The itinerary was well-planned, and the boatman was very humorous and witty, even singing several classic songs, making the whole trip very enjoyable and fun.
The trip was comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. Kobayashi's service was excellent and very thoughtful, and the restaurants he recommended were delicious.
Our Japanese driver was very polite, lovely, and considerate; thank you so much (five stars for him!). All four locations we visited were beautiful, but the Yanagawa section was a bit disappointing, though overall it was a good trip.
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!
The boatman was a professional at jumping off the boat and singing (more than five Japanese songs). Although the low water level caused the boat to get stuck a bit, the experience was very fun.
The Liuchuan cruise area is quite quiet, and the surrounding buildings give it a historical feel, which I really liked. However, it's best to go around 5 PM, otherwise it gets too hot.
Shortly after placing the order, the app notified us to add our contact information. Then, the travel agency created a group chat. All we needed to do was leave a message about the itinerary we wanted and provide the driver's name the day before. Our driver was Mr. Zhang. He arrived early at the designated pick-up point, not only taking a photo of the license plate but also standing by the door to guide us on and off the bus. There were six of us, and the travel agency provided a spacious and comfortable 10-seater minibus. Before departure, we discussed the itinerary (Salt Pudding/Akuta-daimon/Sunset/Shiratori/Meito-iwa/Miya-jigoku), and he informed us of any road tolls/parking fees. They also helped us purchase boat tickets for Akuta-daimon, made reservations at the Sunset restaurant, and guided us to some of the attractions. The overall experience was fantastic, highly recommended! Thank you kkday and Mr. Zhang for creating wonderful memories for our whole family!
