Kyushu

I had to change the pick-up location from Narita Airport to Kansai Airport at the last minute, and the online customer service was very helpful, saving me from wasting two weeks' rental fees. The internet signal was very stable, and it even came with a power bank.

I visited many places in a short time, including Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto, and the time spent wasn't too long. I recommend using JRPASS. Remember to exchange your tickets early in the morning at a dedicated JRPASS exchange center.

Great coverage both in Osaka and Tokyo.

Ideal for families with children. The dolphin show is also fantastic. Recommended restaurant dishes.

Thanks to the customer service team and Mr. Liu for their hard work. The customer service team responded quickly and confirmed the itinerary several times before departure. The all-inclusive price was very clear. Even though the weather was bad on the day and we had to change the itinerary, Mr. Liu was very cooperative. He not only introduced the attractions along the way, but also drove very smoothly and comfortably. The overall service made us feel at ease. It will be our first choice for car rental in Kyushu next time!

I used to have to travel to a domestic terminal to make it, but it's great that I can now pick it up right at the international airport.

The travel time was quite long, probably 6-7 hours in total, but I slept most of the time, so I didn't feel it much. The longest stretch was the last leg from Ten'yangu Temple back to Fukuoka, about 3 hours one way, with only one rest stop. People with bladder problems might want to consider this (a little tip: eat some mochi, bean daifuku, or honey cake before the journey; they're sold at Lawson convenience stores at the departure point, and it can effectively relieve the urge to urinate). Our tour leader, Koishi, was very friendly and dedicated, providing explanations and translations in Chinese, English, and Japanese. He also helped take photos along the way. Overall, I was very satisfied. Although we didn't spend too much time at each attraction, honestly, there's not much to see if you stay too long in those places anyway—the trees, water, and rocks are all the same. The first five minutes after arrival are beautiful, but afterwards they all look the same. Still, it's quite worth the trip.

Thank you to our tour guide, Cico, for his warm hospitality. Today, we joined a tour group to Takachiho and Mount Aso. There were over thirty people on the bus, accompanied by two guides. The group included Koreans, Americans, people from Hong Kong, and Taiwanese. The bus departed from Hakata Station in a lively atmosphere. After a two-hour drive, the first thing we did upon arrival was have lunch – a Miyazaki beef set meal. I thought it would be two thin slices of beef, but it turned out to be six large, thick-cut slices, served with local rice and drinks – truly satisfying! After lunch, we headed for a boat trip. The Chiho Gorge is beautiful. Walking along the Gose River, we could admire unique terrain such as the columnar jointed "Sennjin Screen Rock" and the 200-ton "Oni-Hachiroki Rock." The tour company had booked boats for us, so we could immediately hop on and paddle around – it was hilarious! 😂 Afterwards, we headed to Mount Aso. Actually, Mount Aso has been closed since the helicopter crash. Tourists can only see Aso smoking from afar in Kusasenri. We strolled around Kusasenri and bought Aso milk and ice cream at the visitor center. The roadside around Mount Aso was truly beautiful, and with today's great weather—blue skies, white clouds, and lush green trees—it was incredibly soothing. We finished our day's itinerary around 4 pm. On the way back, our guide, Liu Zhihong (Cico), shared a spot for enjoying the night view: a free rooftop garden on the tenth floor of the station! We took some beautiful photos of the moon, concluding our day's trip.
