Hakata

The itinerary included meals, and there was no need to retrace the route, as it didn't require much leg strength from the elderly. They simply needed to follow the guide's instructions. The time and shopping were well-managed. The only downside was the risk of slipping during heavy rain; otherwise, there was nothing to complain about. The guide was fluent in Japanese and Mandarin, took good care of all the tourists, was very friendly, provided excellent explanations, and thoughtfully included time on signs and music during breaks. He also recommended restaurants in Fukuoka. He mentioned he really longed to experience life in Fukuoka. This talent should be given more responsibility and his salary increased. ***************************** This Fukuoka day trip was a very satisfying experience. The itinerary was very well designed, avoiding backtracking. The time and pace of shopping were perfectly managed, greatly reducing the physical burden on the elderly and allowing them to easily keep up. Although the heavy rain made some roads slippery and posed a slight risk of slipping, the overall itinerary and meal arrangements were still handled meticulously and thoughtfully, almost flawlessly. The tour guide's professional performance was a highlight of the trip. He was fluent in both Japanese and Mandarin, attentively caring for travelers from diverse backgrounds, and maintained a cheerful demeanor throughout, providing lively and engaging explanations. He demonstrated exceptional professionalism in details, such as proactively writing down meeting times on signs, playing music to remind group members after breaks, and generously sharing local Fukuoka culinary gems and recommended attractions. He even shared his love and longing for life in Fukuoka, his enthusiasm for his work truly touching. In conclusion, such a talented individual, possessing both strong language skills and meticulous service, is invaluable. I strongly recommend that the travel agency give him more responsibility and a raise to recognize the exceptional travel experience he provided. Thank you so much for your kindness and smiles 😊😁

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.

I think I’ve taken 2-3 package tours and 6-7 independent trips to Fukuoka, but this trip remains the most satisfying one. I believe the reason is the coexistence of leisurely relaxation and the intensity of completing a mission. The Itoshima half-day tour purchased from My Real Tour exceeded my expectations, and Guide Kang Hee-ju was truly excellent. Thank you. Also, purchasing the 5-day Northern Kyushu Rail Pass allowed me to enjoy the small town tours that are currently trending, which was a great experience. I highly recommend the JR Pass, which is available for purchase by foreigners only. I was amazed and envious of how every small town in Japan has such unique and distinctive food. I even rode the notoriously expensive Shinkansen to my heart's content... Anyway, for five days, I traveled all over Northern Kyushu comfortably by train to my heart's content. Just in case, I bought a one-day subway pass, but unfortunately, I couldn't use up all the money. It was a shame; I could have used it better if I knew the geography a bit better. It would have been very useful in Tokyo, but since walking a long distance to my destination after taking the subway was a burden, I ended up using the bus instead... It seems you can't hide your age. Still, I used it twice, so I have no regrets. Thank you~~

No need to drive and got a great tour guide! Really great! The tour guide was very patient and had a great attitude. Nanami The Miyazaki beef burger is amazing, a must-try! Very good impression ❤️

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!

This was my first time hiring a car in Fukuoka. The itinerary for the day was to visit Mount Aso to see the beautiful scenery, but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it rained heavily. The driver was very considerate and explained to us that the fog on the mountain was very thick and we might not be able to see the scenery we wanted. After carefully asking whether we wanted to shop, enjoy the scenery, or just have a quick look around, he provided us with the best itinerary. Since we were traveling with elderly people, the driver was very accommodating and made us get off at several points, ensuring that the elderly people were safely taken back to their hotel. It was a wonderful experience!

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 view from the tower is quite nice, there are several card reader booths, and you get a free mini photo, so it's worth the ticket price!
