Fukuoka Private Car Tours

“Katsu ist der beste Tourführer”

Katsu ist die beste Wahl für eine privat geführte Tour, da wir keine Lust darauf hatten mit vielen anderen Personen (meist Chinesen) eine Tour zu unternehmen. Eine andere Tour hat dies bestätigt, denn sobald die meisten der Personen nicht englisch spricht, macht es keinen Spaß mehr. Ab der Buchung der Tour mit Katsu, waren wir regelmäßig in Kontakt mit ihm und konnten sagen was wir gerne sehen wollen um die Tour so individuell wie möglich für uns zu machen. Katsu war schon vor uns da und erwartete uns. Er führte uns zu seinem Fahrzeug, das sehr geräumig war. Das Fahrzeug war bequem ausgestattet, mit Sitzkissen, Decken, einer kleinen Kühlbox mit Getränken und seiner bebilderten mit Text versehenen Begrüßung zum Nachlesen, sowie perfekter Musik. Die Fahrt führte uns aus der Stadt hinaus, über den Highway in Richtung Kumamoto zum Mt. Aso. Katsu führte uns zu den grünen Wiesen (Kusasenri-Grasland), und erkundigte sich bei der Parkverwaltung ob der Krater auch geöffnet ist. Nachdem die Parkverwaltung grünes Licht gab, denn das Wetter war sehr windig und mit etwas Regen versehen, ging es nach oben auf den Berg. Der Berg war sehr beeindruckend. Für das geplante Mittagsessen hatten wir uns für Rahmen entschieden. Leider war ausgerechnet an diesem Tag das Lokal geschlossen. Die Alternative war ein kleines Privathaus in dem der Besitzer in seinem Wohnzimmer gutes Essen serviert. Die Kommunikation mit Katsu in Englisch war gut, er weiß selber das er etwas mehr englisch üben muss, damit man sich besser versteht. Manchmal ist es etwas schwierig ihn zu verstehen, vor allem wenn er die Wörter im englischen nicht genau kennt, aber mit helfen und langsam sprechen hat das alles perfekt geklappt. Alles in Allem war dies eine perfekt von Katsu organisierte Reise, die wir gerne wiederholen würden. Sollten wir wieder dort sein ist Katsu für uns die erste Wahl für eine private Tour. Katsu, viele Grüße aus Deutschland, wir sehen uns in der Zukunft wieder. Silke und Oliver

Dear Silke and Oliver, /// Your feedback truly means a lot to me. /// Thank you very much for your kind and generous words. It took me a little time to reply, as I was reading your message while recalling the bits of German I learned back in university. /// As for English conversation, I sometimes tend to speak too quickly when discussing something technical for the first time. I actually remember getting a bit confused when I tried to explain why Japan’s and Germany’s climates are similar — using Köppen’s climate classification, which I learned long ago in my earth science class. /// That aside, I always take great pride in my hospitality and guest care, so please rest assured that you’ll be in good hands when we meet again. /// Warm regards from Japan, Katsuhisa /// P.S. For the benefit of future guests, I’ve included an English summary of your message below. /// Katsu is the best tour guide and the perfect choice for a private tour. We preferred not to join large groups, and after another experience, we realized how much better it is when everyone speaks English. From the moment we booked, Katsu stayed in touch and tailored the itinerary to our wishes. He was already waiting for us before the tour and guided us to his spacious, comfortable car, prepared with cushions, blankets, drinks, and great music. /// Our drive from Fukuoka to Mt. Aso through Kumamoto was scenic and smooth. Katsu checked with park staff to ensure the crater was open despite wind and rain. The green Kusasenri Grassland and volcanic scenery were breathtaking. When the ramen restaurant we planned to visit was closed, Katsu quickly found a cozy local home where we enjoyed delicious homemade food. /// His English communication was good — sometimes a bit challenging, but always clear with patience and teamwork. Overall, this was a perfectly organized and memorable tour. If we return to Japan, Katsu will be our first choice again.

“Fantastic Guide!”

We had an incredible experience with Tac as our guide in Kyushu. I wanted to do a really custom itinerary that I couldn’t find online, and after reaching out to several guides who said it wasn’t possible to do in a day, Tac was the only one who made it happen. Without me even asking, he created multiple route options based on my ideas, which made the itinerary even better. He went out of his way to meet us outside his usual area, was on time, thoughtful, and had everything printed and organized. He kept us perfectly on schedule so we could make it to our onsen in time for dinner, while still fitting everything in. What really stood out was how much he cared—he even secured hard-to-get boat tickets for us ahead of time, which would’ve been difficult for me to do from abroad. Thanks to his effort, we had one of the best days of our trip. I’d highly recommend Tac to anyone visiting Fukuoka or the Kyushu region.

Thank you so much for your review. I also had a truly enjoyable day. What made me happiest was the moment when, on our way from Takachiho to Aso, I started worrying that the clouds might ruin the beautiful panoramic view at Daikanbo — but as we got closer, the sky cleared up, and you were able to enjoy the beautiful 360-degree panorama under bright sunshine. As you mentioned, it was a long-distance drive on the first day of a three-day weekend, and I was a little nervous because any heavy traffic could have easily thrown off our schedule. But in the end, I was happy to see both of you enjoying Takachiho, including the boat ride, and we arrived at Kurokawa Onsen with time to spare — I felt such a sense of relief at that moment. Throughout the tour, I was truly touched by how calm, thoughtful, and kind both of you were, and I returned home feeling truly fulfilled and grateful for the day we spent together. It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I truly appreciate the wonderful time we shared.

“An unforgettable Yanagawa and Dazaifu tour with the wonderful Morry”

We had an amazing time exploring Yanagawa and Dazaifu with Morry! He shared so much insight and made every stop enjoyable. From the canal ride to the shrines, everything was perfectly organized and full of charm. He’s knowledgeable, very friendly, and made the experience so much more meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover the beauty and history of Fukuoka.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm sure you enjoyed the Yanagawa River cruise in good weather. And thank you for the eel lunch. Unfortunately it was raining at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, but it was good that it wasn't too hot. I look forward to guiding you again.
