I was incredibly fortunate to have met our guide, Ms. Daisy, on this day trip to Mt. Sarakura in Kyushu for its stunning night view. From the day before departure, she proactively reminded us via text message of the meeting time, location, precautions, and what to wear in the weather, demonstrating her professionalism and responsibility. Throughout the trip, Ms. Daisy was warm, friendly, and attentive to each traveler. She not only provided detailed introductions to Japanese history, culture, local specialties, customs, and travel tips, but also shared a wealth of practical information. At Moji Port, she enthusiastically recommended local delicacies and restaurants, allowing everyone to savor authentic cuisine within the limited time. At Motonosumi Shrine, she explained the shrine's history and unique features, enabling us to go beyond simply taking photos and gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. The most memorable experience was undoubtedly the night view of Mt. Sarakura. Ms. Daisy thoughtfully reminded us that it can be quite windy at the summit and suggested bringing a light jacket. She also carefully explained the cable car boarding method and meeting time, ensuring everyone could comfortably enjoy the breathtaking scenery, considered one of Japan's three most spectacular night views. The entire trip was well-managed, the itinerary was smooth, and she patiently assisted us with any issues, always maintaining a smile and enthusiasm. A huge thank you to Ms. Wu Xia for her professionalism, meticulousness, and thoughtfulness throughout the trip, which gave our family wonderful travel memories. This was more than just a day trip to see beautiful scenery; it was a journey filled with joy, knowledge, and touching moments. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Wu Xia; she absolutely deserves a five-star review!
Very nice scenery at North Kyushu. We wish to commend bus captain / guide, Mr Li for explaining the trip, drive safely, ensure we have sufficient time to enjoy the trip.
