Yufuin, Beppu, Kamado Jigoku (Hell of the Stove), Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine Kyushu Day Trip | Includes Admission Tickets + Onsen Tamago (Hot Spring Egg) + Marble Soda | Chinese-Speaking Guide (Departure from Fukuoka)
Although it rained heavily that day, which was very inconvenient (weather is indeed uncontrollable), the itinerary was not rushed, allowing ample time for sightseeing. Our guide, Xiao Liu, was very responsible and attentive, explaining the origins of each attraction and making sure no one was missed. He was also very willing to answer any questions.

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.
