Tour Fukuoka or Nagasaki in safety and comfort with Private Guide

About this experience

My tours were born out of the idea of giving people the feeling of being connected with the destination in every facet of the tour. Whether it be from the on board commentary, insights into daily Japanese life, historical and important information of each attraction, cultural experiences, Japanese food and drink tastings as well as personal opinions and facts about what it is truly life to live as an expat in this weird and wonderful country we call Japan. This tour can be customized and is available for pick ups at Hotels and Cruise Ship Terminals. Pick ups in Nagasaki will visit attractions within as well as neighboring Saga Prefecture. Likewise, pickups in Fukuoka will feature sites within and including neighboring Saga region. You will not be able to visit Fukuoka from Nagasaki and vice versa.

   All in all, I rather enjoyed this experience. This attraction is a staple on my Fukuoka walking Tours and one day Driving Tours but only on sunny days where the weather warrants a climb to the highest point in Hakata. Cloudy and rainy days will rely more on cultural attractions rather than visual ones. This attraction is only for Fukuoka itineraries.

This attraction in only for Fukuoka Itineraries.

   Suginoya Brewery is one of the most popular stops on our Fukuoka Day Tours. Why? It's 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. The Brewery is over 140 years old and it shows but in a traditional and authentic way. No one wants to go to a brand new building that lacks character and history, it is for this reason that a huge majority of our customers have rated this attraction as their favorite one on the day.

   In the sleepy town of Konagai, Nagasaki Prefecture right on the border of Saga Prefecture there are some unique Nagasaki Bus Stops that will stop you in your tracks and make you say to yourself, "Why haven't I ever seen this before?" 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 favorite 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, period!
