I didn't have high expectations for the distillery on this trip, but it turned out to be my favorite part. The distillery's sake was not only delicious but also offered unlimited tastings. The staff were very patient and confident in their homemade sake. Even though I don't usually drink, I couldn't resist buying several bottles and some rice wine. The tour leader was very enthusiastic in introducing the sights, and for lunch, we had a famous set meal of various hot spring tofu dishes. Although this trip was a bit off the beaten path, the overall experience was very comfortable because there were few people. I might want to try this trip next time!
Our group of 12 friends was advised by customer service to rent an 18-seater minibus. We could easily fit all our luggage in, and there were still seats available for thick coats and bags, making for a comfortable three days. The best part was the driver's professionalism and friendliness; he spoke fluent Mandarin and was patient with the young children. It started snowing on the first night, and some roads were closed the next morning, requiring us to change our plans. The driver helped us call nearby indoor attractions to check if they were open, and we finally found a monkey theater where the children played in the snow – it was cold but fun!
Our family went on a day trip by chartered car, from Yufuin to Mount Aso, and then to Kumamoto. The driver was very helpful, and the car was comfortable. Highly recommended!
Two weeks before departure, the company created a group chat so we could contact the driver. The day before, we informed them that my mother had difficulty walking, and the company specially upgraded us to a larger vehicle. Throughout the trip, the driver's driving skills were smooth, and he had a great understanding of Japanese geography and customs, providing excellent analysis and sharing. The journey was very smooth, and he managed the travel time perfectly. It's definitely a chartered car service highly recommended!
Mr. You, the driver, was very kind, enthusiastic, and patient. He drove steadily and smoothly, and the family was very satisfied with the chartered car trip.
This 3-day trip to Kyushu was booked with a KKday car service, and our driver was Xiaobai. We agreed on the destinations with Xiaobai, and he helped us plan the most convenient route. Since we weren't familiar with the attractions, he recommended good places to eat and do fun things. I highly recommend it; it's a great experience for groups of 10 or more. The price is reasonable, and you can choose your own pick-up and drop-off points, so staying far from the city center isn't a problem. Kyushu is huge, so this time we only visited a few major attractions. For my next in-depth trip, I'll definitely choose KKday again, and it would be even better if I could meet Xiaobai again! ^^
The tour was very informative, and we saw exquisite porcelain and one of the world's top five libraries. The tour guide was very friendly, and the driver was an excellent driver.
It's true that we didn't need to queue during the off-season, and it was really convenient not having to take out our wallets, just our phones. However, because we bought our tickets in advance, our itinerary wasn't as flexible. The ticket prices weren't high, so buying them on-site is also an option!
The driver was very friendly and provided excellent service! Thank you so much! I hope to have the opportunity to book your car again. Five-star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
