Itoshima

Usually we travel independently, but this time joining the Itoshima day tour allowed us to visit all the spots we wanted to see. If we had gone on our own, we would have only been able to visit two or three places. After going, I feel it was totally worth it and not rushed at all! Our tour guide, Ah Chun, arranged everything so thoughtfully from the initial contact to the very end. Before departure, he had already booked exclusive access to the forest café, reserved puddings, and arranged the seafood meal, which made the whole itinerary extremely smooth and comfortable without any need to wait in line. Along the way, he introduced the attractions, took photos for tour members, shared great photo spots along with tips on how to take pictures, and recommended food and souvenirs. Ah Chun is very patient, friendly, and extremely professional. Also, thank you to the driver for the day; the driving was very smooth, and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. If any friends come to Fukuoka to visit, I will definitely strongly recommend this tour.

Napakagandang tour! Lahat ay simple, madali, at diretso. Talagang irerekomenda ko ito sa sinumang bibisita sa Fukuoka sa unang pagkakataon. Ang tanging idaragdag ko lang ay ang pagsakay sa bangka sa Yanagawa, sana ay mas maayos at mas malinaw ang pagkakaplano nito ng kumpanya ng bangka. Marami sa amin ang nalito at naghintay nang matagal para sa pagsakay nang hindi kinakailangan. Kaya mas kaunti at nagmamadali ang oras namin para sa tanghalian.

I give our tour guide Gloria and the driver a full score for this day trip! Although it rained all day and the itinerary mainly consisted of outdoor attractions, their professionalism, attentiveness, and dedication still allowed us to spend a pleasant and worry-free day. Before departure, Gloria clearly communicated the meeting time and location, itinerary, and lunch arrangements via WhatsApp, and thoughtfully provided clothing suggestions so we could prepare in advance. During the trip, she was always friendly, polite, and proactive. She carefully counted the number of people at every gathering to ensure no one was left behind, which was very reassuring. I especially appreciated that she prepared her own organized little notes for each attraction. The content was clear and thoughtful, showing that she had put a lot of thought into it beforehand. Even though she braved the wind and rain all day, she still kept a smile on her face the whole time, patiently accompanied the tour members, and even took the initiative to take pictures for everyone. This enthusiasm and sense of responsibility are truly commendable! Gloria's time management was also excellent. We were able to gather and depart on time at each stop, all the itinerary items were successfully completed, and we returned to Hakata before 6:00 PM. She is fluent in Cantonese, Japanese, English, and Mandarin, and was able to cater to the needs of tour members speaking different languages across two buses, demonstrating attentive service and absolute professionalism. In addition, I would like to express a special thank you to the driver. There were many winding mountain roads along the way, coupled with continuous rain, but the driver drove safely and steadily throughout the whole journey, making us feel at ease even when riding through the mountains on a rainy day. Although the weather was less than ideal, the dedication of Gloria and the driver added warmth to this journey and left us with wonderful memories. Sincere thanks to both of them for their efforts; they definitely deserve a five-star recommendation!

Tour guide Lin received us, very meticulous and gentle. It was a last-minute trip, but it turned out to be unexpectedly good. The scenery is very good, there are 6 attractions in a day, and the itinerary is well-arranged.👍 He takes pictures of me when I travel alone. Knowing that I wanted to go to Yufuin the next day, he kindly arranged my itinerary, and it was a very touching day, very pleasant.😁

Ang day trip na ito sa Itoshima ay isa sa mga highlight ng aming pananatili sa Fukuoka. Bawat hintuan ay may natatanging handog. Ang itineraryo ay maayos ang pagkakaplano, binibigyan kami ng sapat na oras upang mag-explore, kumuha ng litrato, at simpleng mag-enjoy sa tanawin nang hindi nagmamadali. Espesyal na pasasalamat sa aming guide, si Chen, sa pagpapaganda pa ng karanasan. Ang mga instruksyon ay laging malinaw, madaling sundan ang mga meeting point, at nanatili sa iskedyul ang tour habang pinapayagan pa rin kaming mag-enjoy sa bawat hintuan. Ang pinaka-pinahahalagahan ko ay ang pagiging maalalahanin ni Chen at ang tunay niyang pagmamalasakit sa grupo. Ang kanyang propesyonalismo at positibong saloobin ang nagpaganda, nakakarelax, at kasiya-siya sa biyahe mula simula hanggang matapos. Kung naghahanap ka ng madali at di malilimutang paraan upang tuklasin ang Itoshima, lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito. Ang magagandang destinasyon, maayos na organisasyon, at mahusay na serbisyo mula kay Chen ang nagbigay dito ng five-star na karanasan.

I had an absolute blast on this trip, and a huge part of what made it so special was our wonderful guides, Edward and Family. From start to finish, they were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-cared for, and having a great time, sharing great local insights and recommendations along the way. ​If you are looking for a smooth, memorable, and heartfelt tour experience, I cannot recommend Edward and Family enough.

Wonderful scenic and easy trip to go on. Our guide was quick to communicate all updates, and picked us up near our hotel. He’s a humourous guy, and made the trip warm and enjoyable. Went the extra mile to help us with nice photos and giving us an egg he was so happy to get 34 for 500yen. It was a good trip!

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!

very helpful driver- we had a trip in the summer- very hot Fukuoka weather- the ride was a comfortable relief to the sweltering heat outside
