Kyushu

You need to pick it up at the information desk; you can use it by scanning a QR code with your phone. However, there aren't many brands available, so it's a small bonus. It's recommended to confirm before making the trip. Theoretically, the process of redeeming discount codes can be optimized and completed online.

Overall, the experience was very fun and relaxing. The itinerary was well-planned, without any pressure from rushing. Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) is a very special attraction, and the onsen tamago (hot spring eggs) sold on-site were delicious and definitely worth trying. While it was a bit of a shame we couldn't take the jungle bus at the zoo, the park's sightseeing bus still allowed us to see many animals up close. For travelers like us who had been walking and shopping for several days in a row, this was a much more relaxing experience. The kangaroos in the small animal area were also very cute and memorable. Mount Yufu has beautiful scenery and is a great spot for taking photos; every shot is clear and beautiful. Yufuin is a food paradise; the croquettes, karaage chicken, and dorayaki we ate were all delicious. The croquettes, in particular, are likely the famous "Kin-shin Croquettes"—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—highly recommended. A special thank you to our tour leader, Xiao Sun, for managing the time very well. Each attraction had ample time, and we returned to the city on time, allowing us plenty of time to explore the department stores and shops near the station after returning to Hakata. Overall, it was a relaxing, fulfilling, and highly recommended trip!

This day trip to Mt. Sarakura in Kyushu was absolutely worthwhile! Some attractions are inconvenient to reach by public transport alone, so joining a bus tour saved you the hassle of transfers and made the trip much easier. The itinerary included Kanmon Bridge, Karato Market, Motonosumi Shrine, and Mt. Sarakura. Our guide, Daisy, provided detailed and attentive explanations throughout, not only introducing local culture but also reminding us of meeting times via Line, making the journey smoother. The seafood at Karato Market was fresh and reasonably priced; Motonosumi Shrine was the most stunning attraction of the trip, with spectacular views. It's not easy to reach without a car, so it's definitely worth a visit. Finally, we took the cable car up Mt. Sarakura to enjoy one of the three best night views in New Japan. It was a bit of a shame that we had to return early and missed the full night view and sunset, but overall, the trip was still very fulfilling and a very enjoyable travel experience. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tour guide Xiao Cui's service was excellent, deserving five stars. The itinerary was packed with activities, including a unique experience of drinking coffee and eating cake in the forest. The trip was fulfilling yet not rushed, and highly recommended.
