Farben von Japan, Fukuoka Nokonoshima Island Park & Wagyu Grill

We had a wonderful experience during our tour of Nokonoshima Island. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. Being picked up directly from the hotel made things incredibly smooth and comfortable for our group of 20 people. The day was thoughtfully planned, with just the right balance of information and relaxation. We started with a clear and engaging explanation about Fukuoka’s layout, the island’s role in the area, and the history behind Nokonoshima Park. We even had the chance to meet the park’s owner and hear their personal story, which added a warm and human touch to the visit. The park itself was beautiful, offering a variety of activities and stunning seasonal scenery. The group services were excellent—everything flowed seamlessly, and we always felt well taken care of. To top it all off, the lunch was absolutely delicious, served in a peaceful and scenic setting. All in all, it was a rich, well-paced experience that felt both personal and professional. Highly recommended!

It was a very beautiful day. A nice bus picked us up from the hotel and we met Luis and the owner of the island's flower park. We were able to ask them many questions about the history of the island. The journeys are pleasant and the experiences within the park are authentic. It's easy to enjoy the different sea views, floral decorations and take beautiful pictures. The restaurant fills our stomachs and our eyes. It's a serene place.

Excellent tour with personal guide picking us up at the hotel, taking us to the ferry, personal pick up on the island to transport us up to the park w/guide escorting us all the way, fantastic lunch, then guided back to ferry and driven back to the hotel. Well worth the $$.

Excellent tour - one of the best I've been on! Guide Luis Matos, a New Yorker who has been living in Fukuoka for 34 years was great. Picked up right at our hotel by Luis and his wife, driven to the ferry that took us to Noko Island, then private pick up that took us up to the Park. Great lunch and tour. Included ferry ride back and then dropped off at our hotel. Travelers were Don Ching, Mindy Ching, & Marge Young - from Hawaii!

Don't miss the beauty of this island and its people! We were scheduled to go on the tour on a cold and rainy day. We hesitated a bit, but Luis, our guide, was up for it and so were we :). We are SO glad we went. The island visit is a great excursion if you want a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Fukuoka. Plus, a special add was on the ride to the ferry, Luis gave us many tips and notables about Fukuoka city. As for the island ...the gardens, the people and the food were lovely. We even had chance to meet some of the family who owns the gardens which was special. We were able to hear about the rich heritage of the island, its development and the gardens. The Japanese BBQ Lunch was yummy and a neat experience - believe me, you won't go hungry. The food was plentiful and you'll get a nice array of meats, seafood and vegetables - something for everyone. The sun peaked out after lunch which was special. Luis, thank you for a great and memorable day!
