This chartered car experience was fantastic. The driver was very nice and talkative, and he even discussed the itinerary with us along the way, suggesting the most convenient routes. If you're planning to visit Fukuoka, this chartered car service is a great option.
Highly recommended. However, be careful not to choose this tour on Sundays, as explained below. This is a relatively off-the-beaten-path classic tour, as it involves crossing the sea from Fukuoka to Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is quite a distance. I specifically signed up for this tour to see Japan's largest limestone cave. On the day of the tour, we took a minibus, and all the other tourists were foreigners—no, thinking about it, I was a foreigner too! But the company didn't lower the quality of the tour because of the small number of participants; the guide was still quite professional, providing English commentary throughout, and even gave me a Chinese commentary (but since I understand English, I didn't bother the guide and listened to the English commentary with everyone else). You could feel his considerable enthusiasm; he wasn't just guiding because of work, but because he genuinely enjoyed sharing Japanese scenery with us: On the way there, the bus stopped at the Kanmon Bridge rest stop, and the guide reminded us to go up to the observation deck to take pictures of the Kanmon Bridge after using the restroom. Upon arriving at Qiufang Cave, I was treated to a discount on admission tickets because I am a resident of Tainan. I simply told the ticket seller we were from Tainan, and they quickly checked our ID cards (Tainan and Meimi City, where Qiufang Cave is located, have a tourism reciprocity agreement since 2025; thank you Mayor Wei-che). We entered Qiufang Cave from the back entrance (Heigu Gate) and exited from the main entrance, saving us half the time by avoiding back and forth. Due to the language barrier, I helped a woman from Corsica climb to the Qiuji Terrace to view the karst topography from the surface (our tickets allow re-entry back into Qiufang Cave), and then back into the cave to see the stalactites. Therefore, our visit was more comprehensive than other members of our group! An hour and a half was actually quite rushed; a one-way trip inside the cave takes nearly an hour, and climbing Qiuji Terrace takes another half hour. However, the lighting inside the cave was so dim that all the photos I took were ruined. If you want to eat, you can leave half an hour at a shop outside the entrance (Qiufang Cave isn't a popular tourist spot, and the shops were quiet) to try the Tile Bridge Buckwheat Noodles. The afternoon itinerary included a visit to Motonosumi Shrine, located in the northernmost part of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Surprisingly, the shrine was closed on Sunday! It was the first time I'd known a shrine could close. Perhaps Motonosumi's location is somewhat dangerous, directly exposed to the strong waves and winds of the Sea of Japan. Therefore, if no one is on duty on holidays, the Thousand Torii trail is closed, preventing visitors from going up to worship; tourists can only take photos from the rocks below. The Tsunoshima Ohashi Bridge has a rather unique little beach, but the north wind was very strong and cold. Fortunately, our stay was short, so it was a bonus. I recommend the mixed dried fish and seaweed sold at local shops. On the way back, I asked the tour guide if the company could make a profit, given that there were fewer than ten people on the trip and they had to pay for the car, driver, and guide's salary. The guide honestly said they didn't, at best breaking even. Operating a business at such a less popular spot is difficult, but the guide didn't slack off and still provided a very responsible tour. On the way back, at the Kanmon Ohashi Bridge rest stop, he even treated us to fried pufferfish (lots of bones XD).
I have never had such close contact with pigs, this time I can finally experience it ~ 🐽🐽 The location of the store is very convenient, easy to find, because there is a large photo of piglets at the door. Customers can take the lift or walk up the stairs to the second floor. 🐷To have close contact with pigs, you have to fill out your travel records, put down your belongings in the locker🛅, disinfect your hands👐, take your mobile phone🤳 and go in to find the pigs~ The package includes 🐱smooth donuts🍩, with crushed nuts, very tasty ~😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 Drink self-service, cold 🧊, hot water, coffee, and coffee. When you are surrounded by a group of 🐽 pig BBs, you can't go get a drink 😅 The one-hour experience is very satisfying ~ Next time I have to bring the children 👪 to come first ~
