Aso County

I'm so glad to have participated in this trip! The scenery along the way was truly beautiful, and every attraction was well worth visiting. Overall, it was an amazing and truly worthwhile travel experience! I especially want to praise our tour guide, Coco, who was extremely professional and attentive! It is truly no small feat to conduct explanations in three languages—Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean—simultaneously while switching between them fluently! The introduction to each attraction was very clear, rich in content, and engaging, helping us better understand the local culture and unique characteristics. The entire itinerary was arranged smoothly, and we could really feel Coco's dedication and professionalism, which made this journey even more perfect! Highly recommended, and thank you, Coco, for giving us such wonderful memories! ❤️

One of the books! Truly appreciate the efforts by our tour guide Anthony for making it a enjoyable experience. Language is not a barrier when you have a guide that do best effort to make it fun and memorable for everyone

This was a tour I took with my parents. I was worried the schedule might be a bit too tight, but we were able to take our time exploring at a relaxed pace, and my parents had no trouble at all. In particular, our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, was truly exceptionally kind and gave fantastic explanations, making the tour even more satisfying. Our driver was also skilled, so we were able to travel without any motion sickness. Thanks to everyone, we were able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Don’t shy away from Kumamoto! It’s safe to visit even after the recent earthquake. Ms Kong was an amazing guide, she’s very well informed and eloquent. Great explanation at all the locations and she always give good recommendations. Mr Xiao was our coach driver, he’s punctual and professional. Thank you for this great experience!

We arrived early at the Kumamoto Station Shinkansen West Exit to meet up. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, came over to gather the group. Since we were carrying luggage and planning to leave the tour in Kurokawa, the guide proactively asked if we had already arranged our hotel pick-up and drop-off. Although we could have arranged it ourselves, he went ahead and did it for us. Since Kurokawa has multiple parking lots, as a tourist, it would have been difficult to clearly communicate the exact pick-up spot with the hotel. Thumbs up for the guide's thoughtfulness! It was a gorgeous sunny day, and every scenic spot made for great photos. As a tourist, the experience was fantastic. Guide Sun also helped take photos for everyone, kept the commentary along the way witty and humorous, took meticulous care of us, and reminded us in advance of important points to keep in mind during the sightseeing. This trip is a great one-day tour option, much more convenient than planning and executing it yourself, and I highly recommend it!

Although the meeting point was slightly different from the tour pictures due to venue renovations, which could be confusing for first-time visitors, it was easy to spot staff members wearing yellow vests once inside the station, so it wasn't a major issue. This trip included visits to Takachiho Shrine, Takachiho Gorge, Kusasenri in Aso (which has a museum and restaurants available at your own expense), and the South Aso Railway (a 1-hour ride costing 1,560 yen at your own expense). Each transit time was about 30 minutes to an hour and a half. The bus was clean, comfortable, and not crowded. Someone contacted us the day before to confirm the booking. Our tour leader, Jiang, was very friendly, helped take photos, and provided a general introduction to the history of the attractions in Mandarin, making it very easy to understand. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient one-day trip for a leisurely outdoor excursion.

Cestování s touto zájezdovou agenturou bylo velmi pohodlné. Průvodce byl skvělý a vše dobře vysvětlil, za jeden den jsme stihli navštívit spoustu míst. Ideální pro ty, kteří si nechtějí půjčovat auto. Na návštěvu soutězky Takachiho jsme měli 2 hodiny, což včetně cesty tam i zpět naprosto stačilo a zbyl i čas navíc. Odpoledne jsme jeli k sopce Aso, kráter byl sice uzavřený, ale viděli jsme okolí zblízka na dvou místech. Kusasenri nabízí krásné výškeré výhledy, ale 1 hodina na prohlídku, oběd a nákup suvenýrů byla možná trochu málo. Celkově to stálo za to, viděli jsme vše, co jsme chtěli, bylo to pohodlné a po cestě byly i zastávky na odpočívadlech.

Průvodce uměl mluvit pouze japonsky a anglicky, ale byli jsme schopni spolu komunikovat pomocí překladatelských aplikací. Na každé zastávce měl také připravené novinky a vzkazy pro anglicky mluvící účastníky (ohledně časového harmonogramu, času návratu na jednotlivých místech a informací). Jeli jsme autobusem a bylo to pohodlné. Každé místo bylo opravdu hezké! I když jsme se tam nemohli zdržet příliš dlouho, což je škoda, ale je to pochopitelné, protože je to tak daleko. Jsem moc ráda, že jsem mohla všechna tato místa navštívit, a vím, že dostat se sem sama (bez zájezdu) by bylo velmi obtížné, kdybych neměla auto. Všechna navštívená místa byla skvělá a ráda bych také zmínila, že jsme měli přestávky na toaletu jak při cestě tam, tak zpět.

Složení zájezdu bylo skvělé a promyšlené. Průvodce podával výklad v čínštině a stručně v angličtině, takže nebylo těžké všemu porozumět. Během cesty nám občas fotil a skvěle se o nás staral, za což moc děkuji. V Japonsku by vás za tuto cenu nevyšly ani náklady na dopravu. Poměr cena a výkon je naprosto úžasný. Ochutnali jsme mléčnou zmrzlinu, čerstvé mléko, jogurt, rýžovou misku s koňským masem i hovězí Akaŭši. Kurokawa Onsen je nádherné místo. Příště bychom se chtěli ubytovat v rjokanu. Děkuji průvodci DELONGovi. Doufám, že se brzy znovu uvidíme.
