Kyushu in Bloom: the Beauty of Springtime

“Hi, Nellie and I really enjoyed the tour! Everything worked out to our favour! The planning for what we do or see was wonderful! Soyo and driver did a great job! Thank you so much! Cherry blossoms was so beautiful that we didn't get to take a nap in the bus!”

“Many good points: the group is just right. We had an international group of 6 countries, and the pace of the daily tour programs is well planned. Give thumbs up for the varied accommodation — very comfortable and relaxing stay. Started and ended in Tenjin is great!”

“We have enjoyed your tour. The itinerary was well organised and included spectacular Sakura viewing places which we as foreign tourists would not know. All the meals were of a high standard, and the arranged private dining rooms or dining areas are particularly appreciated.”

“We enjoyed the Sakura Tour very much and can't say enough good things about our tour guide. The timing was perfect for us to fully enjoy the cherry blossoms and the meals were stunning.”

“Jimmy and I had an amazing time and experience!! Every experience was so unique and special that it's hard to say which I enjoyed most! Indeed, the hotel we stayed in at the end was fabulous and we ended with a bang!! Kudos to Kyushu Journeys for planning such an amazing itinerary and special experiences!! We are also thankful for meeting everyone on the tour from different parts of the world and we could all get along nicely and shared many conversations and laughter together!”

“The food was exquisite, and we did manage to see cherry trees in bloom. I liked the small group and not having to deal with too many crowds. I had a wonderful time and everything was well thought out and planned. I am telling my friends about Kyushu Journeys and I would like to do another tour with you sometime, maybe the Autumn one.”

“The food was delicious through and through and varied. The dinner on day 3 in Shimabara was a special highlight, with the chef and his mother coming out to greet us at the end. I like how the hotels got better towards the end, we really ended the tour on a high note. The pace of the tour was well balanced, we got to see many things during the day, didn't feel rushed on visits and still had time to unwind in the evening.”

“What to say about our trip to Kyushu. It was an unforgettable experience, informative and enjoyable also. The places we stayed were excellent, my favourite being the lodge in the trees at Ureshino. Everything there is quiet and beautiful. I loved all the food experiences. We had some amazing meals in lovely settings. The size of the tour was just right. You can interact with others if needed or be on your own if that's what you need. The places we went to in Kyushu were also interesting and varied.”

“Thank you for a very memorable holiday in Fukuoka. There were so many Sakuras everywhere.”

“I was attracted to this tour because it visited some less visited spots on Kyushu. The tour delivered. I liked the slower pace and the places we visited had more Japanese visitors than overseas tourists. Cherry trees were found in all stages of bloom and there were many many more than I expected. Particularly liked the Fukuoka festival around the castle ruins. Good balance of guided and free time. Plenty of time to enjoy onsen. Keeping the same bus throughout the trip was very convenient — especially the time I forgot my bag on it.”
