“Best Tour Ever!!”

100% worth the cost. Traveling around Hita via the busses and taxis would have been impossible for all that ai wanted to see. Kei not only customized the itinerary, he was also great company and friendly! I included Attack on Titan stops as well as local geta store and yakisoba. Every single stop was memorable and the city is so beautiful. Kei communicated very well before the trip so I knew exact schedule for the day in advance. I didn't feel rushed at all.

“Wonderful 2 days with Kei!”

We hired Kei for 2 days for the Beppu day tour and the Discover Usuki tour. Kei arranged the days so that we would be touring the areas during the less crowded times and it worked perfectly. He picked us up at the ferry terminal with some local snacks to try (delicious!) to start the day. Being a Sunday, we headed to Usuki for the first day since the Beppu Hells would likely be more crowded. It was so quiet and peaceful walking through the old Samurai town. It was quite fascinating and beautiful. Highly recommend this tour to immerse yourself in an area where it feels like going back in time in Japan. Upon our request, Kei arranged for us to have a fugu meal at a local restaurant. One bucket list item completed! He then drove us to see the carved Buddhas, then monkey mountain. Both stops were well worth the visit! Kei was very informative and considerate to make sure we were enjoying our tour. The next day we went to see highlights of the Beppu Hell pools. He had more local snacks for us to try…Yummm! Another fantastic day seeing three of the pools. We also had a walking tour of the back streets of Beppu and leaned how all the geothermal activity was being used. Very interesting…you had the option of even steaming your feet! We asked to eat udon for lunch and we stopped at a delicious udon place, that even my picky raised-in-Japan mother loved. Afterwards, we went up to a fantastic view of Beppu that tourists are not likely to see. And with some extra time, my boyfriend wanted to buy tools and Kei was able accommodate us. Kei had been communicating with me before the trip to ensure the tour was catered to our interests. The biggest concern was that my mother was in a wheelchair. He made sure that everywhere we went, it was wheelchair accessible. He had a little stool for her to help her step into the vehicle too. That was perfect. Thank you Kei for a wonderful time!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! I am thrilled that you and your family enjoyed the 2-day Beppu and Usuki tour. It was my pleasure to arrange the fugu meal and ensure that every location was perfectly wheelchair-accessible for your mother—her comfort was my top priority. Hearing that you loved the local snacks and felt like you were "going back in time" in Usuki truly makes my day. That is the exact "Immersion" experience I always hope to share! Thank you again for choosing me. It was a joy to guide you, and I hope to see you again in Kyushu!
