Satisfactory watching experience. The ticket exchange location is obvious and the ticket exchange speed is fast. The location for watching the game has a good view and a good atmosphere. I will order again in the future if I have the opportunity.

trains are not the only choice traveling in Japan. Buses are also well routed and access to many tourist attractions efficiently. I used the 3-day pass and sooo happy about the experience I got. The pass covers almost buses in the region. It's sooooo convenient. I went to Beppu, Yufuin, and back to Fukuoka downtown. Also cheaper than JR pass.

I traveled with my mother and grandmother in Fukuoka. I had good memories of participating in Indigo Travel in Fukuoka, so I wanted to go on a filial trip, so I brought my mother and grandmother, and it was the best. I decided to go with Indigo Travel because it included Hita, which I wanted to visit after going to Yufuin first. ☺️☺️ My parents also told me that they had fun on the bus thanks to the guide! It rained this time, but when I got on the bus, I didn't even think about the rain because I was so busy listening to the guide's stories. The age group ranged from 5 to 70s, and I was surprised by guide Kim's humor when I saw everyone having fun while reading the story. Especially on this day, a lot of family gatherings came, and guide Kim said he would take a lot of photos, so I followed him around Yufuin Hita a lot. I took pretty photos with DSLR photos, and the guide took not only photos but also Polaroids, so I kept them well. I think I will see it every time!! The good thing about Indigo Travel is that you arrive in Yufuin around 10 o'clock, so there are no people around, so you can leisurely sightsee without waiting. I think it would be a good idea to use Indigo Travel if you want to go to a hot spring or go to a restaurant. They gave me 3 hours and 30 minutes. I think it's really nice because there's a lot to see in Yufuin. In Hita, I only go to Indigo Travel, but there are so many photo spots in the alleys and the photos come out well. It felt like I was in Kyoto, and it had a lot of charm, and I bought some soy sauce as a gift. I recently got a job and had to go straight to work, so I couldn't go on a trip with my family. So, I had to get off at Dazaifu, so I urgently asked guide Kim for a favor. So, when I received a message telling me how to take the subway and how to get to the airport, and even contacted me after the tour to ask if I had checked in successfully, I was really grateful that they cared until the very end. I think I chose Indigo Travel well when I received a message saying that my mother and guide Kim were really great. Thank you for leaving me with a great tour and good memories from my trip with my family🙇🏻 I think I will recommend it to my friends who are going to Fukuoka~!!

I made a reservation for Indigo Travel because the reviews and courses were good on Naver, and it was a really good choice! I got off at Yufuin early so I was able to eat without waiting, and it was really nice that guide Kim C gave us a map and discussed Yufuin plans for each team..🥹 It's a shame that we couldn't go to Yufudake due to the weather, but I would have stayed longer somewhere else. It was nice to be able to do it 📌 Advantage 1. We arrived in Yufuin earlier than other tours and successfully opened Yufumabushi without waiting (waiting only before opening time)! 📌Advantage 2. Guide Kim C selected the best places to visit in Yufuin, so I came without a plan, but I was able to look around successfully. I really liked Hita, but this place also had a recommended list, so I bought some delicious bean jelly and took pictures at pretty photo spots. I really liked the quiet atmosphere of Hita and there weren't many people, so I'd like to tell you to definitely go here. 📌Advantage 3. I've been to Japan a lot, but this was my first time on tour! I thought I did a good job applying for the tour after seeing guide Kim C share maps of tourist attractions and restaurants, take photos, provide a Don Quijote shopping list, and provide a restaurant reservation system after the tour. 😭😭 I went on a day tour in Europe, but there was no guide who provided this many services... It was difficult to take pictures with my group, but guide Kim C took beautiful pictures (I was really surprised by the proportions, and I took a variety of portraits and photos) Referee) Thank you so much...he even picked a photo for me! They also lent me an auxiliary battery...ㅠㅠ If you go to Hukoka, I sincerely recommend Indigo Travel guide Kim C! (I bought it with my own money, this review is 100% heartfelt..)
