Prohlídky Kumamoto Castle

I joined the tour on September 12th and want to thank our guide, Sun Peng. He is the best guide I've ever had on any KLOOK tour! He explained so much about Kumamoto to us with incredibly humorous, engaging, and clear communication. He also created a Line group, not only sharing pickup times and attraction information but also thoughtfully posting must-buy and must-eat recommendations. While we were exploring, we'd often see him moving among us, offering timely reminders and happily sharing stories about his past living in Kumamoto. There were Koreans, Japanese, and Westerners on the bus, and he diligently made sure everyone understood all the information. The driver's skills were also top-notch; even on mountain roads, we didn't feel dizzy. Although the weather was too good, preventing us from seeing the mysterious Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine, it truly felt like a perfect day. After returning, we ate at a ramen shop in Kumamoto Station that Sun, our guide, highly recommended. It made me love Kumamoto and Kumamon even more! Everything was fantastic, a huge thank you! ❤️🙏

Our tour guide was Chinese-speaking, very friendly and professional. She briefed us clearly and guided us throughout the entire journey, making sure we reached our boat experience on time. They also tried their best to purchase the railway tram tickets for us, but unfortunately, due to the public holiday, they were unable to get them. Despite that, they were incredibly thoughtful and even gifted us a mushroom tea bag, some cute little ornaments, and chocolates to bring home. 🥹❤️ Our tour guide was also kind enough to recommend some local food for us to try after the tour, which was really helpful! Overall, we’re very thankful for the wonderful service and thoughtful gestures. It made our Takachiho Gorge experience even more memorable. ✨

Departing on September 9, 2026, our guide, Miyamoto, provided detailed explanations. Since Mount Aso was currently closed (due to a helicopter accident), our itinerary was changed to Aso Bousou Kugino Roadside Station, a rest stop with beautiful views of the Aso mountain range. Afterward, we visited Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, which felt like being in a movie scene. We then arrived at Kusasenri for lunch, a vast grassland on the mountain with many horses and cows along the way, offering a very relaxing landscape. The final stop was Kurokawa Onsen, a charming and comfortable hot spring town, where we also enjoyed delicious cream puffs. The entire trip was well worth experiencing, and our guide welcomed everyone to Kumamoto. Most attractions have been open since the earthquake in July 2026, so visitors can come with peace of mind. God bless Kumamoto! Go Kumamoto!

Tento projekt je velmi cenný a stojí za to se ho zúčastnit. Původně jsem četl, že hrad Kumamoto může být v údržbě a nepřístupný, ale naštěstí jsme ho úspěšně navštívili! Ginkgo stromy a třešňové květy jsou prostě nádherné – čas byl tak akorát. Pokud chcete jíst a nakupovat, musíte si pospíšit a méně fotit, pak máte šanci ochutnat. Tempura je naprosto vynikající a musíte ji vyzkoušet, prodává se společně s dortíky ve tvaru medvěda, obojí je opravdu chutné a roztomilé. Sopka Aso je bohužel zklamáním… kvůli červenému světlu jsme ji nemohli navštívit, což je jediné, co nás mrzí. Průvodce říkal, že je velmi vzácné, aby sopka Aso měla zelené světlo, a ani on sám nedokáže odhadnout, kdy to bude. Krajina je opravdu krásná, a mimochodem, určitě si vezměte větrovku! Mysleli jsme si, že nebude zima, ale byla taková zima, že jsme drkotali zuby. Dejte si kávu a pokud chcete zažít nákup „šťastného balíčku“ (fukubukuro) v Japonsku, můžete si ho koupit. V balíčku jsou hlavní produkty obchodu, takže pokud nechcete vybírat suvenýry, můžete si koupit rovnou balíček, je v něm spousta věcí, které můžete darovat! Je to skvělá hodnota za peníze – jen nám párkrát překazil plány déšť! A je tam jeden supermarket, kde si opravdu kupte, co můžete. Jahody Aso Musume jsou velmi žádané, ale jsou neskutečně sladké a vůbec nejsou kyselé, s nádhernou jahodovou vůní. A jsou tam i další druhy jahod, ceny jsou prvotřídní👍

I did the tour to see Takachiho Gorge and Aso Kusasenri, and I had a fantastic time. The tour was incredibly well-organized. Our guide, Sun, was knowledgeable and professional; he gave us great context about the area and guided us exceptionally well throughout the day. The gorge was beautiful, and the boat experience was so much fun. I also added the lunch package at the last minute and was really glad I did, because the food was delicious. We even got to see horses at Kusasenri, which was very cool. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

Měli jsme štěstí na dobré počasí. Průvodkyně, paní Liu Zhihong Cico, nás den předem kontaktovala e-mailem, protože jsme nastupovali až na druhé zastávce u hradu Kumamoto, a potvrdila, že nám pomůže zajistit místa vpředu. Dnes oba průvodci používali čtyři jazyky – angličtinu, čínštinu, japonštinu a korejštinu – a velmi pečlivě vysvětlovali a představovali. Kromě toho, ačkoli jsme si sami zakoupili jízdenky na vlak Aso Boy z Aso zpět do Kumamota, průvodkyně Liu byla velmi pozorná a během volného času nás nejprve vzala, abychom si ověřili časy odjezdů, a teprve poté se vrátila s ostatními členy skupiny. Byla to opravdu skvělá cesta a příště se jí určitě zúčastníme znovu.

Our tour guide, Wang Qi, was excellent. He helped us find the best spots for photos and patiently took many pictures for each group. It was a shame that it rained on the day we went and Mount Aso was recently closed, but Takachiho and Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine were both wonderful.

The one-day tour from Kumamoto was very pleasant, and we were part of a small group of 7 people. The scenery at Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine was beautiful, the views in Kugino were expansive, and Kurokawa Onsen was also impressive; two hours there felt just right. Our tour guide, Ge Ning, was very friendly, and the driver was also thoughtful, dropping off and picking up passengers at convenient locations.

Stavba hradu Kumamoto si zaslouží zvláštní zmínku, pořídil jsem mnoho fotografií z různých úhlů, každý detail byl úžasný. Velmi jsem se těšil na kráter sopky Aso, bohužel tentokrát platila červená výstraha, takže jsem sopku s černým kouřem pozoroval jen z dálky. Když jsme byli v Kusasenri, začalo pršet. Je to velmi příjemné místo, nekonečné zelené pláně jsou velmi uklidňující. Koně byli velmi robustní.
