What our Customer have to say
Dear Takako & Masa-san,
Yes, we have all returned home safely with overflowing suitcases & added body weight!
We definitely enjoyed our trip even though some of us had to work very hard to conquer the
steps up & down especially for the Udo Shrine & Mt Tsurumi. These are our own physical limitations.
Kyushu is a beautiful island with the mountains, volcanoes, calderas, gorges, hot springs and lush
greenery everywhere (some autumnal colors too).
Our guide, Fumiko worked very closely with the bus driver, Sato to plan for suitable rest stops on the
longer drives & we appreciate their thoughtfulness. Sato was a very safe and careful driver and we
appreciate his skillfulness and care. Fumiko is tirelessly making sure all the arrangements for our
next stops are in order and if there is problem she tries very positively to overcome the difficulty.
She talked to every shuttle bus driver/taxi driver at the base of Takachiho Gorge to try and get us a
ride up to the bus park. Everyone said no until one driver said ok as his customers were a no show!
She is someone you can depend on and she is very fit to climb everywhere so effortlessly.
As customers, we are generally delighted as your service has exceeded our expectations.
Accommodations in Kagoshima and Beppu were excellent. Arden Hotel has its own character and
I liked it. As you can guess, those 3 hotels had outdoor onsens as well. We were treated to fireworks
at 6pm whilst in the outdoor onsen facing Sakurajima – what a nice surprise! Ibusuki Seaside Hotel was
good for our in-house black sand experience. The Kumamoto hotel was excellent for its close location
to shopping and food but we did not have much time for shopping there. Likewise Clio Court Hotel is
also located right at Hakata Station entrance – some ladies felt it was old and furniture dated but for a
short stay, most of us had no negatives as the rooms were quite large to accommodate all our big
suitcases for packing! I personally consider Clio Court Hotel much nicer than Richmond Hotel.
The food everywhere ranges from good to excellent – we managed to try almost everything on Kyushu
except those Kagoshima lobsters Fumiko mentioned as we drove away from Kagoshima!
I used to work as a Total Quality Manager (TQM sort – not the QC sort) so I have asked the ladies to
fill out a feedback questionnaire and I will summarise their feedback and send it to you possibly by
the end of next week.
A big Thank You to Hikako for patiently working all the bits and pieces of our main itinerary and my
personal side itineraries. I have given Fumiko a little bag for assorted items for both Hikako and
Masa-san – small items from Singapore. And a big Thank You to Fumiko & Sato-san too!

Hakata temple & shrine town trail, in Fukuoka-prefecture
Hakata temple and shrine town is located within walking distance of JR ]Hakata Station and
there are many Temples and Shrines where you can feel and soak up the ambience of true
traditional Japanese culture.
The history of Hakata temple and shrine town started with the dispatch of Japanese cultural and
political missions to China in the 7th century. Afterwards the area prospered as the hub of Hakata,
which at the time was the largest port trading city in Japan.
There are many valuable artefacts and monuments here, including Tochoji temple, Kushida
Shrine, Jotenji temple, Shofukuji temple as well as Engakuji temple.
It is also surprising that Hakata has little recognition for being the origin of many culinary staples
such as Udon and Soba noodles, Manju (steamed bun), Uiro (steamed cake made of rice flour),
and traditional beverages like Japanese green tea.
This important historical area is also the location of Japan’s first Zen-temple and Shingon-temple.

Maple Yaba Cycling Road, in Oita-prefecture
Maple Yaba Cycling Road is a bicycle path that uses the abandoned Yabakei
Railway line and was established in 1982. As it uses the old railway line,
the gradient is gentle and it is a recommended cycling course for beginners.
You can enjoy many scenic spots such as the autumn leaves and the “Ao no Cave
” made famous by Kikuchi Kan’s “Beyond Gratitude and Revenge”, and it is a
cycling road with a wide variety of routes including tunnels and iron bridges that
use the old railway line.
