Kitakyushu Dagsutflykter

Vi såg reseledaren Nana (Nanako) med sin flagga redan på morgonen. Hon var mild, hängiven och drog inte ut på tiden när vi behövde vila och sova en stund! Hon flytande både på engelska och kinesiska, så det var inga som helst problem med kommunukationen. Eftersom jag lätt blir åksjuk hade jag i förväg bett om en plats längst fram, och hon hade sparat en plats åt mig. Landskapet längs vägen var verkligen vackert, och platserna vi besökte hade en fantastisk, behaglig atmosfär. Eftersom vi deltog i kanotpaddling vid Takachiho-gorje behövde tiderna passas extra noggrant. Så fort vi kom fram till Takachiho-gorje berättade Nana samlingstid och plats för dem som inte skulle paddla, och tog oss nio som skulle göra det och ledde vägen i rask takt! Det visade sig att det finns en tidsgräns för paddlingen, och om man inte kommer tillbaka i tid får man betala extra till uthyraren! Båtarna är inte helt lätta att manövrera, men det är väldigt roligt. Jag rekommenderar starkt att man testar detta om man inte reser med småbarn eller äldre – när man ändå är här! Jag rekommenderar verkligen den här turen, och ett stort tack till vår reseledare Nana som gav oss en så härlig dag! Just det, mangoglassen var inte prisvärd alls, hoppa över den! Mjukglass går däremot säkert bra att äta!

Jag gjorde utflykten för att se Takachiho-ravinen och Aso Kusasenri, och jag hade en fantastisk upplevelse. Turen var otroligt välordnad. Vår guide, Sun, var kunnig och professionell; han gav oss bra bakgrundsinformation om området och guidade oss på ett enastående sätt under hela dagen. Ravinen var vacker, och båtupplevelsen var så rolig. Jag lade också till lunchpaketet i sista sekund och är verkligen glad att jag gjorde det, eftersom maten var jättegod. Vi fick till och med se hästar vid Kusasenri, vilket var väldigt häftigt. Allt som allt rekommenderar jag den här turen varmt!

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.

Det var en verkligt imponerande resa. Jag var den enda som talade engelska, men guiden, Zhu Zhu, tog väl hand om mig och såg till att jag förstod allt om turen. Upplevelsen överträffade mina förväntningar med råge.

It was a great experience. We easily found the meeting point at Hakata Station. Our guide, Nanami, was incredibly friendly and effortlessly switched between Chinese, Japanese, and English, explaining the itinerary and providing brief details about the attractions. The mini-bus was also very comfortable, and the driver was skilled. If you have luggage, you need to contact them via email in advance. We were lucky today; although it was cloudy with scattered showers, it didn't rain during our visits to the attractions, even though it rained heavily on the road. The turbulent sea and the vibrant red torii gate offered a wonderful experience. Akiyoshido Cave was quite cool inside, so bringing a jacket is recommended; it felt like a cave exploration. The crepes at the ice cream shop by the cave entrance were mediocre and not cheap.

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!

Our trip along the popular Itoshima route in Kyushu with Eiichii was absolute perfection from start to finish. Exploring six distinct and beautiful stops in a single day could easily feel rushed, but Eiichii’s meticulous planning and organization made the entire journey incredibly comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. He was incredibly accommodating, fluently switching between English and Chinese to make sure everyone felt included and well-informed. Eiichii treated every guest with the utmost warmth and respect throughout the day. To top it off, he was an amazing photographer—he took the time to ensure everyone got great photos at every single location. If you are visiting Kyushu, I cannot recommend Eiichii enough. He made our trip unforgettable!

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. And always update and remind us important information through what app, pay attention on her customer service. I’m appreciate on her guide in this trip, I’m very enjoyable and very happy! This tour was very interesting and nice place for me to visit. I will recommend to everyone:)

This one day trip was very much worth it! The itinerary was perfect with enough rest and sightseeing time provided. the tour guide, Helen was super friendly and very informative! Very much recommended for those who are looking for a day trip to do in Fukuoka!
