[What's special about this tour?]
► Local Korean guides receive photography training from professional photographers.
To help you preserve your precious travel memories, we will take photos for free with a camera (Leica) at the best day-trip destinations in Fukuoka. In addition, the photos will be professionally edited at a photo studio and sent to you after your trip.
► Prepare for your trip with sincerity.
A day before the trip, a local Korean guide will contact each participant to provide information on the weather on the day of the trip, what to prepare, and other information about the entire trip so that you can feel and enjoy the schedule more vividly. Feel free to ask any questions you may have in advance.
On the day of the tour, the guide will provide a detailed explanation of each tourist attraction while moving. Since the operator values the time of travelers, the explanation will be provided for only about 1/3 of the travel time, allowing sufficient rest and leisurely sightseeing. On the way back to the dissolution location after completing all the schedules, each person will be asked questions and recommendations for the schedule, places to eat, etc. Therefore, we recommend participating in the tour on the first or second day of the full-scale travel schedule.
Also, among the products traveling to the Shimonoseki area starting from in front of the Lawson convenience store at Hakata Station in Fukuoka, this tour has the longest stay time at each destination compared to other companies.
► Coupons for more reasonable Japanese shopping
After the schedule ends, you can receive Don Quijote coupons, Matsumoto Kiyoshi Drugstore coupons, and Bic Camera coupons. Also, you can make a reservation with confidence because no items will be sold during the trip and there will be no on-site payment.
