Dazaifu

Transportation is convenient, Dazaifu has beautiful scenery, and the food and shopping are great. The plum cakes given as a gift during the trip were amazing and delicious. The scenery on the boat in Yanagawa was beautiful, and the boatman was very attentive and enthusiastic in explaining things and performing songs, which made me feel happy and joyful. I was in a great mood and look forward to taking the boat again next time. The beautiful scenery of Yanagawa left a deep impression on me.

This was my first time joining a day tour on KKday, guided by Ms. Ishibashi. Previously, when traveling to various countries, including Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Prague, etc.), I always rented a car and drove myself. I was both excited and apprehensive about my first time on a group tour, worried that the guide and driver might not be a good fit and would spoil the trip. Let me tell you about the itinerary: My personal experience with Yufuin shows it takes at least three hours – it's incredibly fun and has amazing food; there's simply not enough time to see everything! I also saw some reviews saying it was boring after three hours; maybe they didn't get off the bus to explore? Actually, it's fantastic, I was almost misled! We didn't need to drive ourselves from Fukuoka, and I fell asleep as soon as we boarded the bus after registration. The two-hour journey each way was very smooth, and the guide let us rest and catch up on sleep – it was great! Ms. Ishibashi accompanied us on our way to Kinrin Lake and told us about some good food (grilled mushrooms). Being foodies, we immediately took note, but the shop wasn't open yet. We stood near the shop, keeping a close eye out for it to open. Luckily, Ms. Ishibashi had warned us beforehand that there would be long lines for the grilled mushrooms, so we didn't have to wait too long – we got our turn as soon as it opened! Our guide, Ms. Ishibashi, was very friendly and helpful. I had left some negative reviews about her before the trip, but after interacting with her and asking questions, it wasn't like those reviews described! She was always willing to talk and chat with us. Don't be misled by the reviews – the person who left those negative reviews is the one with the problem! Maybe they think they're some kind of princess or prince expecting to be waited on. All the photos were taken by Aifeng; the scenery is indeed beautiful and worth the trip.

Satisfied, will recommend to friends. A good first impression, will use again.

The staff were friendly and professional, and they did a great job with the clothing and hairstyle. The kimono experience was wonderful. Walking around Dazaifu felt like stepping back in time. Everyone should definitely try it! 🎉👍
