For all the cat lovers out there! A small island, Ainoshima, only 20 minutes by boat from Fukuoka. Left? Right? Wherever you look, there are said to be more cats here than humans. Black cats with beautiful fur, timid cute cats and small kittens, you name it, many types live here with the locals. These cats are very friendly, if you're lucky they will come and play. But be careful not to annoy them too much! Other sites are also here, a facility received from Korea over several hundred years ago and a strange ruin piled with stones. After travelling around the island, taste the delicious seafood! A tour to embrace the flowing time, cats and nature!

When visiting Fukuoka, Dazaifu Temple is a spot not to miss. The shops lining up to the shrine are also unique and appealing. But this is not everything!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
