I was originally deciding between another Forest Coffee itinerary and this one, and I am so glad I chose the Gogoday Itoshima day trip that includes Raizan Sennyo-ji Temple—it was totally worth it! The tour guide gave a detailed introduction to the history and features of the Buddhist temple. Listening to the prayer chanting in front of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin made me feel peaceful, and there are several Zen-inspired corners around the grounds that are great for photos. Although the Itoshima day trip I joined this time was mainly focused on picturesque photo spots, Tour Guide Tajima enthusiastically shared everything from Kyushu's history, culture, and education to the features and legends of major attractions, which kept us thoroughly engaged. Regarding lunch, the guide explained the available options and their pros and cons beforehand so people could gauge whether they would have enough time for photos, and upon arrival at each attraction, helped everyone take pictures from the best angles. In addition, they recommended restaurants and souvenirs in Hakata and enthusiastically answered any questions we had. Highly recommended!

Carey was a wonderful guide so friendly and helpful to all English/Chinese speaking guests.

Sufficient time for all stops and Guide Nimo is very clear in providing instruction on what time to be back on the bus after each stop. He also share Japanese culture and historical information while free time on coach journey. Relaxing and chill day tour.

We had a 13-person family trip spanning three generations. Since it was a self-guided tour, the driver was so important. We would have been grateful even if they just drove since they weren't a tour guide, but they were extremely punctual and seasoned veterans of the tourist spots, which made our trip so comfortable. We felt like we won an award for filial piety, and if we ever get the chance, we would really love to see them again. We are extremely satisfied.

Mike is an excellent guide. The 4 hours were very informative and entertaining. I learned many interesting things about Fukuoka's history and culture.

itinerary: maximized highlights of old hakata area guide: Roy was friendly and very nice to answer our questions and weave in stories of history and humor. We had a lovely time.

After booking, customer service reached out to confirm the itinerary very quickly. They were extremely prompt with their replies and accommodated our requests as much as possible. Our driver, Mr. Hong, provided exceptional service and was very polite. Since a family member needed a wheelchair, Mr. Hong proactively helped with getting in and out of the vehicle multiple times. His thoughtful and attentive service gave us great peace of mind. During the trip, Mr. Hong also enthusiastically introduced the sights along the way, making the entire journey quite pleasant. Highly recommended!
