About this experience

My tours were born out of the idea of giving people the feeling of being connected with the destination in every facet of the tour. Whether it be from the on board commentary, insights into daily Japanese life, historical and important information of each attraction, cultural experiences, Japanese food and drink tastings as well as personal opinions and facts about what it is truly life to live as an expat in this weird and wonderful country we call Japan.

It is my belief that only a private tour consisting of a small numbers of members can create this important connection that will stay with us for the rest of our lives! This tour can be customized and is available for pick ups at Airports, Hotels and Cruise Ship Terminals.

Pick ups in Nagasaki will visit attractions within as well as neighboring Saga Prefecture. Likewise, pickups in Fukuoka will feature sites within and including neighboring Saga region.

You will not be able to visit Fukuoka from Nagasaki and vice versa.

Detailed itinerary

1

All in all, I rather enjoyed this experience. This attraction is a staple on my Fukuoka walking Tours and one day Driving Tours but only on sunny days where the weather warrants a climb to the highest point in Hakata. Cloudy and rainy days will rely more on cultural attractions rather than visual ones. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

2

A very interesting and remarkable Temple that has the largest reclining Buddha in Japan. A place that will not be forgotten any time soon. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

3
Stop 3

The Granddaddy of all Shrines in Kyushu. This Shrine is dedicated to the Gods of Learning. Many cultural and spiritual experience to be had and seen here. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

4

Couples Rock is a beautiful scenic spot right on the Genkai Sea. This place has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 most scenic places and during summer when the days are at their longest, the final view of the sunset between the 2 rocks will leave a strong and lasting impression on even the least romantic people in this world. This attraction in only for Fukuoka Itineraries.

5

Arguable the No 1 most famous and delicious Ramen in Fukuoka. Ramen lovers will be throughly impressed by the rich Umami flavor of the food, the history museum and seeing the production process right in front of their eyes. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

6

Suginoya Brewery is one of the most popular stops on our Fukuoka Day Tours. Why? It's all about the tradition of the Sake Brewing process, exploring the old but esthetically pleasing building as well as the tasting experience that gets everyone fully involved in the process.
The Brewery is over 140 years old and it shows but in a traditional and authentic way. No one wants to go to a brand new building that lacks character and history, it is for this reason that a huge majority of our customers have rated this attraction as their favorite one on the day. This location is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

7

Come and see an incredible and picturesque Japanese Garden in all its glory. A beverage choice of coffee or Japanese Green Tea is included in the experience. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

The Spectacle Bridge in Isahaya is a double arch stone bridge spanning a pond at Isahaya Park, which is one of the main sightseeing places of the area. The bridge is twice the size of the famous Spectacles Bridge in Nagasaki City and A nature lovers paradise!
Location is only for Nagasaki itineraries.

9

In the sleepy town of Konagai, Nagasaki Prefecture right on the border of Saga Prefecture there are some unique Nagasaki Bus Stops that will stop you in your tracks and make you say to yourself, "Why haven't I ever seen this before?"

As you drive from one bus stop to the next, you will wonder what fruit or vegetable will come next. In some ways, when you don't see your favorite one you wonder why it hasn't been included and of course when you have passed the last one and headed into the next prefecture you will also have a slight feeling of disappointment that you won't see another one again in Japan, period!

Location is only for Nagasaki itineraries.

10

The Shimabara Castle although not the biggest Castle in Japan has a proud history and many interesting artifacts at each of its 5 floors and an amazing 360 degree panoramic view at the top. For those who don`t want to climb, there is always the option to get dressed up as a samurai. This attraction is only for Nagasaki itineraries.

Take a stroll around the Unzen Hell Ponds and feel the power of nature and the nearby Volcano as water boils and sulfur escapes into the atmosphere. This attraction is only for Nagasaki Itineraries.

12

After a long day touring Nagasaki we have refreshments and beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic options) whilst soaking our feet in hot volcanic Hot Spring water which will feel like heaven. This attraction is only for Nagasaki Itineraries.

13

You will witness the horrors of war. This attraction isn't for the faint hearted and isn't everyones cup of tea but nevertheless an important location to learn from our mistakes. This attraction is only for Nagasaki itineraries.

14

We will see all the main sights to be seen including the Peace Statue, the Epicenter Memorial as well as other interesting and surreal places of interest. This attraction is only for Nagasaki Itineraries.
