The Tsunoshima Bridge is really beautiful, but it's a pity that it's too far away. It's very troublesome to not have a car or a dedicated bus in Japan. Fortunately, there is a one-day tour group. The attractions are arranged very reasonably, not too tiring, and the scenery is also beautiful! Karato Market is delicious! Praise the tour guide Sun Nan, very enthusiastic and detailed!

The itinerary was smooth and it was more convenient to go with a group than to go on your own. It is worth recommending. The tour guide Sun Sheng was attentive, helpful and explained clearly. At the end of the trip, he also provided the group members with information on Fukuoka attractions and food recommendations. He was very professional👍

The tour guide Emily can speak Mandarin, English and Japanese, so communication is definitely not a problem. She will also give a brief introduction to each scenic spot in various languages. Although the schedule is a bit rushed and there is not much time to stay at each scenic spot, it is enough time to take photos. There happened to be a 20% discount when I made the reservation, which is very cost-effective.

I was worried that the Chinese guide might not be able to translate, but I could see that he was trying hard to communicate with the translator. It was a pity that the explanations were a bit lacking at each place we went to, but fortunately the weather was good, so I had a pleasant tour. They told me to gather at the parking lot at Karato Market, but there were several parking lots, so I hope they will explain that in detail later.
