I had a great trip thanks to the guide Hwaya! I liked the friendly and detailed explanation! Personally, I liked Beppu better than Yufuin.

I've been to Fukuoka countless times, but this was my first time going to Yufu on a tour. Everything was really good. Guide Hye-sook Kang was also very kind and took care of everything for me! I want to see you again next time

A very high-quality yukata rental service, and the staff are patient enough to help with matching and dressing. The yukata is of good quality and you won’t feel too hot in summer

The Kyushu National Museum is near Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. There is a connecting passage between them. The first floor of the museum is free to visit, and the exhibition hall on the fourth floor is charged. There are many exhibits, so it will take about one or two hours to appreciate them slowly.
