Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine

Everything was great with our small group! Cico gave a very thorough introduction, and the driver drove very smoothly – a perfect day trip! Boating on the Yanagawa River was fun, and we also had delicious eel rice.

The itinerary wasn't too rushed, making it suitable for traveling with elders. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and our tour guide, Mr. Sun Nan, was very enthusiastic, making our day trip a wonderful experience! Highly recommended! Y(^_^)Y

The tour guide (Xiao Mao), driver, and itinerary were all excellent. It even snowed during the trip…that was even better!

When we arrived at the meeting point at 8:00 AM, the tour leader hadn't appeared yet, but eventually showed up holding a sign. Perhaps because the tour guide was a local Japanese and didn't speak much English/Chinese, we communicated using Google Translate. This was a slight disappointment, as we joined the tour hoping the guide would provide some background information on Fukuoka and the history of the attractions. The audio guide's commentary was essentially the same as the online promotional text for the trip, not very helpful 🤣. Also, considering that January 5th was still during the New Year period, we were told that the "Raizan Senruji Temple" stop was removed, and the entire group returned to the meeting point around 5:15 PM. Personally, I think the tour guide should have arranged for this location to be visited again before the end of the trip, depending on the vehicle's condition, so that travelers could check it out. Overall, the vehicle condition, driver, and the smoothness of the itinerary were acceptable.
