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!!
We chartered a car from Fukuoka to a hot spring hotel in Yufuin. We first visited Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Because of the heavy traffic on Saturday, the driver suggested adjusting the itinerary and having lunch at a rest stop along the way before heading to Yufuin to avoid having to queue for lunch. After arriving, we parked the car in the parking lot in the middle of Yunotsubo, which was only a ten-minute walk from Lake Kinrin, which was great.
After purchasing tickets through the platform, I went directly to the station to exchange them and reserve seats. The whole process was quite convenient and without any major problems. I would consider doing it again if needed in the future.
The driver drove safely and smoothly, and the itinerary was well-planned. The tour guide was attentive and meticulous, and highly professional. I give this tour a five-star rating and hope to have the opportunity to participate in similar short-distance tours in the future.
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!
