Yanagawa

The package is convenient and you can even exchange it for plum blossom cakes and other snacks. However, there's not much shade in Liuchuan. When we went, the sky was cloudless, and while it was beautiful, it was incredibly sunny... So be sure to check the weather and use sunscreen if you go!

I participated in the JRT Ikejima-Yanagawa-Dazaifu tour. The day before the trip, our guide, Ms. Jiang, thoughtfully emailed us with the day's itinerary and helpful reminders. On the day of the tour, we met in front of the Oriental Hotel at the Chikushi Exit of Hakata Station, a very easy-to-find location. The minibus was very comfortable, and Ms. Jiang was very attentive in explaining and arranging the itinerary and assisting with taking photos. I highly recommend this tour.

Both the transportation and lunch were excellent. Highly recommended. The eel at lunch was especially delicious.

Extremely satisfied. The check-in point was in the hotel lobby, and parking was available at the hotel entrance. Straw hats were available for rent on-site, and the entire boat wore them, creating a fantastic retro feel. The ninja boatmen were skilled, incredibly enthusiastic, and their singing was full of emotion – perfect! If I plan another trip to Kyushu, I will definitely return.

Visiting four attractions at a reasonable price, with audio guides that even those who don't understand Japanese can enjoy themselves, but Yanagawa in July is really too hot.

We were foreigners, but the boatman still tried his best to help us understand the background and history of the area, and the process was very interesting. Although the weather was hot, the whole trip was still very enjoyable and a wonderful experience.

The cruise ship docked in Fukuoka from 12:30 to 22:00, with actual disembarkation around 1:30 PM. It's recommended to return to the pier by 8:00 PM at the latest to allow ample time for boarding and avoid missing the cruise. We opted for a private English-speaking driver, and the overall experience was excellent! The driver was friendly, punctual, and professional, arranging the smoothest route based on the cruise ship's boarding and disembarking times, real-time traffic conditions, and passenger needs. He provided many practical suggestions and had excellent time management, making the shore excursion easy and efficient. The itinerary included: * Visiting Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, taking a walk, and enjoying local cuisine * Shopping at LaLaport in Fukuoka (UNIQLO, GU, Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, drugstores, etc.) * Shopping for drugstores and souvenirs in Tenjin Shopping District * Enjoying dinner with family in Tenjin. The short 6.5-hour shore excursion not only allowed us to visit all the attractions we wanted but also provided ample time for shopping and dining. There was no rush or transportation issues throughout the trip. If your cruise ship is docked in Fukuoka, we highly recommend choosing a private shore excursion. Not only will it save you time transferring to public transportation, but it also allows you to customize your itinerary to your needs. A professional driver will help plan the most suitable attractions and stopover times, maximizing your limited shore excursion time and ensuring you easily visit all of Fukuoka's popular spots, creating wonderful travel memories.
