The tour leader was very kind and responsible, providing detailed explanations of each attraction and taking great care of the group members. He even arranged a delicious eel rice meal for lunch. Overall, the trip was excellent. Thank you to our tour leader, Mr. Zhang, for your care; I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
This trip to Fukuoka with my dad and sister included a yukata experience in Dazaifu, Nyoi-rin Temple, and a Yanagawa River cruise. They had a wonderful time all day! I especially loved the lovely lady who helped us put on our yukatas; she was beautiful, kind, and very attentive, helping us adjust them so we could take lots of beautiful photos! Thank you also to our tour guide; she was incredibly kind and considerate throughout the trip, and the itinerary was wonderfully planned, making the trip very relaxing even with my dad. The Yanagawa River cruise was also a lot of fun; sitting on the boat and slowly enjoying the scenery was so relaxing. This trip truly created many wonderful memories, and my dad and sister had a fantastic time! I highly recommend this trip!
A great experience! Although it drizzled a bit halfway through, there was no free shuttle bus, so I had to take a taxi back to the station. Dazaifu wasn't bad at all! The plum blossom rice cakes were delicious.
The communication and coordination were friendly, the cruise was safe, and the entire trip included various performances that both adults and children enjoyed.
At each attraction, the driver will hold up a sign to remind you of the meeting time. The Japanese garden at Senju-ji Temple is very beautiful. I recommend paying 500 yen to enter and visit the garden and main hall. The aroma of wood from the building combined with the garden is very comfortable and quiet.
This trip, conducted during a heavy rain, happened to involve mostly water activities. The scenery at the Itoshima attractions was quite different from what I usually see (a yellowish-blue hue)... We ate at the Ichiran Ramen factory, a must-try ramen experience. Our guide, Mr. Yang, had made a reservation in advance, which caused a minor hiccup, but everything went smoothly, and we ate ramen before noon. The most regrettable thing was that it took over three hours to reach Yanagawa. We were originally supposed to catch the boat as planned, but the water level rose so high that the trip was canceled. We got a refund for the boat ticket, and could only use the restroom and buy some souvenirs... The good thing is that the next stop is Dazaifu, so we have more time to leisurely stroll around and buy snacks, such as ume-ga mochi... We arrived back at Hakata Station an hour early.
Nishitetsu (West Railroad) - clockwise and counter-clockwise. Convenient both ways.
Yanagawa boatman. Works hard!
Japanese introductions along the way. Really hard to understand.
Dazaifu Omotesando (Dazaifu Grand Shrine) - Lots of monkeys.
Gohonden (Grand Hall) - Newly opened. The best part!
Inari Shrine on the back mountain. Great atmosphere.
Overall, not quite a 1/2 rating. 🤘
Thanks to the customer service team and Mr. Liu for their hard work. The customer service team responded quickly and confirmed the itinerary several times before departure. The all-inclusive price was very clear. Even though the weather was bad on the day and we had to change the itinerary, Mr. Liu was very cooperative. He not only introduced the attractions along the way, but also drove very smoothly and comfortably. The overall service made us feel at ease. It will be our first choice for car rental in Kyushu next time!
I hired a car for two days this time, and I'm very grateful for the service from driver Xiao Liu! He was always punctual at the agreed locations and times. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Fukuoka who needs a car rental service.
