“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.
“Kyoto and Nara day tour”
Ms Ana is a very professional Guide. She is awesome with all the arrangement, information, and helpful. Great job.
“Nice Guy, Decent experience”
Ed was great at communication and booking. He was flexible as our plans changed a bit a and we made a few changes to our day including meeting location and time, and Ed just worked with it. He took us to some great local eats and we had a great experience. One location was a local ramen shop and another a local coffee house. We didn't give 5 stars as Ed wasn't a take charge type and we spent a bit of time just discussing what to do next. I think that might be because our timing and the location changed so Ed wasn't really prepared for all that. I think you will have a great time either way! Enjoy
