  A local dish that has been passed down in Omura since ancient times. During the ancient time, when feudal lord Omura Sumikore, who had been defeated in battle and had his territory taken away, fought back and regained his territory, the people of his territory made pressed sushi and served it to celebrate.    It is said to have originated. The reason why it was pressed sushi was because there weren’t enough tableware to feed a large number of soldiers. It is said that the people spread large quantities of freshly cooked rice in a shallow wooden box and quickly made pressed sushi with double toppings, which the soldiers then ate by cutting it into squares with a wakizashi. Due to this tradition, the locals have called it “Omura sushi, which means sushi to celebrate winning battles, ” and it is still valued as an indispensable dish for celebrations.

We are all very happy with the arrangements.   Miki San is a very good guide. And Sato-San   is a very capable and safe driver.   My feedback to you is that the BBQ  place is probably not suitable as the place is filled with smoke and no ventilation fans. Also the first 2 golf courses are good , the third course is too hilly and undulating for seniors like us.  Too tiring climbing up the many slopes without caddy.  The food selections were fabulous.. we enjoyed the wide array of food.   Thanks again and we will contact you next time if we decide to come again.   Have a good day.

Beppu   Yufuin, Yanagawa, Fukuoka What our Customer have to say Dear Masa-san, We throughly enjoyed our 8 days guided with our English speaking driver Tasuke Sekimoto (our very 1st visit to Kyushu).   Tuck is very knowledgeable and accommodative towards all our asks.  For the 1st 2 days, itinerary had to be revamped entirely due to heavy rain and he was able to navigate this skilfully.   We had amazing food recommendations from Tuck across all price range and was able to experience many memorable add-ons (rickshaw experience with Kimono, etc).   Kaiseiki dinner and onsen at Arden Hotel Aso was fantastic, although the bed was quite hard (hotel fixed that with additional bedding layering the next day).  Yufuin Shikisai ryokan was below average – access into the hotel lobby from car drop off point is quite difficult with heavy luggage (winding and uneven stones). Overall it was a great trip for us and would highly recommend Tuck for others considering small group tour (using his own vehicle which was very spacious and well kept). It was a pity that southern Kyushu like Kagoshima and Miyazaki were not …
