Starting from Fukuoka, embark on a journey intertwined with scenery and culture along the blue coastline of Kitakyushu. First, take a scenic drive past the [Kanmon Bridge] spanning the Kanmon Strait, feeling the magnificent momentum connecting Kyushu and Honshu. Arrive at [Karato Market], where you can choose freshly made sushi and seafood snacks in the bustling fishing port, enjoying the freshest port flavors. Then, head to [Motonosumi Shrine] in Yamaguchi Prefecture, capturing dreamlike scenery amidst the contrast of red torii gates and the azure sea. Next, explore the [Mojiko Retro Area], where retro European-style buildings and a tranquil bay reflect each other, as if time has returned to the Meiji era. Finally, take the [Sarakurayama Cable Car] to the summit to admire the "million-dollar night view," overlooking the brightly lit city of Kitakyushu. From day to night, this journey connects Kitakyushu's most captivating coastline with its most romantic night of lights. ⚠️ Travel Notice August 8th–16th is Japan's Obon holiday peak travel period.

Seating and Vehicles The itinerary is a shared group tour, and seat allocation follows the first-come, first-served principle. If you have special requests, please make a note, and we will do our best to arrange it, but the final arrangement will be based on the actual situation on site. The vehicle model will be arranged according to the number of participants and cannot be specified. For a small number of people, a driver who also serves as an attendant may be arranged, and the commentary will be relatively brief. If you need to carry luggage, please inform us in advance. If you carry luggage without authorization, the tour guide has the right to refuse boarding, and the fee will not be refunded. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the vehicle. If any damage or stains are caused, compensation must be paid according to local standards. Itinerary Adjustments and Safety Japanese law stipulates that commercial vehicles must not be driven for more than 10 hours per day. Overtime will incur additional costs (ranging from 5,000–10,000 JPY/hour). The itinerary is for reference only. Actual traffic, stopovers, and sightseeing times may be adjusted due to weather, traffic jams, facility maintenance, and other conditions. The tour guide may reasonably change or reduce attractions based on the actual situation. If cable cars, cruise ships, or other facilities are suspended due to weather or force majeure, the itinerary will be changed to visit other attractions or adjust the stopover time. If you are late, change the meeting point temporarily, or leave the group midway due to personal reasons, the fee will not be refunded. Any accidents and additional expenses incurred after leaving the group must be borne by yourself. Season and Scenery Seasonal activities such as flower viewing, autumn foliage viewing, snow scenery, and fireworks festivals are greatly affected by climate. The flowering period and peak autumn foliage season may be earlier or later. Even if the expected scenery is not met, the itinerary will still proceed as normal, and no refunds will be given. Other Notes Please arrive at the meeting point on time. No waiting for latecomers, and no joining midway. It is recommended to wear light clothing and shoes. For winter or mountain itineraries, please bring your own warm clothing. The itinerary does not include personal travel and accident insurance. It is recommended to purchase your own insurance. Outdoor activities and high-risk sports carry certain risks. Travelers are advised to register cautiously based on their health conditions. After the itinerary begins, if it is forced to be suspended due to natural disasters or force majeure, the fee will not be refunded, and travelers will also need to bear the cost of return travel or additional accommodation. During Japanese public holidays and weekend travel peaks, there are often severe traffic jams or attractions closing early. It is recommended not to book flights, Shinkansen, or dinner for that evening, and to bring your own light food and power bank.
