It's excellent value for money. The five items you can choose include a 1500 yen meal voucher and a round-trip ticket for the Sarakurayama Ropeway. It's easy to redeem, and I'll definitely buy it again next time.
Having a car is very convenient; in some places, you can only get to 1-2 places by yourself by public transport. A guided tour of Japanese culture is also included.
The flight from Osaka to Hakata is direct, takes just over two hours, has comfortable seats, affordable fares, and frequent departures. If you have large luggage, it's easy to reserve a seat at the counter or at the airport on the same day; just follow the signs.
Our family first time to Fukuoka, with two elderly people, so car rental will be more comfortable and much more convenient, KKDAY arranged Xiao Liu driver for us, Xiao Liu these two days early arrived at our hotel, since the hotel door can not park, so he arrived early near the hotel and we can leave at any time. Our first stop for Xiao Liu's opinion was Idu Cai Cai, because he suggested that if this place is thicker, freshly picked fruits and vegetables are likely to be bought out so we listened to his opinion and went first. We went to Idu Cai Cai as a family to buy a lot of things to buy fruit crops and wine, it doesn't matter if you buy it because Xiao Lau upgraded our car to the Elfa model, I don't know what the difference is between each model but my family and I have been sitting very comfortably these past two days. Then listen to Xiao Liu's opinion the second stop to Shirai Waterfall, very spectacular, and then go to lunch "Tsukamoto Fresh Fish Shop", I found this restaurant early thinking to take my family to eat fresh sashimi and the place is spacious and comfortable to sit. Then the third stop we went to the sea salt pudding workshop, the caramel flavored sea salt pudding was super good, the sea view was great, we stayed there for a long time. The fourth stop was originally booked to the main gate of the mustard house, but the counter for taking the boat was not open. Then drive to Palm Beach to check in the sea view, return back to Hakata on the way, saw a large boutique and home goods store, so asked Liu to put us down, Xiao Liu suggested we go to the nearby super large drugstore, the price will be a little cheaper than Hakata city, we decided to ask Xiao Liu to open OT. To sum up the two-day trip 10 points comfortable and the driver, Xiao Liu, was very attentive and considerate, and provided a lot of good feedback. Last thing I want to say the cabin is very spacious, clean and odorless.
This day trip to Moji Port, Motonosumi Shrine, and the Sarakurayama Ropeway in Kyushu was quite convenient overall, especially when the attractions are far apart and transportation is difficult to plan independently. It's perfect for joining a day tour. You can nap on the bus and take photos when you get off, without worrying about driving, transferring, or parking – very easy for travelers.
Moji Port retains its century-old Taisho-era romantic atmosphere, making it a charming old-world port town. The architecture and street scenes are very photogenic and definitely worth a stop. Motonosumi Shrine wasn't as breathtaking as the photos suggest, but on a clear day, the seaside view is still great for photos and strolls.
The Sarakurayama Ropeway was a bit of a disappointment. Transportation was inconvenient, the ride and waiting time were long, and the scenery at the top was rather ordinary, making it not very cost-effective overall. If there's room for future itinerary adjustments, I would suggest replacing Sarakurayama with other more unique and enriching attractions.
The downside of a day tour is the shorter time spent at each attraction, requiring more punctuality and precise time management. Sometimes, it can feel like there's not enough time for taking photos or shopping. I recommend buying lunch in advance at a convenience store and having a quick bite during the journey or in between, saving time spent searching for restaurants and waiting for food, thus allowing more time for sightseeing.
Special thanks to our guide, Hedy, who was incredibly kind and patient. Her attentive guidance and friendly demeanor made the entire trip more comfortable and enjoyable. I hope to have the opportunity to participate in other tours led by her in the future!
