Fukuoka one-day trip to Takachiho Gorge, Amano Yasugawara shrine, and a vintage scenic railway, with optional boat cruise.
“Really fun day trip! Takachiho Gorge was beautiful and definitely worth the visit – the cliffs and river were amazing. The scenic railway ride was a nice touch and super relaxing. It’s a long day, but everything was well-organized and stress-free. Great way to see Takachiho from Fukuoka without worrying about the travel.”

“Eli made the tour fun and personal giving multiple suggestions of her favorite places and showing us both the bright lights and hidden gems of Fukuoka.

“I wanted to thank Saki for an amazing job with helping the multi-language chaos that was our group. She handled everything excellently and made the tour that much better just by being herself. The scenery was amazing, the locations unique and interesting (a lot of slopes and stairs on the first stop - quite a workout!). I recommend this tour for anyone who loves the mixture of the beauty of the Japanese countryside and the traditions of their past.”

Walk through Kyushu history at Shofukuji and Kushida Jinja, snack and shop on Kawabata, then finish with Hakata Station rooftop views.
“I had a wonderful tour with Vadim. He took me to the main historical attractions and was able to give me some detailed information on each, and put it into the broader context of life in modern-day Fukuoka. He was also very personable and a pleasure to spend a morning with. Highly recommended!”
Fukuoka day trip to Mt. Aso, Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, and Kurokawa Onsen. Great views, but hot-spring fees and cash add up.
“The scenery and activities were great and we had a fabulous day. Unfortunately, the tour could be better organised. Having to bring cash for all the activities was annoying and seemed unnecessary. It would be more practical to just include these in the price and make it easier for everyone. Both tour guide and guests spent an hour messing with cash.. Meeting point is always the bus, which is sometimes parked far from the activity and difficult to find. The tour guide needs to run the tour by choosing an easy meeting point and getting the tour to the bus from there. A map was given in Japanese which isn’t…”
