Ise Grand Shrine, a revered Shinto site, offers a tranquil atmosphere. The intricate architecture and the solemn ambiance are truly awe-inspiring.
The Mikimoto Pearl Museum provides fascinating insights into the history and process of pearl cultivation. The stunning pearl displays are a sight to behold. We reached Futami Okitama Shrine which is famous for its "Meoto Iwa" (Wedded Rocks) while the sun was setting and the sight was amazing.
The day trip was well-planned, covering the key destinations without any major hiccups. The driver was skilled and navigated the roads with ease, even in the rain.
This day trip is perfect for independent travelers who have done their research and prefer a relaxed pace. The destinations are truly captivating, and the efficient itinerary allows for a fulfilling day. While self-guided tours offer flexibility, a brief introduction to each destination could provide valuable context and enrich the visit. I wouldn’t recommend this for those with mobility or health issues as there are extremely steep slopes to where the vehicle is parked. Do wear adequate warm clothing as the wind can be very strong at Futami Okitama Shrine.

The overall experience of the trip was good. It was not too early and could be completed earlier than other trips. It is still possible to walk back to Hakata. The tour guide is very professional, he is also the driver, and the introduction is detailed.

The scenery up to the mountains and down to the sea is beautiful and the itinerary is comfortable. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, the cruise was cancelled. This time we took a minibus with more than a dozen people. The driver was also a tour guide. The arrangements and instructions were clear and he was very attentive in introducing each scenic spot. Thank you! recommend

Although this is not my first time to Fukuoka, the pristine natural scenery in many places in Kyushu is beautiful. It is worth walking around and taking photos at each scenic spot. It is very windy during the seaside trip. The tour guide and driver are very friendly and kind, reminding everyone to keep warm. , and thank you for your hard work on the day trip👏👏👏
