Starting from Hakata, Fukuoka, taking a day tour by bus is a great option, eliminating the hassle of transfers. The tour started with the Kanmon Strait and the Akiyoshi-dō limestone cave, followed by an elevator ride to the Akiyoshidai Karst Observatory. We had burdock noodles at Azumiya for lunch, then visited Motonosumi Inari Shrine and the Tsunoshima Bridge. The pace was excellent, and I think it was well worth it. A big thank you to our enthusiastic guide, Thomas, who was professional and attentive, taking many great photos for me.
This day trip to Mt. Sarakura in Kyushu was absolutely worthwhile! Some attractions are inconvenient to reach by public transport alone, so joining a bus tour saved you the hassle of transfers and made the trip much easier. The itinerary included Kanmon Bridge, Karato Market, Motonosumi Shrine, and Mt. Sarakura. Our guide, Daisy, provided detailed and attentive explanations throughout, not only introducing local culture but also reminding us of meeting times via Line, making the journey smoother. The seafood at Karato Market was fresh and reasonably priced; Motonosumi Shrine was the most stunning attraction of the trip, with spectacular views. It's not easy to reach without a car, so it's definitely worth a visit. Finally, we took the cable car up Mt. Sarakura to enjoy one of the three best night views in New Japan. It was a bit of a shame that we had to return early and missed the full night view and sunset, but overall, the trip was still very fulfilling and a very enjoyable travel experience. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
