Overview

For those with limited time but who want to see the best of Fukuoka and Nagasaki and everything in between, this is the tour for you! It will be a long day with approx. 6 hours of driving but the memories and experiences will be worth it, to explore the countryside of the region.

We will visit many natural attractions that will amaze you with their beauty and uniqueness. Japanese cultural attractions are also a big part of our day and you will be more connected to Japan as a result of these interactions. Only a tour like this one will allow you to see real Japan that you don't get to experience from city stays.

Finally, extra special experiences will be had that can only be achieved with a guide who has lived in Japan for many years. I hope to share these attractions with an eager clientele.

I am sure you will appreciate my passion and energy for this amazing region of Kyushu and no I don't mind you you have a small snooze along the way and or on the 2 hour return drive to Fukuoka.

Activity itinerary

Kagamiyama Observatory
  • 40m
One of the best Observation decks and lookouts in Kyushu without a doubt is Mount Kagami located in Karatsu in Saga Prefecture. It is only located approximately an hours drive from Fukuoka City and when combined with other great attractions in the area makes for a spectacular day out.
Karatsu Castle
  • 55m
  • Admission ticket included
One of the most amazing locations in all of Kyushu is without a doubt the Karatsu Castle. It is located on an island overlooking the Karatsu Bay with the Black Pine Forests of Niji no Matsubara in close proximity. Everything about this place screams Japanese! The history, the culture the architecture and of course its purpose, to crush any uprising and discontent in the ranks of its people and rival factions.
Shida-yaki Pottery Factory Museum
  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
A famous pottery region in Kyushu that still remains and now is used predominately to educate the public about the history of their works. They provide pottery classes to people of all ages to promote the cultural aspect of ceramic making.
Yutoku Inari Shrine
  • 40m
One of the 4 main Inari Shrines located in Japan. Everything about this place scream Japanese with history and culture everywhere. An amazing location that is enjoyed by all.
Sachihime Sake Brewery
  • 40m
A Sake Brewery is one of the most popular stops on our Day Tours out of Fukuoka. Why is this? Well, it all about the tradition of the Sake Brewing process, exploring the old but esthetically pleasing building as well as the tasting experience that gets everyone fully involved in the process.
Oouo Shrine
  • 20m
The Shrine has 3 Torii gates that are strategically placed from the shoreline out into the picturesque and highly productive seaweed producing Ariake Sea. At high tide all 3 gates are covered with water at various depths, whilst at low tide one can wander around and fully inspect each Torii Gate and get a feel of what a 6 metre tidal range really means from an environmental and nature point of view.
Fruits Bus Stop
  • 20m
As you drive from one bus stop to the next, you will wonder what fruit or vegetable will come next. In some ways, when you don't see your favourite one you wonder why it hasn't been included and of course when you have passed the last one and headed into the next prefecture you will also have a slight feeling of disappointment that you won't see another one again in Japan.
Unzen Jigoku (Unzen Hell)
  • 50m
The Unzen Hot Spring is located at the foot of Mt. Unzen. As a result of the nearby Volcano (Mount Fugen) it provides more than enough hot water for the many resorts an hotels in the region and support a wasteland of heat and steam. This is the place where high-temperature hot springs and steams spurt out of the ground and is called "Unzen Jigoku” (Unzen Hell) because of the sulphur content and the fact that sulphur steam is rising constantly into the air from the ground and the boiling spring water.
Hot Foot 105
  • 55m
The Obama Footpath is a place where you can come, chill out, enjoy some delicious steamed food, maybe even a alcoholic drink or two and generally feel all that pressure of daily life just float away into the atmosphere. I can't even remember when a customer, let alone a local has complained about the environment at the Obama Footpath, the only complaint that I have had is that there were too many people in attendance and not enough seats available. The solution to this scenario is too arrive earlier than the hordes.
Nagasaki Peace Park
  • 45m
Of course the normal view of the Nagasaki Peace Park main statue is a powerful one, undeniably a moving experience and packed with sorrow but at the same time hope for the future. The reverse side however holds all the above but also in addition there is a feeling of doubt that mankind and humanity can actually learn from its mistakes and not go down that narrow windy path of devastation that the nuclear arms race has headed in the past and still does to some degree in this age of the 21st century.
Inasayama Observation Deck
  • 35m
  • Admission ticket included
The Mount Inasa Nightview in Nagasaki is a unbelievable place to visit. The daytime views are in a world of there own but in relation to the nighttime view it rates rather poorly in my opinion. Words don't explain this incredible place like the way they should and this view needs to be seen to be believed. Without a doubt one of the most scenic views in all of Nagasaki and probably in all of Japan. It is a place that I try to bring every visitor and customer that comes to Nagasaki as it really brings out the highlights of everything Nagasaki has to offer in terms of beauty and nature from its scenic location to its panorama.
Fukuoka (Pass by)
The drop off will be at the hotel you are staying at in Fukuoka City however you may nominate a different location. For example, I can drop you off at Hakata Station or in Tenjin close to a dining establishment that you may want to enjoy on your return from the tour.
