What our Customer have to say

Thank you for organizing this trip. 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. 

 


 

8 days Kyushu tour for Singapore Customer

Number of participant : 2 persons

Schedule : March 24 to 31, 2024 

Transportation : Private vehicle with English speaking driver 

Where to visit :  Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Takachiho, Aso. 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 suggested during itinerary

planning even though we had have indicated that we are staying 11 days in total within Kyushu.

 I thought that it was due to accessibility considerations. You may want to consider these destinations

for your future client groups who spend longer time within Kyushu (completes the area tour).

What our Customer have to say

Dear Masa,

We have returned home safely after a very fulfilling pilgrimage.

We understand much better Christianity in Kyushu over 450 years and enjoyed ourselves.

Will contact you again when we are planning our next pilgrimage trip to Japan.

That you very much for the very well planned trip.

 


 

7 days Kyushu tour for Singapore Customer

Number of participant : 4 persons

Schedule : March 24 to 30, 2024 

Transportation : Private vehicle with English speaking driver

Where to visit :  Kumamoto, Takachiho, Aso, Beppu, Yufuin

   

What our Customer have to say

Dear Masa-san,

Many thanks for the organisation of our 1st trip to Kyushu. We had a wonderful time from

your kind arrangement and Mr Taniguchi-san driving and supporting us in Kyushu.

It was a wonderful trip.

Yumeishizuku Ryokan was beautiful and  dinners at both Yumeishizuku & Sotonoyu

Waraku Ryokan were fabulous. Thank you for arranging this.

We like to share with you a feedback for Shikisai Hotel, which is not favourable.

Shikisai Ryokan is not a friendly place. We encountered difficulty dragging our luggages

& a wheelchair at outdoor uneven stone ground to check-in at  Ryokan and we have an

elderly too, no help was provided by Ryokan. When we left Ryokan, we didn’t receive any

support from Shikisai Ryokan as well. Not a friendly and hospitable place. Additionally,

we couldn’t enjoy the onsen as private onsens were fully booked and their dinner was

also below average. Would suggest to reconsider recommending Shikisai Hotel to your

next customer.

Nonetheless, we are happy to share your email address to our friends in Singapore.

I have also  given your email address to my friend Mandy, who will reach you via email

about Hokkaido.

I don’t think you do Hokkaido but I will have her to reach you. You may let her know.

We hope to return to Kyushu again and to reach you in our next trip. Thank you very

much for the time for all arrangements in past few months for us, Masa-san/ Hinami-san.

Arigato gozaimasu 🙇‍♀️

Kyushu Travel Guide

  • Fukuoka, travel, tour
    Fukuoka-prefecture

 

Kyushu is the most southerly of Japan’s 4 major islands with a size of 330km north-south

and 240km east-west, It is separated from Japan’s main island of Honshu by the Kanmon

Strait. All the prefectures of Kyushu face to the seas and have intricate, spectacular and

sometimes isolated coast lines. Kyushu is characterized by its many volcanic mountains

such as Unzen, Tsurumi, Yufu and Kirishima including active volcanos Aso and Sakurajima.

Kyushu itself is composed of numerous unique and charming regions all with their own

distinctive history, culture, cuisine, natural beauty, geography, industry and economy.

Why travel in Kyushu with us ?

 

History to establish the Company

I am Masa Kondo who is founder and managing director .

I was born and grew up in Nagasaki-prefecture where one of the

most fascinating tourist destination in Kyushu and worked in Nippon 

Steel which is the leading Steel making company in the world. and

worked in many countries such as Argentina, Brazil, USA, Finland

and South Africa.

 

During staying in overseas countries, by travelling many places and had various

exciting experiences, I became love to travel.

And also, I have discovered and realized two different aspects while comparing

Japan and oversea country. Japan is surrounded by sea and was isolated except

for some countries until the Edo period when March Perry came to Japan in 1853. 

Therefore Japanese own and unique cultures had been created. Japan has many

fascinating aspects. However on the other hand, there are many different things

from other countries. One of aspect, since Japanese people have rarely contact

foreigners until then, they have become a national character that is not good at

communicating with foreigners. Sometimes, such national character become a

problem of their comfortable stay in Japan, despite have warm welcome heart.

 

Based on those experiences, I established this Travel Company in 2008 to

assist foreigners traveling in Kyushu and make them feel more welcome.

before. The fascinations of each local region have been created by nature,

lifestyle and other cultures. In the island, there are many fascinating local regions
