We chartered a car from Fukuoka to a hot spring hotel in Yufuin. We first visited Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Because of the heavy traffic on Saturday, the driver suggested adjusting the itinerary and having lunch at a rest stop along the way before heading to Yufuin to avoid having to queue for lunch. After arriving, we parked the car in the parking lot in the middle of Yunotsubo, which was only a ten-minute walk from Lake Kinrin, which was great.
Traveling with elderly family members. Our driver, Xiao Guan, was very patient and polite, and also introduced local facilities along the way. Since there were many elderly people in our group, he also helped communicate with the restaurant during lunch, making the trip very smooth. The smooth trip left us with extra time, and he even recommended some suitable short trips along the route. We would definitely book again next time.
The driver was very nice and would also help take pictures and gave us advice to walk less roads and arrived early to wait, the vehicle was very comfortable. Each custom location will be confirmed again. And will remind the current road situation will be congested, there is a chance to affect the trip arrangement, the driver is very good, will give the local trip route and recommended time, the allocation is very flexible, get on and off points can be arranged according to their requirements, the overall experience is full.
Our original trip to Itsujima was cancelled, so we booked a trip to Saga instead, which was a pleasant surprise :D The attractions were less crowded, making it very comfortable to explore. We had just the right amount of time to spare, and we could choose to visit either the hot springs or the library. This time, we chose the hot springs. There were many pools to choose from, and the facilities were very new. Soaking in the hot springs was very relaxing, making it a very leisurely trip to Saga.
We chose a day trip to Oita. Our driver, Xiao Li, was very steady and professional. As soon as we got in, he estimated the itinerary and discussed the itinerary, including additions and deletions, and the order of the itinerary, all within the agreed timeframe. He also recommended worthwhile places and restaurants. He was friendly and engaging in conversation during the drive. When we needed to rest and sleep, the car was incredibly stable and quiet, making it a wonderful sleep. 🤣 It was a relaxing day trip for our elderly, without having to worry about transportation. I'd definitely go with Xiao Li again!
