Čo robiť v Kitakyushu

This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Mrs. Nana, was very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends. If you join this tour, don’t miss the onsen eggs at Umi Jigoku—they’re incredibly delicious! I only bought one, and I really regret not getting more. The croquettes at Yufuin Floral Village are also a must-try. I also wanted to try the grilled mushrooms, but unfortunately the queue was so long that they sold out before I could buy any. That was a little disappointing. The only downside was visiting in the summer. It was extremely hot, and walking around in the heat was quite tiring. Other than that, I had a great time!

Počas zájazdu sme navštívili veľa miest a mali sme čas prezrieť si množstvo suvenírov a jedla. Kráter hory Aso bol, žiaľ, zatvorený, ale aj tak sme si mohli vychutnať úžasné výhľady. Naši sprievodcovia, najmä Sun, boli veľmi ústretoví, aj keď sme ja a môj priateľ boli jediní dvaja anglicky hovoriaci ľudia na výlete. Obaja boli naozaj veselí a poskytovali dobré informácie o miestach a tiež dávali tipy na jedlo a na to, čo ešte navštíviť v okolí Fukuoky. Takže im veľmi ďakujeme :)

this tour was really good if you love animals and want to see them up close. I enjoyed the guide Zhu Zhu was so sweet and even she spoke little English she was so great and made sure I was able to follow along with rest of the group. She was so delightful and kindhearted, helped me order all the foods form all the shops and stores and offered me her umbrella and even the sweet apples. I highly recommend this route you get to see lots in one day!

Účasť na tejto aktivite sa naozaj oplatila, pretože som cestoval sám a chcel som navštíviť svätyňu Motonosumi, takže tento jednodňový výlet bol oveľa pohodlnejší. Počas tejto cesty som mal šťastie, že som stretol Jimmyho. Už na začiatku, keď sa predstavoval v autobuse, vytvoril skvelú atmosféru a všetci sa smiali 😆 Keďže na tomto výlete boli aj cudzinci, hovoril nielen mandarínsky, ale aj anglicky, čo bolo naozaj skvelé a všetci mu rozumeli. Chcel by som tiež pochváliť vodiča za jeho vynikajúce vodičské schopnosti. Hoci cesta bola trochu dlhá, prestávky boli veľmi pokojné ☺️ Jediná malá nevýhoda tohto výletu bola, že keď sme sa dostali na horu, bola príliš veľká hmla, takže sme nemohli vidieť výhľad. Teším sa, že nabudúce uvidím krásny výhľad.

Skvelý zážitok, aj keď pršalo… Vrcholom prehliadky bol náš sprievodca Kevin, ktorý bol veľmi ochotný a priateľský. Vysvetlil každú destináciu. Plavba loďou Yanagawa bola tiež dobrým zážitkom.

Glad we took this trip on a weekend since we were able to visit Karato Market. We were able to try tried Fugu and the sushi choices are very fresh. I loved the Toro Sushi. We were also able to see the different buildings in Mojiko Retro. I was able to marvel on its architecture. This is our 5th visit in Japan but it's our first time visiting a Japanese castle. Kokura Castle is a very good castle first castle. It has interactive activities that will keep you immersed. I also liked our visit to Miyajidake Shrine. It is very peaceful and one with nature. I also would like to commend our tour guide. My mother and I were the only two non-Chinese speaking members of the group but the tour guide was very helpful with us.

Nádherný jednodňový výlet! Miesto stretnutia bolo viditeľné hneď po východe zo stanice Hakata a personál sa aktívne uistil o našej destinácii. Sedadlá v autobuse boli pohodlné, vodič jazdil bezpečne a plynulo a sprievodkyňa Lisa bola veľmi milá a nadšená, neustále nám pomáhala s fotením a jej výklad o atrakciách bol veľmi profesionálny. Navyše ovládala tri jazyky, čo nám spríjemnilo a uľahčilo cestu. Všetky navštívené miesta boli nádherné a mali sme šťastie, že hoci ráno bolo zamračené, popoludní sa vyjasnilo. Najneuveriteľnejšie je, že sme si mohli ľahko užiť niekoľko ťažko dostupných atrakcií za cenu nižšiu ako jednosmerný lístok na šinkansen do Kumamota, čo je neuveriteľná hodnota za peniaze. Nakoniec, časový harmonogram bol tiež primeraný, s dostatkom času na vychutnanie si scenérie a fotenie na každej atrakcii.

Even though it was raining, the overall itinerary was very well managed. We had a mini-bus with two guides: Zhu Zhu, who handled Chinese and Korean, and another male guide who provided explanations and commentary in fluent English. This was my first time on a one-day tour, and I was surprised that the guides even walked with us. Zhu Zhu is an excellent guide; she provided detailed information about restrooms and lunch options and consistently ensured the group stayed together and that everyone was accounted for. The entire trip was very enriching. Although the schedule was a bit tight, there was still enough time even for those who love taking photos. We even received small gifts at the end! Since I was staying in Takachiho, I opted out of the return trip, and Zhu Zhu was very enthusiastic in discussing my drop-off location. I'm so glad I joined this one-day tour, and I highly recommend it!

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!
