What our Customer have to say
Hi Takako san,
Thank you very much for all the arrangement that made our recent tour and stay in Kyushu
so enjoyable and memorable.
Would like to take this opportunity to thanks our guide, Junko san and our driver, Kazo san
who is a retired 7 stars JR train driver. Junko san had done a commendable job and Kazo san
with his excellent driving skill had ensured we arrived at each of the destination comfortably
and safely. Our 3 ‘little monsters’ (my grandchildren) enjoyed the interaction and accompany
of Junko san and Kazo san throughout the journey.
Junko san was our great time-keeper and constantly liaised with the restaurants to ensure
our delicious lunches were ready for us to enjoy on arrival. She and Kazo san also
recommended a few great eating outlets for us to enjoy our lunch. Although time was running
late, Kazo san went the extra mile to drive to us the southern most point of Satsuma peninsula
for us to enjoy the sunset view before heading to the hotel. We feel blessed and grateful.
Once again thank you for helping us in organising this tour and allowed us to have a wonderful
family time. Will contact you when we plan to visit Kyushu again to experience different seasons
of the year.

What our Customer have to say
Hi Mrs Takako, Mr Masa Kondo and team
I want to thank you all for the wonderful trip planned again.
I would like to leave a testimonial for your team and for the driver Mr Tasuke Sekimoto.
My aged parent and I went on a week long trip in Kyushu planned by Japan Kyushu Tourist,
including Nagasaki, Shimabara, Hitoyoshi, Ibusuki and Kagoshima. This is my second year
engaging this tour agency and this tour guide as I was very satisfied with them last year.
The tour was planned with great care by the team at Japan Kyushu Tourist and they were
very responsive and attentive to my requests via email. I had asked for Western style hotel
rooms to accomodate my parent and these were dutifully arranged. I would like to commend
the tour guide/ driver Mr Tasuke Sekimoto for going above and beyond at his job. He was
able to adjust the itinerary to suit our preferences, bring us to eat the most delicious of
Japanese foods and also make arrangements in advance. He was always on the ball,
attentive and so hardworking. He also spoke English very fluently! We were very impressed
with his service. If you are looking for a trip with ease and comfort, do not hesitate to book
a tour with Japan Kyushu Tourist and Mr Tasuke Sekimoto.

What our Customer have to say
Dear Takako & Masa-san,
Yes, we have all returned home safely with overflowing suitcases & added body weight!
We definitely enjoyed our trip even though some of us had to work very hard to conquer the
steps up & down especially for the Udo Shrine & Mt Tsurumi. These are our own physical limitations.
Kyushu is a beautiful island with the mountains, volcanoes, calderas, gorges, hot springs and lush
greenery everywhere (some autumnal colors too).
Our guide, Fumiko worked very closely with the bus driver, Sato to plan for suitable rest stops on the
longer drives & we appreciate their thoughtfulness. Sato was a very safe and careful driver and we
appreciate his skillfulness and care. Fumiko is tirelessly making sure all the arrangements for our
next stops are in order and if there is problem she tries very positively to overcome the difficulty.
She talked to every shuttle bus driver/taxi driver at the base of Takachiho Gorge to try and get us a
ride up to the bus park. Everyone said no until one driver said ok as his customers were a no show!
She is someone you can depend on and she is very fit to climb everywhere so effortlessly.
As customers, we are generally delighted as your service has exceeded our expectations.
Accommodations in Kagoshima and Beppu were excellent. Arden Hotel has its own character and
I liked it. As you can guess, those 3 hotels had outdoor onsens as well. We were treated to fireworks
at 6pm whilst in the outdoor onsen facing Sakurajima – what a nice surprise! Ibusuki Seaside Hotel was
good for our in-house black sand experience. The Kumamoto hotel was excellent for its close location
to shopping and food but we did not have much time for shopping there. Likewise Clio Court Hotel is
also located right at Hakata Station entrance – some ladies felt it was old and furniture dated but for a
short stay, most of us had no negatives as the rooms were quite large to accommodate all our big
suitcases for packing! I personally consider Clio Court Hotel much nicer than Richmond Hotel.
The food everywhere ranges from good to excellent – we managed to try almost everything on Kyushu
except those Kagoshima lobsters Fumiko mentioned as we drove away from Kagoshima!
I used to work as a Total Quality Manager (TQM sort – not the QC sort) so I have asked the ladies to
fill out a feedback questionnaire and I will summarise their feedback and send it to you possibly by
the end of next week.
A big Thank You to Hikako for patiently working all the bits and pieces of our main itinerary and my
personal side itineraries. I have given Fumiko a little bag for assorted items for both Hikako and
Masa-san – small items from Singapore. And a big Thank You to Fumiko & Sato-san too!

Hakata temple & shrine town trail, in Fukuoka-prefecture
Hakata temple and shrine town is located within walking distance of JR ]Hakata Station and
there are many Temples and Shrines where you can feel and soak up the ambience of true
traditional Japanese culture.
The history of Hakata temple and shrine town started with the dispatch of Japanese cultural and
political missions to China in the 7th century. Afterwards the area prospered as the hub of Hakata,
which at the time was the largest port trading city in Japan.
There are many valuable artefacts and monuments here, including Tochoji temple, Kushida
Shrine, Jotenji temple, Shofukuji temple as well as Engakuji temple.
It is also surprising that Hakata has little recognition for being the origin of many culinary staples
such as Udon and Soba noodles, Manju (steamed bun), Uiro (steamed cake made of rice flour),
and traditional beverages like Japanese green tea.
This important historical area is also the location of Japan’s first Zen-temple and Shingon-temple.
