Our tour guide, Mr. Wang, took us to Moji Port, Kokura Castle, and Miyajidake Shrine. On the bus, he provided detailed explanations of each attraction's features and gave a brief introduction to Kyushu's geography and local delicacies. Today's chartered tour was truly excellent value for money.
The tour guide was very nice; knowing we'd gotten up early, he basically covered the key points and then let us rest 😴~ The driver was very experienced, like he'd driven this route many times, and actually drove quite fast 😆😆 Our first stop was Akihachi Cave, my first time entering a limestone cave. It's huge, about a kilometer long, and truly spectacular; the natural scenery is definitely worth seeing!! Our second stop was Motonosumi Inari Shrine ⛩️ It was freezing cold at this time of day, but the photos were spectacular 🤳. You don't need to go specifically; just go if you happen to be passing by 😂 Our third stop was Kakubashi Bridge, another beautiful spot for photos 🤳, and the sea was absolutely gorgeous 😎. Definitely worth a visit!!
Kokura Castle is beautiful on the outside, but unfortunately the interior is too new and lacks the feel of an old castle. It would be even better if the courtyard of Kokura Castle could be opened for tea and relaxation.
The driver was very nice and would also help take pictures and gave us advice to walk less roads and arrived early to wait, the vehicle was very comfortable. Each custom location will be confirmed again. And will remind the current road situation will be congested, there is a chance to affect the trip arrangement, the driver is very good, will give the local trip route and recommended time, the allocation is very flexible, get on and off points can be arranged according to their requirements, the overall experience is full.
Thanks to Jimmy Liu for leading the way; the trip went very smoothly. We started the day with a visit to Kanmon Bridge, Karato Market for seafood, and Motonosumi Shrine. Finally, we took the cable car at Sanbarayama and enjoyed the sunset and night views while sipping hot corn chowder. It was a wonderful trip! Highly recommended!
