Kevin is very enthusiastic and quickly finds beautiful places to shoot beautiful scenery. He understands the needs of passengers very well, speaks very good English and Chinese, and makes the journey seamless. The itinerary is great and recommended to tourists who want to take a day trip to Kitakyushu. Recommended for solo or family travel. praise

It’s really convenient to take a day trip with Klook. It takes nearly 6 hours round trip from Kumamoto, but it’s very worth it! Blue sky, green water, small bridges and light boats. It is recommended that you go to the official website to make an appointment for the boating at 2pm. On the way back to the bus station, you can also go to Takachiho Shrine to enrich your itinerary!

The tour guide, Sister Zhao, was very informative and explained each place very well. She told a lot of Japanese myths and stories, introduced local food, and helped with reservations. It was a great tour itinerary, and the pick-up and drop-off between the itineraries was on time. The beef lunch was delicious and a great experience. The shrine and Takachiho Gorge are very beautiful. Overall, this was a wonderful trip not to be missed.

Tour guide Jiang gave very detailed explanations. He also provided explanations for each scenic spot and told us where to eat and where to eat. The time was arranged just right. I hope to join his tour again if I have the opportunity.

The tour guide was very attentive in suggesting places to pay attention to in the scenic spots. It was obvious that he was a very experienced tour guide and would also let everyone rest in the car. Also, although this time there was a Canadian friend who didn’t understand Chinese well in the car, I only helped translate and the tour guide still took it out. Small gift thanks are impressive

Takachiho Falls is very beautiful. The journey is quite far, but take the train to see the view. It is quite hot, but it would be very beautiful if you come in other seasons. Kumamoto Castle is very beautiful and magnificent. The guide can speak English quite well, but speaks Chinese quite well.
