Our tour guide, Xiaoyu, was humorous and had beautifully done nails. She was very responsible and managed the itinerary well. Our driver was a skilled driver; he successfully reversed and entered the parking lot at Shiraito no Taki on his first try without missing a single spot. In the morning, we had just the right amount of time to play on the coconut tree swings and take photos at the Couple Rocks. After having Ichiran Ramen for lunch, we went to Dazaifu. Although it was Saturday and there were a lot of people, we still had plenty of time. Our last stop was in the evening when we took a boat trip on Yanagawa, which was very comfortable. The boatman was handsome and could sing very well. We had a great time all day!
The luggage space under the tour bus is usable; we brought a suitcase. There's no tour guide for this trip; the entire tour is guided by audio commentary on the app. The driver was very nice and held up signs at each stop to inform passengers of the meeting times. After the Yanagawa cruise, the lunch break is quite tight, and considering the distance to the parking lot, you might need to consider whether to have a proper meal or go directly to Dazaifu for a proper meal. The cherry blossoms at Kamado Shrine were beautiful.
My husband, who was also our guide and driver, was amazing; he managed the time perfectly! This strawberry farm is popular with Japanese families, highly recommended!! The eel rice in Yanagawa was also absolutely perfect!!
The package ticket is convenient, but finding the boarding point is a bit far, about a 5-minute walk, as different companies offer boarding services right outside the station. Both locations are worth visiting. The boatmen are polite and friendly, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. It's best to go on a clear day; late March when the cherry blossoms are in bloom is particularly beautiful. However, for those who don't eat eel, the selection might be a bit limited. Dazaifu is a rare lively spot in Fukuoka. Right outside the Nishitetsu station, there are many street food stalls to explore. The package ticket also includes a plum cake. Different stalls will tempt you to eat, drink, and shop. It's recommended to visit Yanagawa first, then go to Dazaifu in the afternoon. Don't forget to try the delicious shrimp cakes as a souvenir!
When I inquired about the charter car price, the customer service responded very quickly, and the communication process was very smooth. I was able to clearly understand the itinerary and details, and the overall service made me feel at ease.
Our tour leader, Xiao Xie, drove smoothly and provided appropriate introductions to the sights; overall, it was excellent! Perfect for families with elderly members—a hassle-free trip! Luckily, we all had great, punctual members! 👍
