“Chizuko took us to Nanzoin temple and Dazaifu. She navigated the public transportation which allowed us to see both sites in one day. She also brought us to the Fukuoka museum at Daizaifu. While we didn’t go view the museum we got to see a spectacular building and gardens. We would never have seen that on our own.. it was an action packed day. My son 25 and I are very active. You need to have good stamina and balance to see both sites.”
