Yesterday's day trip was wonderful! A special thank you to our guide, Huahua, who was so responsible and attentive, sharing her experiences and telling us where to buy things and what to eat, giving us a clearer direction for our visit. She's fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean—truly impressive! 👏
Yufuin is a place I'd love to visit again. We were still wanting more after this trip, and I definitely want to come back to fully enjoy the town's relaxed atmosphere. Taking the "Yufuin no Mori" sightseeing train back was also fantastic, enjoying the scenery along the way and creating wonderful memories for the trip. I'm so glad my family and I joined this trip together, and thank you Huahua for her thoughtful guidance! ❤️
Aside from not having enough time to explore, everything else was fantastic ❤️! We felt very full and ate delicious fried chicken and fried mushrooms! We also visited our favorite Jeep shopping area and discovered a beautiful glass ornament shop! We also visited the beautiful Kinrin Lake and were lucky enough to encounter samurai dressed in samurai attire! Everything was just so SO cool!
I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Xiao Li, is fluent in English, Japanese, and Mandarin. The tour involves many ups and downs of stairs, so please assess your physical condition accordingly. Especially the second stop, Takachiho; I booked a tour including lunch, and the restaurant arranged transportation back. Otherwise, group members would have to walk up the mountain back to the starting point, which I imagine would be very tiring.
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!
Our tour guide, Lily, was very enthusiastic and provided thoughtful service. The only downside was the weather today; although it was raining, the itinerary remained unchanged.
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.
