Takachiho Gorge is located in a remote area, and the tour we booked this time was quite pleasant. Although the tour was during the holiday traffic peak, our tour guide, Wang Qi, managed the time very well and arrived at Hakata Station on time at 18:00. During the tour, he did not skimp on introducing the scenery and taking good care of our group. The whole trip was very relaxing and comfortable.
