Takakicho Gorge was very beautiful but it was a strenuous walk, especially on a hot and muggy day. The guide Kevin was exceptional and should be commended for excellent service.
Excellent Tour

The scenery was amazing. It took moderate amount of effort to climb up and down the stone steps to get to the Gorge, but it is worth the effort. The guide (Kevin) was very good and entertaining.
Great gorge and train ride.

Contrary to other reviews. I think its important you show up at 730am a lt Lawson as there are about 100 people easy looking for flags and tour guides. There are many similar flags and its easy to lose your guide. Overall was a great experience as YANG knows her stuff and airdropped a list of Fukuoka places to eat and shop. A lot of walking and a Ztip, get a taxi at 690Y up the gorge unless u want to walk up like 15 stories on a slope and be exhausted for the rest of the trip.
