Thanks for watching! I'm glad you loved it. We didn't use any passes, just our IC cards (Toica and Pasmo), which are accepted on the trainlines and the bus to Dazaifu. It's totally doable to visit both places in one day. We took our time and never felt rushed. There are a few flights of stairs in Nanzoin, but they're spread out, so you can rest in between. If you take the bus to Dazaifu, it’s about a 40-minute ride-perfect for a quick nap. In Dazaifu, you can easily explore the main hall and its surroundings. But, if you head to Tenkai Inari Shrine, be prepared for quite a bit of climbing.

The moment she realized her umbrella is ineffective...😢

The hotel is quite nice but the room is small (typical for a business hotel). Did you book through Booking.com as well? Make sure to select a non-smoking room. We forgot to do that and ended up in a smoking room, which had a very strong smell that made it hard to sleep. Fortunately, the staff were helpful and moved us to an available non-smoking room the next day. Did you get the room with free breakfast? The breakfast includes traditional Japanese food like rice, soft-boiled egg, soup, salad, fried items, and fish.

​@@cloudscape-ng Hi, I book a double non smoking room. I did not include breakfast though. Can a large luggage can be opens in the room and one small?

@@cloudscape-ng can staff speak basic english? or we need a translator in communicating? 😊

@@nazt499 Yes, in our case, we managed to open our large luggage, but it was on the floor, partially blocking the path to the door.

@@nazt499 Yes, they understand us when we speak in English and can reply in basic English. Installing Google Lens is a great idea; it’s handy for translating Japanese to English by simply taking a picture.

Thanks for watching and Have fun!

Hi nazt499, Thank you for watching. The taxi we got is a premium one (I think it's also an Uber Taxi), and there’s a sticker on the window indicating that it accepts Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and JCB. We paid in cash though.

@@cloudscape-ng how to you identify that the taxi is premium or not?

@@nazt499 I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think the premium taxis are the black 5-door MPV style ones, while the regular taxis are the older, boxy Toyota Crown Comfort models.
