Northern Kyushu Day Tours
Curated day tours that combine multiple Northern Kyushu destinations into a single bookable experience. Most depart from Hakata Station in Fukuoka, and pair the must-sees (Mt. Sarakura, Karato Market, Akiyoshido, Motonosumi) with logistics handled — pickup, transport, English/Korean/Japanese support.
