The itinerary included meals, and there was no need to retrace the route, as it didn't require much leg strength from the elderly. They simply needed to follow the guide's instructions. The time and shopping were well-managed. The only downside was the risk of slipping during heavy rain; otherwise, there was nothing to complain about.
The guide was fluent in Japanese and Mandarin, took good care of all the tourists, was very friendly, provided excellent explanations, and thoughtfully included time on signs and music during breaks. He also recommended restaurants in Fukuoka. He mentioned he really longed to experience life in Fukuoka.
This talent should be given more responsibility and his salary increased.
***************************** This Fukuoka day trip was a very satisfying experience. The itinerary was very well designed, avoiding backtracking. The time and pace of shopping were perfectly managed, greatly reducing the physical burden on the elderly and allowing them to easily keep up. Although the heavy rain made some roads slippery and posed a slight risk of slipping, the overall itinerary and meal arrangements were still handled meticulously and thoughtfully, almost flawlessly.
The tour guide's professional performance was a highlight of the trip. He was fluent in both Japanese and Mandarin, attentively caring for travelers from diverse backgrounds, and maintained a cheerful demeanor throughout, providing lively and engaging explanations. He demonstrated exceptional professionalism in details, such as proactively writing down meeting times on signs, playing music to remind group members after breaks, and generously sharing local Fukuoka culinary gems and recommended attractions. He even shared his love and longing for life in Fukuoka, his enthusiasm for his work truly touching.
In conclusion, such a talented individual, possessing both strong language skills and meticulous service, is invaluable. I strongly recommend that the travel agency give him more responsibility and a raise to recognize the exceptional travel experience he provided.
Thank you so much for your kindness and smiles 😊😁
The attractions were all fantastic. Although Mount Aso was closed, it was still well worth going up to Kusanagi Senri to admire the mountain – it was beautiful. I recommend taking a golf cart up the mountain at your own expense while in Kusanagi Senri; the scenery is different once the fog clears. Also, our guide, Shanshan, provided interesting and detailed explanations, which added a wonderful touch to the trip. My family was very satisfied with the trip. Thank you!
The scenery of Takachiho Gorge was breathtaking, and the tour guide was friendly and attentive. The only downside was that the time spent in Takachiho Gorge was too short. I hope to visit again in the future.
This was my first time hiring a car in Fukuoka. The itinerary for the day was to visit Mount Aso to see the beautiful scenery, but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it rained heavily. The driver was very considerate and explained to us that the fog on the mountain was very thick and we might not be able to see the scenery we wanted. After carefully asking whether we wanted to shop, enjoy the scenery, or just have a quick look around, he provided us with the best itinerary. Since we were traveling with elderly people, the driver was very accommodating and made us get off at several points, ensuring that the elderly people were safely taken back to their hotel. It was a wonderful experience!
Thank you, Guide Sumire, for going the extra mile for us, even though we can't speak a single word of Chinese. You even had the sense to immediately switch to Japanese whenever we looked like newborn calves with confused expressions while you were diligently explaining in Chinese. We wanted to visit Takachiho but didn't have a car, and since there weren't many options for Korean-guided tours, we deliberated before signing up. Although the guide couldn't speak Korean, I live in Japan so we could communicate in Japanese, and thanks to that, the guide gave us a lot of explanations in Japanese as well. Also, the weather that day felt like a whopping 38 degrees Celsius... Kumamoto's summer is no joke. Despite that, you guided us with such passion until the very end, without showing a single sign of fatigue. (It's just a shame I couldn't understand everything.) It was impressive to see you explaining things with a smile despite the hot weather. It was a bit lamentable that I was the only one who couldn't laugh along with everyone else because I don't know a word of Chinese. In particular, watching everyone happily participate and answer the quiz together made me think, "Ah... this is the time I really need to study Chinese." This tour actually gave me the motivation to learn. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour itself, but compared to other tours, there is a bit more walking and less free time. Nevertheless, there was plenty of time to take photos, and it was fun. If you are traveling with your parents, I recommend choosing a tour with a slightly more relaxed schedule. The meeting point was inside Kumamoto Station; you simply stand in line among the Chinese participants, give your name, and board the vehicle to start the tour immediately. I highly recommend it!
Starting from Fukuoka and joining a boat trip in Takachiho is incredibly convenient. No need to drive yourself or scramble for tickets; you can row a boat under Manai Falls – it's a truly wonderful experience! I recommend finding your guide as soon as possible to collect your tickets so you can enjoy a more relaxed boating experience.
