What our Customer have to say
Our family of four recently engaged the service of Japan-Kyushu-tourist to show us around
Kyushu region. From the first enquiry Mr Masa Kondo and subsequently follow-up by
Ms Takako Hanami were very responsive and prompt in their email correspondence.
They have good suggestions for places to visit as well as restaurants that served local cuisines.
Since it’s a private tour we can dictate what we want to see and the length of stay at each attraction.
This made it very flexible and suited our style of travel. We take as long as we wanted wandering,
taking in the sights and many photo opportunities. The vehicle they arranged was top-notch with
plenty of room for comfort.
As for Mr Ko we cannot say enough good things about him. He is a careful driver who accompanied
us for five full days exploring Kyushu. His service is outstanding, professional, helpful, and courteous.
He is very punctual in picking us every morning. He is also very knowledgeable about the region of
Kyushu and respond to our questions promptly. The vehicle was kept clean and comfortable
throughout our trip.
Overall we had an enjoyable trip and it made it more so with a good driver/escort who is passionate
about his job. We would highly recommend japan-Kyushu-tourist and Mr Ko’s service to anyone
who is looking for a private tour in Kyushu.
