tour guide, did her best to make sure everybody enjoyed all the places we visited. Although a long day trip and under bad weather, it was quite pleasant and very safe thanks to the driver!

今日行程涵蓋門司港、唐戶市場、角島大橋與元乃隅神社，景點豐富且各具特色，非常值得一遊。門司港的復古建築與唐戶市場的鮮美海產令人印象深刻，角島大橋的壯麗海景與元乃隅神社的神秘氛圍更是驚艷。 然而，導遊的表現略顯不足，僅簡單介紹行程，未深入解說各景點歷史文化，下車時也未詳細指引特色看點，稍感遺憾。此外，唐戶市場與門司港需搭乘渡輪，加上午飯時間，僅兩小時參觀明顯不足，難以盡情探索與品味，時間安排較為緊迫。希望未來能調整時程，讓旅客更從容體驗每個景點的魅力。

とても素晴らしい旅となりました。ガイドのチョウさん(日本での名前はタシマさん)は頭が良くて気配りのできる方でバスの席も日本人の3組と中国、マレーシア人等をそれぞれ席をかためて日本語で説明して下さった後は後方に行き中国語で話されていました。行く所々での美味しい物や見所等を詳しく説明して下さり有り難かったです。最初は言葉が分からなかったらと思いこのツアーはやめようかなと思っていましたがチョウさんのお陰でとても楽しい旅となりました。次回また九州を旅する時はチョウさんであることを願います。バスの運転手さんもとても良い方でチョウさんが間に合うようにと言って下さり19時発の新幹線に間に合うように運転を頑張って下さりました。お二人共ありがとうございました。行った所全てが素敵でこの値段でコスパがすごくいいなと思います。唐戸市場で食べた、てっさと、うにいくら丼は安くてとても美味しかったです。てっさとふぐの唐揚げを唐戸市場から冷蔵便で神戸に送ってもらうようにして届くのを楽しみにしています。博多と山口が好きになり又行きたいと思います。

overall a great experience to see some local sights. although it was a long day, it was arranged with efficiency and good scheduling. the guide was informative but not overbearing. she had a nice personality.

The day bus tour to Kitakyushu and Yamaguchi prefecture was well-organized, with the bus running punctually throughout the day. Our tour guide was very accommodating, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring everyone was comfortable.
