What Our Tourists Say

We booked a 3 day customized Private tour or Kyushu for ourparty of 8 friends and family with Shannon and we were notdisappointed. He worked with us to put together such an awesome experience that we will never forget.We let him know what places we wanted to visit, dates of our travel, he then put an itinerary together adding so many hidden gems. We were shuttled around comfortably in a spacious van, took us to many off the beaten path locations.The local style lunches and drinks also included were sodelicious. His commentary and knowledge of the areas visited made our visit made for everlasting memories.He toured us through Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Takachiho, Kurosawa, Aso, Yufuin, and ended in Fukuoka.

Shannon is an incredible tour guide. But more importantly, he put together an amazing tour. We took two locals from Nagasaki and they both said they had never heard, nor been to, many of the things we visited. Shannon is a pro and he is extremely knowledgeable about the Japanese culture, the food, the language, and the history, and the architecture. There was some really fun parts, sad parts, thought provoking parts, and even some spiritual aspects. If you book a tour with Shannon everyone in your group is going to feel like they had their needs met. There is something for everyone. Also, Shannon will 100% go the extra mile and spend way more time with you than the tour requiresif your group needs it.

This was a fantastic tour, and we are so glad we did it. We would not have been able to see half as much if we had not had Shannon driving us around.He will make recommendations, or work with whatever places you want to go. After we got back from our vacation, Shannon even put together a video of all the things we did the whole day as a nice keepsake! That was super duper awesome, never had a guide do that before.We would totally hire and use him again in the future should we everreturn again to the area.
Esther H
Just wanted to drop a note to say a big thank you to Shannon for making our visit to Nagasaki so memorable.  He met us promptly and being a party of all Australians it was wonderful to have an Aussie show us around.  A drive to Isahaya and the Spectacle Bridge, drive to Isahaya Bay, Obama hot springs, beautiful lunch provided by his gorgeous wife and many other attractions and photo stops on the way back to our cruise ship.

Thanks again for our tour in Nagasaki to the Shimabara Peninsular.My parents especially loved the picnic lunch followed by the foot bath.The highlight of the day!It was lovely to be taken away from the more touristy areas and get to do and experience something the locals would do.

A Little About Us

We design unique, meaningful tours that leave lasting memories.

More about us

Our Philosophy
At our core, we believe in offering customized and flexible tours around Kyushu tailored for smaller groups. Unlike the big tour operators, who prioritize quantity over quality, we focus on providing rich, content-driven experiences. We understand the frustration of rigid schedules and the impersonal nature of large group tours. That's why our tours offer the flexibility to explore at your own pace, allowing you to linger at places you love and create lasting memories.

Ryokans and the Japanese Countryside: A Journey into Timeless Tranquility

There is a profound beauty in stepping away from the frantic pace of modern urban life and immersing yourself in the quiet, unhurried rhythm of rural Japan. My journey into this world began with an overnight stay at a traditional ryokan, a uniquely Japanese inn that offers much more than just a place to sleep.
