Kitakyushu Jednodňové výlety

We spotted tour guide Nana's flag first thing in the morning. She was sweet and extremely dedicated, and she didn't waste any time talking when it was time for us to rest and catch up on sleep! Her Mandarin and English were both fluent, so there were zero communication barriers. Since I easily get motion sick, I had added a note requesting a front-seat before joining the tour, and they saved a seat for me. The scenery along the entire way was truly gorgeous, and everywhere we went had a wonderful, comfortable energy. Because we joined the Takachiho Gorge boating activity, our schedule required precise timing. As soon as we arrived at Takachiho Gorge, Nana gave instructions on the meeting time and place for those not boating, and then rushed forward with the nine of us who were participating in the boating activity! It turns out that boating time is limited, and failing to return within the designated time results in extra fees charged by the boat rental shop! The boats are not the easiest to steer, but it is a lot of fun. I highly recommend trying it out if you aren't traveling with very young children or elderly family members—since you're already there, you might as well! I highly recommend this tour and am very grateful to our guide, Nana, for giving us such a wonderful day! By the way, the mango shaved ice has very poor value for the money, so skip it! The soft-serve ice cream should be worth a try, though!

Absolvoval som prehliadku rokliny Takachiho a Aso Kusasenri a strávil som fantastický čas. Prehliadka bola neuveriteľne dobre zorganizovaná. Náš sprievodca, Sun, bol informovaný a profesionálny; poskytol nám skvelý kontext o oblasti a výborne nás sprevádzal počas celého dňa. Roklina bola krásna a zážitok z plavby loďou bol veľmi zábavný. Na poslednú chvíľu som si tiež pridal obedový balíček a bol som naozaj rád, že som to urobil, pretože jedlo bolo vynikajúce. Dokonca sme videli kone v Kusasenri, čo bolo veľmi super. Celkovo túto prehliadku vrelo odporúčam!

Today, our tour was led by tour guide Zhang Qing from Gogoday. The entire itinerary was very smooth, and we had plenty of time. Our guide was experienced and eager to help with any questions or issues from the group members, getting along well with everyone. During the trip, the sushi at Karato Market was inexpensive and delicious, with toppings twice the size of the rice. Kokura Castle had many interactive facilities. At the outlet, we took the kids to Asoble to experience the giant claw machine. The night view from Mount Sarakura lived up to its reputation. It was a very enjoyable day.

It was a truly impressive trip. I was the only English speaker, but the guide. Zhu Zhu, took good care of me, ensuring I fully understood everything about the tour. The experience far exceeded my expectations.

Veľmi dobrá skúsenosť, miesto stretnutia na stanici Hakata sa dalo ľahko nájsť. Sprievodkyňa Nanami bola mimoriadne milá a plynule prepínala medzi čínštinou, angličtinou a japončinou, vysvetlila nám plán cesty a stručne opísala detaily atrakcií. Mikrobus bol tiež veľmi pohodlný a vodič šoféroval výborne. Ak máte batožinu, je potrebné vopred kontaktovať e-mailom. Dnes sme mali šťastie, hoci bolo zamračené a občas pršalo, počas našej návštevy atrakcií nepršalo, aj keď po ceste pršalo dosť silno. Rozbúrené more a žiarivo červené torii brány boli tiež skvelým zážitkom. V jaskyni Akiyoshido bolo dosť chladno, takže si môžete vziať bundu, čo dodalo pocit jaskynného dobrodružstva. Palacinky v zmrzlinárni pri vchode do jaskyne boli priemerné a nie lacné.

Although this day tour only has 3 attractions, each of them has its own unique features and is well worth a visit. The sushi at Karato Market was fresh and delicious; we didn't go to the most famous shop because the queue was simply too long, but just randomly picked a nearby one and were already very satisfied, especially the fatty tuna, which melted in your mouth! We tried the pufferfish sashimi, which wasn't anything special. The rows of red torii gates at Motonosumi Shrine, paired with the blue sky, white clouds, and the endless sea, made me subconsciously take dozens of photos! Mount Sarakura at dusk and as the night lights begin to glow is truly enchanting! It's very suitable for photography enthusiasts, just make sure to reserve enough time for the round-trip cable car. The tour guide, Mr. Cheung, was very attentive; he always clearly stated the meeting times and reminded everyone when it was a good time to use the restroom. Explaining the itinerary and background information of the attractions along the way in English, Mandarin, and Japanese was effortless for him, definitely deserving of praise!

Náš výlet po obľúbenej trase Itoshima na Kjúšú s Eiichii bol od začiatku do konca absolútne dokonalý. Preskúmať šesť rôznych a krásnych zastávok za jediný deň by sa mohlo ľahko zdať uponáhľané, ale Eiichiiho precízne plánovanie a organizácia urobili celú cestu neuveriteľne pohodlnou, plynulou a bezstresovou. Bol neuveriteľne ústretový, plynule prepínal medzi angličtinou a čínštinou, aby sa uistil, že sa všetci cítia zahrnutí a dobre informovaní. Eiichii sa ku každému hosťovi správal s maximálnou srdečnosťou a rešpektom po celý deň. Navyše bol úžasný fotograf – venoval čas tomu, aby sa uistil, že každý má skvelé fotografie na každom jednom mieste. Ak navštívite Kjúšú, nemôžem Eiichiiho dostatočne odporučiť. Urobil náš výlet nezabudnuteľným!

This is my first time join local tour. I have good experience on that. Because tour guides very nice, explain very clearly and detail on our tour.

This tour was very interesting and nice place for me to visit. I will recommend to everyone:)
