Kyushu

Although the device froze a bit when I switched to eSIM, it was much better after I tried turning it off. Now it only takes one click, unlike before when I had to press other buttons.

The flight from Osaka to Hakata is direct, takes just over two hours, has comfortable seats, affordable fares, and frequent departures. If you have large luggage, it's easy to reserve a seat at the counter or at the airport on the same day; just follow the signs.

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.

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! ❤️

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.

Great coverage both in Osaka and Tokyo.

Easy to receive, convenient and affordable. Although it can be used in not every store, it's still pretty good.

The architecture is very European-style, the collaboration is very well done, the EVA game is very fun, and the Miffy collaboration is also very cute. Overall, one day isn't enough to play it all.

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.
