Понравилось все! Мы успели посмотреть все, что запланировали! Гид Mr. Jun замечательный! Очень рекомендую! Водопад Сакура было открытием для нас! Сами мы бы его точно не нашли. Все прошло замечательно, непринужденно и легко, не смотря на жарку погоду, так как нам был обеспечен комфортабельный автомобиль, холодные напитки

Kei was great.  We used his services in April and were very pleased, so we requested another tour in June.  He helped plan our customized 6 day tour and made suggestions based on input.  He always kept us up to date and picked us up/dropped us off at our hotels and always accompanied us to all the attractions and made sure we were comfortable and safe during the trip.  We visited Hakata, Amagase, Yufuin, and Beppu.  He took us to 9 waterfalls, shrines, historical attractions, Onsen, and mushroom farm.  He is very flexible.  On the last day, we talked about a safari nearby and changed the plan to visit the safari in place of the scheduled attraction.  During the trip, my wife became ill and his colleague took us to a clinic for an exam and a pharmacy for prescriptions.  He speaks fluent English, excellent knowledge about the attractions, flexible, and a very nice person.  Highly recommend Kyushu Immersion.

Even though our tour had to be cancelled because of the severe weather, Kei went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and doing okay. He continued checking in with us throughout the days and even gave us helpful advice on how we might still visit the museums by taxi once the weather improved. We really appreciated his kindness, communication, and genuine concern for us. Although we were disappointed that the tour could not happen, Kei’s support made a stressful situation much easier. We would absolutely book with him again when we return to Hita.

We had an excellent tour from Kei!  We really loved going to some of the sights and experiences outside of the major tourist areas in Oita - we had the opportunity to visit the Kuju flower park, cook onsen eggs in a rustic hot spring, and visit the Kokonoe Yume Otsurihashi Bridge.  Kei was very knowledgeable and customized the tour to what we were interested in.  He even showed us a roadside rice polisher which we had heard about and thought was very cool, so he found one in Beppu and told us all about it!  Kei was beyond welcoming and pleasant and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to go beyond the typical sights and experience true local knowledge.

It was a great experience working with the Kyushu team. We are IIJ, a travel agency based in India, and we chose the Kyushu team to handle our guests' Beppu Tour arrangements. Our guests had an excellent experience and thoroughly enjoyed their trip. A special mention goes to the KEITA HIROSE & driver Mr. Jun Matsuo, who was extremely helpful and assisted our guests very well during the trip. We truly appreciate the outstanding service provided by the Kyushu team and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Everything was perfect and exactly as advertised, with no surprises at all. The guide was especially kind and caring. I highly recommend the tour about Attack on Titan. That's amazing for fans. I honestly don’t see how I could have visited these places without him. Thank you so much for everything!”

Onta Pottery Village-I feel extremely lucky to have found Keita.  His knowledge of Hita and the surrounding area is phenomenal.  My husband and I experienced a truly personal tour of this special village.  The potters are considered a part of Japan’s Important National Intangible Cultural Property.  Keita also arranged to have an artist accompany us for this tour as he was very familiar with the village and its residents. My father visited this same village over 20 years ago and  I was able to meet one of the same potters that my father met over 20 years ago and son of another potter.  We also traveled to a stunning gorge in a surrounding area.  Japan has such a wealth of artists in every medium.  If you want to witness first hand the beauty of Japan, I highly recommend you go with Keita.

Our private tour with Kyushu Immersion was the undisputed highlight of our time in Oita. If you want a day trip that perfectly blends natural wonders, local culture, and incredible food, this is the way to do it. 🌋 The Spectacular "Hells" We spent the morning exploring the famous Jigoku, and seeing the contrast between them was stunning. The vibrant cobalt of the "Blue Hell" (Umi Jigoku), the striking rust-red of the "Blood Pond Hell" (Chinoike Jigoku), and the bubbling, mesmerizing mud of the "Grey Hell" (Oniyama/Onishi-Bozu Jigoku) were all incredible photo opportunities. Our guide provided fantastic context that made these geological wonders even more fascinating. 🏮 Authentic Backstreet Wandering One of our favorite parts of the day was stepping off the main tourist path. We walked the backstreets of Kannawa, where steam literally rises from the gutters and cracks in the pavement. It felt like stepping back in time, and we loved seeing how the locals have lived alongside this geothermal energy for centuries. 🍱 The Ultimate Steamed Lunch For lunch, we experienced Jigokumushi (Hell Steaming). There is something so satisfying about cooking fresh seafood and vegetables using nothing but the earth’s natural steam. It was healthy, delicious, and a truly interactive way to eat that we’ll never forget. 🐒 Wildlife at Monkey Mountain We capped off the day with a visit to Takasakiyama Monkey Park (Monkey Mountain). Standing just inches away from hundreds of wild Japanese macaques was an adrenaline rush! Watching the social hierarchies and the babies playing was the perfect way to end our outdoor adventure. The Verdict Kyushu Immersion handled every detail with professional ease. They knew exactly how to pace the day so we saw the big sights but also felt the "soul" of the city in those quiet backstreets. If you're in Beppu, don't miss the chance to see it through their eyes!

We enjoyed a wonderful day touring Beppu and Kitsuki with Kyushu Immersion Tours! We emailed several times with Kei in advance of our trip to outline our interests and desires. He was very creative and flexible to create a unique and custom itinerary for us. This allowed us to experience much more than was possible with a normal cruise excursion. Our private, personalized tour also allowed us to visit places where tour buses cannot go. Our personal tour guide, Ayu, was wonderful!  She provided her own local flavor to our tour as we visited little known places in her home town. We stopped at several different places to try a variety of local food. She also introduced us to the local Kabosu fruit which we loved! Ayu was considerate of our needs during the day and was considerate to accommodate our schedule and wishes. Kei went out of his way to come and greet us at the end of our day once he had finished his own tour. We loved our time with Ayu and highly recommend her, Kei, and the entire Kyushu Immersion team
