Overview

Explore 3 Prefectures in Kyushu. Fukuoka, Saga and Nagasaki have many of the best historical, cultural and natural attractions in all of Japan. You will be spoilt with experiences that can only be obtained by an expat who has lived in japan for 20 years and knows all the ins and outs of sightseeing around this region.

Our tours can be customised to include specific sites but in reality there are so many attractions to enjoy that you will have to careful that we can get to them all within the 2 day period.

The tour on Day 1 will be slightly longer than on Day 2 as we need to visit more attractions. Pick up and drop off times to designated hotels can be flexible and changed on short notice.

The choice of hotel accommodation in Nagasaki will be the responsibility of the traveller to organise in advance. You may stay in Nagasaki City in one of the many western hotels or a traditional Japanese Ryokan in the Hot Spring resort of Unzen. I can provide relevant recommendations if necessary.

Activity itinerary

Day 1: Fukuoka to Nagasaki- Day 1
  • 9 stops
  • Meals: lunch
  • Accommodation: Not included
Kagamiyama Observatory
  • 15m
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 seen on a beautiful day, it is a great start to any tour.
Karatsu Castle
  • 40m
  • 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.
Shidayaki Village Museum
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Step back in time and explore a traditional Japanese Ceramic factory. It has been preserved by the local artisans to highlight the remarkable history and culture of the area.
Yutoku Inari Shrine
  • 30m
The Yutoku Shrine is one of the 4 main Inari Shrines in Japan. Marvel at its unique architecture and it's nature in a remote part of Saga Prefecture.
Oouo Shrine
  • 15m
There is this attraction in the middle of Saga Prefecture, away from any major highway and city centre that is gathering a rather lot of attention these days. It is called Oouo Shrine and a site that I have visited many times because of its uniqueness and incredible scenery it possesses. 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
  • 10m
In the sleepy town of Konagai, Nagasaki Prefecture right on the boarder 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 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, period!
Unzen Jigoku (Unzen Hell)
  • 35m
Unzen Jigoku Hells in Nagasaki is located within the Unzen Town district and is designated as a National Park. It is where you will find many wild birds and alpine plants as well as other attractive features such as frost in winter (January to February) crimson foliage in autumn (October and November) cherry blossoms in Spring (March and April) and Azaleas in summer (May and June). One can walk around the area within a reasonable amount of time (approx 30 to 40 mins), take a multitude of photos of plant and bird life around the hells area and also enjoy sulphur infused boiled eggs cooked within minutes right in front of your eyes. These eggs taste amazing and combined with just the right amount of salt for added tasting pleasure they are out of this world and will be absolutely the best boiled eggs you will ever taste in your life!
Hot Foot 105
  • 45m
The Obama Foot Bath in Nagasaki is one of the highest rated sites on Tour Nagasaki`s full day Nagasaki and Shimabara Peninsular tour. If its relaxation that you want then this is the place for you! Can you imagine just letting yourself go and releasing all that built up stress, then you have come to the right place indeed!! 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.
Inasayama Observation Deck
  • 20m
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.
Day 2: Nagasaki to Fukuoka- Day 2
  • 8 stops
  • Meals: lunch
  • Accommodation: Not included
Nagasaki Peace Park
  • 45m
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.
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
The Atomic Bomb Museum in Nagasaki is located in the park above the epicentre. It's exhibits show the overwhelming destruction caused by the bombing while also telling us the importance of world peace and the removal of weapons to protect the Earth from something like this ever happening again! It is a very sobering place and definitely not for the faint hearted as the stories, exhibits and pictures are extremely graphic. There hasn't been a time when I haven't seen someone crying out loud and or emotionally uncontrollable. This museum definitely isn't every one's cup of tea. However, it is important to remember history and not to forget about the past as this is the way we don't make the same mistakes of the past. So, in that sense the museum can be a great place to come together and never let this happen again for the benefit of mankind.
Umegae Sake Brewery
  • 30m
Every now and then in my travels around Nagasaki Prefecture you come upon a special place that instantly makes a strong and lasting impression on you. Umegae Sake Brewery is just one of these places and as a result of this positive and uplifting experience we intend to make this location a regular attraction on our full day tours.
Hasamiyakimono Park
  • 30m
Hasami town has kept its tradition of producing daily-use ceramics for over four hundred years. To date, Hasami ceramics have 13% of the domestic market share in ceramics for everyday use in Japan. The Ceramics Park, which was coordinated by the legendary ceramic designer Masahiro Mori is definitely one of the highlights of the entire region. The park is extremely well laid out, has an easy walking course and allows for many amazing photos.
Arita Sera
  • 45m
A fantastic place to explore various types of ceramics, from a multitude of shops in the famous region of Arita, the birthplace of ceramics in Japan.
Izumiyama Quarry
  • 15m
The quarry is not in operation these days but you will get a feel of its size and where the natural resources were sourced from to establish a pottery industry in Japan.
Takeo City Library
  • 45m
One of the most unique libraries that you will find anywhere in the world. Worth a stop and a chance to read a book or 2?
Dazaifu Tenmangu
  • 30m
Without a doubt the best and most popular Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture is the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine located approx 30 minutes from central Fukuoka City. The Shrine is dedicated to the God of Learning and as such is busy all through the year with many student visitors coming here to pray for upcoming success in their educational endeavours, especially during examination time at various periods during the year.
