The travel distance of the car is long, so the number of sites is not so many, but you can enjoy the change of the scenery while you are traveling. You can watch not only samurai’s castle but also samurai’s weapons and samurai’s armor. As for Unzen volcano, it is a must-see place because there are less active volcanoes in the Europe and the US. You can experience the mysteries of the earth.

Awesome Fukuoka fun

Our guide Katsuhiro picked us up from the cruise terminal on time with gift in hand. Great feeling being welcomed this way. He was very accommodating for my 91 year old father and wheelchair. We enjoyed traditional sites, Takayama Vintage store ,ramen and the Hakata Canal mall. A perfect day!!! I highly recommend this guide! Thank you from the Hartners
