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.

Testimonials
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 Eglish 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.
