I arrived at the airport full of anticipation, only to find the counter was already closed... I hadn't checked their closing time before I left. Luckily, there was a great and convenient self-service card dispenser (where you can also buy a card), thumbs up! No need to worry about arriving late and missing out on a card.
The tour guide was enthusiastic and attentive, explaining all the precautions beforehand. The scenery was beautiful and highly recommended. I just wish there were hooks on the seats in the vehicle.
There are 6 reserved seats available, which is very convenient and more than enough!
To exchange tickets at the counter, you need to bring your passport and the credit card used for payment. It takes about 20 minutes to process three tickets, so please allow some time.
The experience was great, and the tour guide was very friendly! Yufuin is a wonderful place to explore, and the Yufuin no Mori train experience was fantastic! The Tiffany blue of Beppu's "Sea Hell" is beautiful, and the adorable cow statues and delicious plum-shaped rice cakes at Dazaifu Temple were delightful.
This tourist-friendly discount plan is very easy to redeem. The trip from Okura to Hakata, while seatless, only takes 20 minutes, and the price is even cheaper than the Kagoshima main line. Highly recommended!
The itinerary was very fulfilling and fun. Tickets for the miniature train and boat rides were extremely difficult to obtain; if you purchase this tour package, be sure to add the Takachiho boat ride to the itinerary, as it includes round-trip transportation and may even be cheaper than arranging it yourself. Highly recommended. Our guide, Jimmy, was witty and humorous, and very considerate of the group members, speeding up the overall itinerary – excellent!
My experience traveling from Busan to Fukuoka on the Camellia ferry was better than expected. For a ferry of approximately 20,000 tons primarily operating on routes between Japan and South Korea, I think the Camellia performed quite well. The facilities weren't luxurious, as it can't be compared to large cruise ships, but it had the basic amenities, and the public spaces and cabins were generally clean. The journey itself was satisfactory, with no major issues. The sea conditions were good on the day I boarded, and the voyage was smoother than I anticipated. I could rest on board overnight and arrive in Fukuoka the next morning, making it a rather interesting way to travel between Busan and Fukuoka. If you're expecting a luxury cruise experience, you might find the facilities somewhat basic; however, if you consider it an international ferry that allows overnight stays and connects South Korea and Japan, I think its overall performance is above average. Considering the ship's size, facilities, and the overall experience, I would give it 4 stars. It wasn't particularly amazing, but it was comfortable and practical, and I would be willing to travel on it again.
The 20GB bandwidth for 7 days was more than enough. The internet connection was also very stable; I'll definitely choose it again next time I travel abroad.
