“Interesting day”
Fukuoka was towards the end of our cruise in Japan and we had been to a number of castles, temples and shrines, we opted to do something different. So we took the train for an hour to go on a boat ride around the moat of a castle. Nice and relaxing, but not worth the 2 hour (roundtrip) train ride. The eel lunch was nice. On the way back, we stopped at the Sukura festival which was a good choice. The choice of stops was our choice. Tadashi was very nice and helpful. We would have been better off staying in Fukuoka.
“Dazaifu was beautiful!”
Tadashi was a fantastic guide in Fukuoka and invaluable for our trip to Japan. Very considerate and good English. He helped us with our rail passes, then we took a trip for some incredibly tasty ramen and up to Dazaifu to learn about this shrine. We then went to the national museum, and even managed to see a little sakura. He then went above and beyond to find us an izakaya. Throughout the day he took us on subway, buses and trains - great to learn how to use these too.

(9 reviews)Hi Peter-san Ohayou gozaimasu! Thank you for your excellent review.. I'm happy to hear that you and your father enjoyed your stay in Fukuoka. I learned that British people don't use umbrellas even when it's just a little rain . Lastly, my wife loves that jam and tells me that she doesn't use it until a daughter family living in Nagoya returns to my house at summer vacation. Thank you so much.. I hope you and your wonderful father will enjoy the beautiful Sakura in Kyoto and Tokyo. Please come back to Fukuoka again someday.! Tadashi
