10-Day Kyushu Family Tour for (Singapore Guests)

 

What our Guests have to say

We would like to express our utmost gratitude and appreciation for

the thoughtful itinerary and arrangements for our group by

Japan Kyushu Tourist and Takako-san 🙂

This was a family trip for the parents as they have not had a vacation

2015 til the end of the pandemic. I found Japan Kyushu Tourist on

the Internet while looking for options as our tour of Kyushu with

JTB Sg office  had to be cancelled due to insufficient participants. 

The process of engaging with Japan Kyushu Tourist was very personal

and smooth, I was asked if I had any themes, location or activity wish

lists in mind to visit. I had very simple wants and highlighted my mom’s 

vegetarian meal needs, a couple of activities like fruit picking,

and a request for 1.5days free and easy in FUK before we departed,

also I stated that we are a chill group who didn’t need a “marathon

itinerary” that requires us to wake up super early

everyday and cover miles in a bus to cover everything, just good

food and some sightseeing peppered with own time to do shopping

will be good. 

 

Takako-san got the above description down pat, the itinerary’s pace

was exactly what worked for us. We would check out by 9am after

a hearty hotel breakfast each morning and reach a point of interest

1.5-2hrs away in a new city each day, 2-3 places of interest with

even up to 2hrs time per place. The English speaking driver,

Mr Mark Monden, assigned to our group was always looking out

for our interest too. When we couldn’t see Mt. Aso due to bad weather,

he researched on a nearby children’s petting zoo with cute activities

where we could visit.

Admission fee was not included and an additional cost to us but

we were very appreciative of the effort and thought especially when

we noted other bigger tour groups’ participants were just

hanging around the museum area because they were just placed

there. 🤣 Sure we did not have a tour guide attached to us unlike

if we followed a big tour group like JTB but our driver Mark-san was

so considerate and always told us how much time we spend at each

place was up to us. 🥰 When it was raining at the fish market, 

Mark-san told us we could even bring our purchases to eat inside

the van if we liked and he always found a place close to wait patiently

in the van for us at each location, just in case we needed him at any time.

Little things like that felt big and I keep feeling grateful that I found

Japan Kyushu Tourist. 

 

Takako-san and Masa-san were also always super prompt to respond.

(Of course for fellow vacation planners, please be professional even

though it’s vacation planning and reciprocate with punctuality on 

timelines and communication 🤪) . 

I actually didn’t expect Japan to be so very crowded with tourists now

as I wasn’t following the news weeks before due to work. But the entire

itinerary was so well organized we weren’t impacted. We checked

ourselves in at hotel receptions with our passports citing “Japan

Kyushu Tourist” (tip to keep the Katakana wording of that on hand too,

as some places the hotel staff may not be too proficient in English),

the accommodations arranged were super comfortable.

best meal was the dinner at hotel on our first night in Harazuru, parents

were gushing throughout the meal! Plus the beautiful onsen!!

All the other hotels with onsens, the breakfast spreads were yum🤤.

Whenever in the city area, we were placed in hotels that

are conveniently located near main train stations with malls.

The entire trip was a perfect balance of sightseeing and then personal

time for shopping each evening after 5pm!!

It’s also the perfect balance between a self planned vacation and the

hectic itinerary of a tour group, 

I Loved that we were more in control of our time even with a planned

itinerary. 

 

We appreciate the beauty of Kyushu so much now. My sister and

I had a chat and we think should return  to Japan in future, it will

be back to this region via Fukuoka rather than Tokyo, where the

people are warmer and more receptive of tourists especially since

the crowding started.

8-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

 

What our Guests have to say

Hi Mrs Takako, Mr Masa Kondo and team

I want to thank you all for the wonderful trip planned again.

I would like to leave a testimonial for your team and for the

driver Mr Tasuke Sekimoto.

My aged parent and I went on a week long trip in Kyushu

planned by Japan Kyushu Tourist, including Nagasaki, Shimabara,

Hitoyoshi, Ibusuki and Kagoshima. This is my second year

engaging this tour agency and this tour guide as I was very

satisfied with them last year. The tour was planned with great care

by the team at Japan Kyushu Tourist and they were

very responsive and attentive to my requests via email. I had asked

for Western style hotel rooms to accomodate my parent and these

were dutifully arranged. I would like to commend the tour guide/

driver Mr Tasuke Sekimoto for going above and beyond at his job.

He was able to adjust the itinerary to suit our preferences, bring us

to eat the most delicious of Japanese foods and also make

arrangements in advance. He was always on the ball,

attentive and so hardworking. He also spoke English very fluently!

We were very impressed with his service. If you are looking for a

trip with ease and comfort, do not hesitate to book a tour with

Japan Kyushu Tourist and Mr Tasuke Sekimoto.

appreciated the change in hotels, they were all very good. 

I will miss the Japanese baths very much!

 


 

10-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

We have reached home safe and sound.  We will like to express our

Customer Reviews of Tour Guides

Appreciate all the arrangements by your company.

 


 

8-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Malaysian Guests)

Grateful for all your arrangement.

Thank you very much for your arrangements; everyone had a great time and

I hope we can cooperate again for the future.

 


 

12-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Australian Guests) 

The group have fabulous times in japan, we entirely enjoyed it. We have just a good safely

driver with patience and experience tour guide Fumiko. 

Thank you.

I just want to express my delight to have Fumiko-san guide us on our  recent trip of Kyushu.

She was most attentive, helpful, well informed and have very pleasant kindness.

My husband Peter was in need of wheelchair and together both she and Kubota-san (driver)

were most helpful through our to ease our tour.

Please pass on our appreciation to both of them. Many thanks.

 


 

5-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Singapore Guests) 

We had an excellent trip and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Fumiko was great, she was friendly and informative and got along well with us.

 And special mention must go to our driver, who was not only punctual and careful,

but also took great efforts to make sure everyone safe and comfortable.

We look forward to returning soon.

 


 

9-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

The group had disbanded. 2 couples flew back at the end of the tour, 1 continued touring

in Kyoto and my wife and I are in Tokyo. 

Thank you for your help with the Kyushu tour. It was very well organised. The group was

impressed with the program and with the support from Hori San and Miki. 

The hotels were well chosen and the 3 Japanese Inn were superb in both the Onsen and

meals. Location of hotels were also very good for us to explore and shop in the evenings.

Everyone really enjoyed the tour. Definitely will recommend your company to anyone

who wants to go to Kyushu.

 


 

12-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

Thank you very much for all the arrangement that made our recent tour and stay in Kyushu

so enjoyable and memorable.

Would like to take this opportunity to thanks our guide, Junko san and our driver, Kazo san

who is a retired 7 stars JR train driver. Junko san had done a commendable job and Kazo san

with his excellent driving skill had ensured we arrived at each of the destination comfortably

and safely. Our 3 ‘little monsters’ (my grandchildren) enjoyed the interaction and accompany

of Junko san and Kazo san throughout the journey.

Junko san was our great time-keeper and constantly liaised with the restaurants to ensure

our delicious lunches were ready for us to enjoy on arrival. She and Kazo san also

recommended a few great eating outlets for us to enjoy our lunch. Although time was running

late, Kazo san went the extra mile to drive to us the southern most point of Satsuma peninsula

for us to enjoy the sunset view before heading to the hotel. We feel blessed and grateful.

Once again thank you for helping us in organising this tour and allowed us to have a wonderful

family time. Will contact you when we plan to visit Kyushu again to experience different seasons

of the year.

 


 

10-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

We would greatly appreciate it if you could convey our heartfelt thanks to the tour guide

and driver. Their patience, kindness, and care throughout the trip made our experience

truly exceptional.

 


 

11-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Singapore Guests) 

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!

 


 

8-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour (Bruneian Guests) 

Thank you for all the good arrangements. The hotels and food were outstanding.

Even the special meal requests were catered for.

Coaches and all services were punctual. We had a very resourceful guide and

Shuji San has shared with us a wealth of information.

Be assured we will contact you again for next year trip.

 


 

6-Day Kyushu Golf Tour (Singapore Guests)

Thank you very much for the arrangement, I believe most of us is very happy,

we thank you for assisting Shuji san our guide. He is fantastic.

 


 

10-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour (Singapore Guests) 

Thank you for checking in. Thanks to you and Masa san for all the arrangements made.

We have enjoyed yourselves. Wished it could have been longer so that we can see more

and learn more, especially on the Hidden Christians in Nagasaki.

 


 

6-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour (Canadian Guests)

Thank you very much for all your arrangements of our tour.

Everyone appreciates the works of the tour guide, the helper and the driver.

 


 

7-Day Kyushu Golf Tour (Singapore Guests) 

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. 

 


 

10-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour (Singapore Guests) 

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.

 


 

11-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Malaysian Guests) 

We enjoyed very much. Fumiko san and sato San are given us great joy.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused during our tour.

Thank you Masa Kondo San for me. We appreciated what your company

has provided us. Surely will recommend friends to use your service in future.

 


 

8-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Malaysian Guests) 

The trip was a truly well-organized one,

and the tour guide Mr Tsunoda is very helpful and he has made our trip ever

more memorable.   The bus driver Mr Hori was also very helpful and patient. 

He drives very safely and we are all very comfortable with his driving.    

Please extend our sincere appreciation to the both of them.

Also we would like to thank you and Hinami san for all the support and

organizing the trip.

Please find attached some photos for remembrance.   You are free to use them

for any promotion material, if you like.

Thanks and we will definitely be in touch again should we want to visit Kyushu

again in the future.  

 


 

8-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour for (Malaysian Guests) 

We would like to express our appreciation to Mr Masa and yourself for masterfully

organizing the ground tour for us. We saw the sites where the Christians and

Hidden Christians were persecuted, the monastery and church established by

St Kolbe when he was in Nagasaki in 1930 to 1936, and Nyokodo, the small hut

where Dr Takashi Nagai lived after the war; as well as other sites too numerous

to mention. All the sites which we visited had their own story to tell and we were

very moved, touched and enriched by the experience. Thanks for arranging the

accommodation which included a ryokan with built-in onsen, and fabulous kaiseki

dinners. We enjoyed staying at these establishments. Mr Taniguichi, our driver

was a great companion, giving insight to the places we visited, driving us safely

to all the destinations, being our translator and giving us wonderful suggestions

for lunch and dinner venues. 

Many thanks and best regards,

 


 

6-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Singapore Guests)

The group is very impressed with the quality of hotel , food and sightseeing

arrangements made for us so far.

We thoroughly enjoyed day by day and tonight , 29/10 at this special Hotel

was outstanding!  We had so much food for dinner and really had a great time .

Wish we could stay for one more night.

Our guide was extremely attentive and helpful during these few days and I will

definitely recommend Singaporean to take up your tour in the near future.

We will be returning to Hakata tomorrow and thereafter for Kyoto.

Looking forward to seeing you in Singapore.

 


 

2-Day Kyushu Private Tour for USA & Philippine Travelers 

In behalf of all my friends, I would like to thank you for

a wonderful and memorable  2-day experience of Nagasaki and Yanagawa.  

Thank you for providing great guide, Mr Shuji  and a very good driver. 

 


 

8-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Malaysian Guests)

Thank you very much for your arrangement.

Everyone enjoyed the trip & food.

I still have some friends who are interest to visit Kyushu, so once they confirm,

I’ll contact you again.

Thank you very much for your company’s services during our trip. We very much

enjoyed the services provided by both drivers and we commend them on their

excellent recommendations and service.

We would be happy to recommend your company to our friends and will definitely

reach out again the next time we need a driver in Japan / Kyushu. 

 


 

13-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Australian Guests) 

Big thank you for making our trip pleasantly enjoyable.

We’ve ride, cruised & walked through beautiful parts of your Island, and hope to come

back to see other areas of scenic Kyushu. Please extend our thanks to Masa as well.

We were well-looked after despite some hiccups but all were addressed quickly and

smoothly. Thank you, hope to visit again.

 


 

12-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Australian Guests) 

The group have fabulous times in japan, we entirely enjoyed it. We have just a good safely

driver with patience and experience tour guide Fumiko. 

Thank you.

I just want to express my delight to have Fumiko-san guide us on our  recent trip of Kyushu.

She was most attentive, helpful, well informed and have very pleasant kindness.

My husband Peter was in need of wheelchair and together both she and Kubota-san (driver)

were most helpful through our to ease our tour.

Please pass on our appreciation to both of them. Many thanks

 


 

9-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

Thank you for your help with the Kyushu tour. It was very well organised. The group was

impressed with the program and with the support from Hori San and Miki. 

The hotels were well chosen and the 3 Japanese Inn were superb in both the Onsen and

meals. Location of hotels were also very good for us to explore and shop in the evenings.

Everyone really enjoyed the tour. Definitely will recommend your company to anyone

who wants to go to Kyushu.

 


 

8-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

I want to let you knw how happy we are with the arrangement and selection of hotels. 

We are also very happy with the services of Sekimoto-san.  He proactively suggested us

to rearrange our agenda based on weather of the week.  With his guidance, we are able

to visit the most important sightseeing spots during a wonderful and sunning days. 

We are also able to take really beautiful photos who will be great memory of the family. 

He is very flexible, helpful and friendly. 

Thanks for recommending Sekimoto-san to us.  We will share our great experiences

with your agency to our Singapore friends.

 


 

9-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of Kyushu arranged with your organisation.

It was at a relaxed pace and we got to see many significant and magnificent places

in Kyushu.

I must add that the English speaking driver you arranged for us, Mr Mark Monden

provided us with excellent services – driving and guidance.

We will certainly contact your organisation for any future trips in Kyushu.

 


 

12-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

Thank you very much for all the arrangement that made our recent tour and stay in Kyushu

so enjoyable and memorable.

Would like to take this opportunity to thanks our guide, Junko san and our driver, Kazo san

who is a retired 7 stars JR train driver. Junko san had done a commendable job and Kazo san

with his excellent driving skill had ensured we arrived at each of the destination comfortably

and safely. Our 3 ‘little monsters’ (my grandchildren) enjoyed the interaction and accompany

of Junko san and Kazo san throughout the journey.

Junko san was our great time-keeper and constantly liaised with the restaurants to ensure

our delicious lunches were ready for us to enjoy on arrival. She and Kazo san also

recommended a few great eating outlets for us to enjoy our lunch. Although time was running

late, Kazo san went the extra mile to drive to us the southern most point of Satsuma peninsula

for us to enjoy the sunset view before heading to the hotel. We feel blessed and grateful.

Once again thank you for helping us in organising this tour and allowed us to have a wonderful

family time. Will contact you when we plan to visit Kyushu again to experience different seasons

of the year.

 


 

8-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests)

I want to thank you all for the wonderful trip planned again.

I would like to leave a testimonial for your team and for the driver Mr Tasuke Sekimoto.

My aged parent and I went on a week long trip in Kyushu planned by Japan Kyushu Tourist, 

including Nagasaki, Shimabara, Hitoyoshi, Ibusuki and Kagoshima. This is my second year

engaging this tour agency and this tour guide as I was very satisfied with them last year.

The tour was planned with great care by the team at Japan Kyushu Tourist and they were

very responsive and attentive to my requests via email. I had asked for Western style hotel

rooms to accomodate my parent and these were dutifully arranged. I would like to commend

the tour guide/ driver Mr Tasuke Sekimoto for going above and beyond at his job. He was

able to adjust the itinerary to suit our preferences, bring us to eat the most delicious of

Japanese foods and also make arrangements in advance. He was always on the ball,

attentive and so hardworking. He also spoke English very fluently! We were very impressed

with his service. If you are looking for a trip with ease and comfort, do not hesitate to book

a tour with Japan Kyushu Tourist and Mr Tasuke Sekimoto.

 


 

11-Day Kyushu Private Tour (Singapore Guests)

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!

 


 

8-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour (Bruneian Guests) 

Thank you for all the good arrangements. The hotels and food were outstanding.

Even the special meal requests were catered for.

Coaches and all services were punctual. We had a very resourceful guide and

Shuji San has shared with us a wealth of information.

Be assured we will contact you again for next year trip.

 


 

10-Day Kyushu Family Tour (Singapore Guests) 

We would like to express our utmost gratitude and appreciation for the thoughtful itinerary and

arrangements for our group by Japan Kyushu Tourist and Takako-san 🙂

 This was a family trip for the parents as they have not had a vacation 2015 til the end of the

pandemic. I found Japan Kyushu Tourist on the Internet while looking for options as our tour

of Kyushu with JTB Sg office  had to be cancelled due to insufficient participants. 

The process of engaging with Japan Kyushu Tourist was very personal and smooth, I was

asked if I had any themes, location or activity wish lists in mind to visit. I had very simple

wants and highlighted my mom’s vegetarian meal needs, a couple of activities like fruit picking,

and a request for 1.5days free and easy in FUK before we departed, also I stated that we are

a chill group who didn’t need a “marathon itinerary” that requires us to wake up super early

everyday and cover miles in a bus to cover everything, just good food and some sightseeing

peppered with own time to do shopping will be good. 

 

Takako-san got the above description down pat, the itinerary’s pace was exactly what worked

for us. We would check out by 9am after a hearty hotel breakfast each morning and reach

a point of interest 1.5-2hrs away in a new city each day, 2-3 places of interest with even up to

2hrs time per place. The English speaking driver, Mr Mark Monden, assigned to our group was

always looking out for our interest too. When we couldn’t see Mt. Aso due to bad weather,

he researched on a nearby children’s petting zoo with cute activities where we could visit.

Admission fee was not included and an additional cost to us but we were very appreciative of

the effort and thought especially when we noted other bigger tour groups’ participants were just

hanging around the museum area because they were just placed there. 🤣 Sure we did not

have a tour guide attached to us unlike if we followed a big tour group like JTB but our driver

Mark-san was so considerate and always told us how much time we spend at each place was

up to us. 🥰 When it was raining at the fish market, Mark-san told us we could even bring our

purchases to eat inside the van if we liked and he always found a place close to wait patiently

in the van for us at each location, just in case we needed him at any time.

Little things like that felt big and I keep feeling grateful that I found Japan Kyushu Tourist. 

 

Takako-san and Masa-san were also always super prompt to respond. (Of course for fellow

vacation planners, please be professional even though it’s vacation planning and reciprocate

with punctuality on  timelines and communication 🤪) . 

I actually didn’t expect Japan to be so very crowded with tourists now as I wasn’t following the

news weeks before due to work. But the entire itinerary was so well organized we weren’t

impacted. We checked ourselves in at hotel receptions with our passports citing “Japan

Kyushu Tourist” (tip to keep the Katakana wording of that on hand too, as some places the

hotel staff may not be too proficient in English), the accommodations arranged were super

comfortable. Our best meal was the dinner at hotel on our first night in Harazuru, parents

were gushing throughout the meal! Plus the beautiful onsen!! All the other hotels with onsens,

the breakfast spreads were yum🤤. Whenever in the city area, we were placed in hotels that

are conveniently located near main train stations with malls. The entire trip was a perfect

balance of sightseeing and then personal time for shopping each evening after 5pm!!

It’s also the perfect balance between a self planned vacation and the hectic itinerary of a

tour group,  I Loved that we were more in control of our time even with a planned itinerary. 

 

We appreciate the beauty of Kyushu so much now. My sister and I had a chat and we think

should return  to Japan in future, it will be back to this region via Fukuoka rather than Tokyo,

where the people are warmer and more receptive of tourists especially since the crowding

started.

 


 

7-Day Kyushu Golf Tour (Singapore Guests) 

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. 

 


 

10-Day Christian Pilgrimage Tour (Singapore Guests) 

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.
