The Yoshinogari Historical Park is an outstanding archaeological site in Saga Prefecture. The sprawling park covers a large settlement from the Yayoi Period (300 BC to 300 AD) where dozens of pit dwellings, elevated store houses and over 2000 tombs were unearthed. It is the largest and most important Yayoi Period site in Japan, and the best place to learn about this era of Japanese history.
Arita and Imari are two towns in western Saga Prefecture that are known for pottery. They were the first place in Japan where porcelain was produced about 400 years ago after kaolin - the mineral essential to making porcelain - had been found at a local mountain and craftsmen with the necessary skills had been brought from Korea into the country.
The tour will be conducted mainly by English materials such as a brochure and a pamphlet.

We requested a customised day tour (8 hours) because we wanted to see some of the One Piece statues, which are hard to reach with public transport. Our itinerary was: pick up at our Hotel in Kumamoto -> Sanji -> Nami -> Robin -> Mount Aso sightseeing -> Franky -> Shirakawa spring -> a different hotel (hot spring in the Mount Aso region). The booking experience was very pleasant, everything was communicated in English and we always got fast replies. Our driver, Mr. Otsuka, did not speak English, but we knew that in advance and it was no problem at all, he is very friendly. We had a lunch break after seeing Mount Aso and we arrived at our hotel basically after exactly 8 hours. So everything worked out exactly as we wanted it and we highly recommend booking a tour with Tr taxi R.
Thank you for recommending us in your review! We are glad to know that you enjoyed your trip in Kumamoto with Mr. Otsuka. Thank you for being our customer, we look forward to welcoming you to Japan again. We’re here to serve you anytime.
The driver was polite, but really has difficulty finding a few of the sites.
We’re grateful that you took the time to leave us a review. Thanks a lot!
Mr. Otsuka was wonderful in accommodating my family and helping them find both food they wanted to eat (difficult with a picky eater and allergies) and the experiences they wanted to have. He accommodated my requests for two specific sightseeing spots and then filled the rest of the time flexibly and impeccably according to my family's requests, taking them to beautiful scenic spots and a fascinating shrine.
Thank you for being our customer and leaving us a wonderful 5-star review. We believe Mr. Otsuka will be very happy to hear your warm feedback. And thank you so much for recommending us in your review! Have a nice day!
My family had an excellent time and no difficulties having their needs met despite the language barrier. Excellent, professional service led to a relaxing and wonderful day.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We hope your family will enjoy their time in Japan. We’re here to serve you anytime.
