Prefectura de Kumamoto

Overall it was a great trip. The whole day was overcast. Mt Asp unfortunately was foggy and we can’t see much. Additionally, I’ve booked the boat ride but the water was high and we weren’t allowed to do any boating activities therefore, the whole thing will be refunded as per what being said to us.

Our tour guide, Sun Peng, was humorous and engaging, making the trip very enjoyable. He provided thorough explanations at each location and even pointed out great spots for photos, demonstrating true professionalism. On this trip, we visited: Takachiho Railway (at the highest point, a young man blows bubbles before the train returns; personally, I don't think it's a must-do), Takachiho Gorge (you can see beautiful scenery from above without needing to row a boat, and the miso grilled dango there is delicious), Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine (a mysterious forest shrine that is incredibly beautiful and definitely worth the climb; the water there is safe and very refreshing to drink), and Kusasenri (where you can see Mount Aso and enjoy matcha pudding). The entire trip was very worthwhile, though I only wish we had more time at each stop.

Today was perfect, with an incredibly kind guide and even ideal weather. Mount Aso was so beautiful, and the grandeur of Takachiho Gorge, along with the mysterious scenery of Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, was all wonderful. Our guide was attentive to each person, even with a large group! I'm usually a big fan of independent travel, so I didn't have high expectations for this tour, but the itinerary was so well-planned that it was a great experience. Most of the group was Chinese, and I was the only Korean, but I was so well taken care of, and I'm very grateful. If the weather is good, you absolutely must go on this tour!!👍👍

It was hot, but the weather was so nice that it made the experience even better. First, the melon ice cream and tomato cola recommended by our guide were absolutely delicious! Climbing up to the Kusasenri Observatory was a bit tiring, but once we got there, the panoramic view was amazing. It was truly refreshing and wonderful. I highly recommend that anyone visiting go up there! Although Koreans were a minority and most of the other participants were from different countries, everyone was punctual, and we were able to relax comfortably on the bus, which was great. You should definitely go on this tour. I highly recommend it!

Un tour molt ben planificat, no ens vam sentir apressats i vam tenir la sort de veure tots els llocs d'interès amb un temps fantàstic. El nostre guia turístic era en Kevin i no podríem haver demanat un de millor; té un gran sentit de l'humor, explica molt bé i és molt responsable per assegurar-se que tothom estigui ben atès. És un dels millors tours d'un dia que podeu fer si teniu un dia lliure a la zona de Fukuoka per gaudir de la natura! (Però definitivament, comproveu el temps abans!)

Due to the earthquake in the Kyushu region, we changed the tour to Miyazaki for safety reasons. I am Korean, and the guide was fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese, so if you know a little of any of those three languages, you'll have a comfortable trip. Also, it seems like the guides are assigned randomly, but the guide I had was very kind! Oh, and since you'll be walking quite a bit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. For dining, it's a good idea to research restaurants in advance or consider bringing a packed lunch.

Juju Guide! You're fluent in all languages, so communicating in Korean was no problem at all. We encountered some difficulties, but you helped us resolve them over the phone, allowing us to complete our entire trip perfectly. The itinerary was also excellent. We traveled with our baby and parents, and everyone had a beneficial and enjoyable time. The next time we come to Fukuoka, we'd love to use Gogostory again and meet Juju Guide! Thank you so much.

Although the guide primarily provides information in Chinese, if you can speak a little Japanese or English, there won't be any issues with the itinerary. They even used a translator and made a tremendous effort to communicate. We were very grateful. I tried to close the air conditioning vent on the bus, but one side of the plastic was broken, so it couldn't be fully closed. While this was a minor inconvenience, I don't think it's significant enough to negatively impact the overall rating. It seems that the parking lot at Kusasenri, or whatever that rest stop is called, gets quite congested if you drive there, as there are often no available spaces. I think taking the bus and enjoying a more comfortable journey is a better option.

Ens va agradar molt el nostre guia Carson!! Ens va preguntar quin idioma preferíem quan ens vam conèixer, ja que el meu xinès és bastant dolent, així que anàvem a parlar amb ell en anglès, però sorprenentment també parlava cantonès! Durant les presentacions, parlava en xinès i anglès (nosaltres podíem entendre tots dos) i si teníem alguna pregunta, podíem utilitzar el cantonès, cosa que va ser perfecte. Em van agradar molt les muntanyes i vaig tenir temps per anar de compres i fer fotos. Personalment, no m'agraden gaire els onsens, però em va fer feliç veure un gat grassonet allà i aquells edificis únics. Carson també ens va recordar el tema de les serps perquè era el primer dia de sol després de dies de pluja. Carson va ser molt útil i ple d'informació, ens va agradar molt com a guia, la qual cosa va ser una de les raons principals per les quals vam confiar en aquesta empresa i vam fer un altre viatge.
