Mr. Takaya was a very nice man who took us to this destination. He was very interested in getting to know us and he was delightful. We learned a lot and we had a great time. The boat ride was calming and wonderful and we got to experience a different side of Japan. He also helped us buy tickets we needed for the express bus to another location. I would 100% recommend it!

Relaxing day trip from busy Fukuoka

Shinohara-san was a delightful tour guide. We mostly spoke in Japanese as we are trying to find opportunities to practice the language. The boat tour was fun, and Shinohara-san was extremely kind in congratulating us on our recent wedding. The uni restaurant we went to after the boat tour was enormous. We tried the traditional Unagi Seiro Mushi (steamed eel over thin-sliced egg). Shinohara-san was knowledgeable about Yanagawa traditions such as Saemon being displayed during the hinamatsuri festival, and also helpful in recommending other things to do in Fukuoka and Japan. We highly recommend this day trip from Fukuoka! Thank you.
