Tour Nagasaki or Fukuoka in Privacy and Comfort.
Overview
Dream Tours Japan was born out of the idea of giving people the feeling of being connected with the destination in every facet of the tour. Whether it be from the on board commentary, insights into daily Japanese life, historical and important information of each attraction, cultural experiences, Japanese food and drink tastings as well as personal opinions and facts about what it is truly life to live as an expat in this weird and wonderful country we call Japan.
It is my belief that only a Private Tour consisting of a small numbers of members can create this important connection that will stay with us for the rest of our lives!

What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Fukuoka Tower, 2-3-26 Momochihama, Sawara-Ku, Fukuoka 814-0001 Fukuoka Prefecture
All in all, I rather enjoyed this experience. Coming down was absolutely easier than going up as I have a video of the decending portion of the trip only as evidence. This attraction is a staple on my Fukuoka Walking Tours and 1 Day Driving Tours but only on sunny days where the weather warrants a climb to the highest point in Fukuoka City. Cloudy and rainy days will rely more on Cultural attractions rather than visual ones!!

This was a wonderful full-day tour, with an English-speaking Australian who lived for 15-years in Kyushu and Japan. The posted itinerary of the Fukuoka or Nagasaki Tour was misleading because sites from both Cities were included as a continuous list in the tour description. Still, we appreciated the packed & practical itinerary going to, and coming from Nagasaki; with time to rest & recover on the way back to Fukuoka – many thanks, Shannon! We missed the chance to host an end-of-tour thank you dinner for our tour guide, Mr LeFebvre at his favorite katsu canteen but there were plenty of opportunities for eating & drinking throughout the trip.

Yes, we did the usual tourist sites, but he also gives you an enjoyable glimpse of daily life in the area, including -- weather permitting -- a tasty picnic lunch and immersing your tired traveler's feet in soothing hot springs water. An excellent day trip for cruise ship passengers or other visitors to Nagasaki and vicinity.
