Co dělat v Takachiho Gorge

We have a great time. If you go in September just have in consideration that is hot and humid. We wish we had a more time in the second stop. It felt a bit of rush, and it was such a nice spot we wish could enjoy a bit more. The Takachiho Gorge was excellent, we recommend to book with the boat ride because it was sold out. The boat was fun and fresh in the middle of a hot day. Thanks to Daisy for the explanation of every place and recommendation

it’s a very good experience and easy to get into the place with lots of fun knowledge. the tour guide arranged the timing well and didn’t waste any of the time waiting anything. so I will highly recommend to join the tour if you don’t want to drive yourself from other places.

I have been to Japan many times, but this was my first time choosing a one-day guided tour. First of all, a huge shout-out to my tour guide, Sun Peng—he was humorous, very responsible, and extremely professional. I enjoyed listening to his many stories and his recommendations for delicious food. Second, regarding the itinerary, each location is actually worth spending a full day at, so joining a tour feels a bit rushed. I recommend the Aso train and Kusasenri itinerary. I also really liked Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, and the shrines in Takachiho were nice as well, though the gorge tour was just so-so. Skipping the boat ride and the mini-train was a very wise choice, I think, because it was just too hot. Finally, a big shout-out to the driver. Since it coincided with a Japanese long weekend and I heard traffic was terrible, the driver skillfully avoided the worst of the congestion. Very professional.

Myslím, že tento jednodenní výlet byl naprosto skvělý. Ani nemluvím o tom, jak výhodná byla akce „kup jeden, druhý zdarma“, a nakonec jsme ještě dostali suvenýry. Ale myslím, že nejdůležitější bylo, že jsme se nemuseli starat o dopravu. Průvodce byl navíc velmi profesionální, jeho angličtina byla vynikající. Naše skupina zahrnovala i zahraniční turisty a průvodce dokázal okamžitě přepínat mezi čínštinou a angličtinou, přičemž jeho angličtina zněla velmi příjemně a srozumitelně. Trochu škoda bylo, že kvůli zemětřesení nebo něčemu podobnému byla celá oblast s tekoucími nudlemi uzavřena, takže jsme je nemohli ochutnat, což je trochu lítostivé. Někteří členové skupiny šli také na projížďku lodí a kvůli časovému skluzu se zpozdili, ale průvodce na ně trpělivě čekal.

The overall experience of this trip was fantastic! Tour guide Fan is extremely fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English, so communication was a breeze. Furthermore, he is very kind and attentively cared for every traveler along the way. The itinerary was well-organized, the introductions to each attraction were very detailed, and departure times were always announced in advance, allowing everyone to follow the schedule with peace of mind. The driver was also very dedicated, making the entire bus ride comfortable. All the sights this time were beautiful, and I especially loved Takachiho Gorge. The natural scenery, shrines, and outdoor activities along the way were truly relaxing, and the lunch was delicious as well. The overall pace did not feel rushed at all, making it a very comfortable journey. If you join this kind of outdoor tour, since there are quite a few sections that require walking, I recommend wearing a good pair of comfortable walking shoes to make it much easier! I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves natural scenery and shrines.

Kevin is such a great guide and was super entertaining and enthusiastic in making us laugh and enjoying the trip! All instructions were clear and enough time was set for each activity. He was very kind as well and got us gifts to take home as souvenirs, thank you so much:) Our only comment is that upon booking, we initially thought that the Row Boating would be the 1st activity and there was no rain then. However, we did the shrine first and by the time we wanted to do the boating, unfortunately due to the weather and the water being too high, we couldn’t anymore. We understand that this is unpredictable and not at all his fault but perhaps especially when it’s sunny out, that could be the first activity as planned. Overall, would definitely recommend Kevin and his tours, super enjoyable and memorable. Thank you!

one of the best tours I have ever been to! the tour goes to all of the must see spots in Miyazaki! the Gorge was absolutely beautiful! i also really loved the Aso Grass land. it was very foggy which created a ghibli vibe right out of the Howls Moving Castle movie. our guide was absolutely amazing! she pointed us to all of the best spots and photo opportunities. the tour ended with the opportunity to try horse meat at an absolutely delicious shop- and local secret.

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!

Dokonalý výlet za přírodou Kjúšú, díky průvodkyni Nanami! Právě jsem dokončil cestu po Kumamotu a Mijazaki a nemůžu se dočkat, až napíšu tuto skvělou recenzi. Trasa tohoto zájezdu byla skvěle navržena a dokonale spojovala přírodní divy s kulturními zážitky. V Aso jsme viděli jeden z největších aktivních kráterů na světě, ten pocit pulzující Země byl nezapomenutelný; procházka po rozlehlých loukách Kusasenri nám umožnila zažít zcela odlišnou otevřenost a klid; plavba lodí v soutěsce Takachiho byla vrcholem celé cesty, jako bychom vstoupili do mytologického světa. A „duší“ všech těchto nádherných zážitků nebyl nikdo jiný než naše průvodkyně, sestra Nanami. Je to velmi profesionální a nadšená osoba: 1. Znalá: Má hluboké znalosti o historii a kultuře Kjúšú, geologických formacích a místních specialitách. Její výklad byl živý a zajímavý, takže jsme nejen viděli krajinu, ale také pochopili příběhy za ní. 2. Dvojjazyčná komunikace: V týmu bylo mnoho zahraničních přátel a ona jim po celou dobu sloužila plynulou čínštinou a angličtinou, starala se o každého člena, komunikace byla naprosto bezbariérová a velmi ohleduplná. 3. Nadšená a pozorná: Vždy se usmívala, pečlivě se starala o seniory a děti ve skupině a pomáhala všem řešit různé problémy, jako spolehlivá starší sestra. Díky sestře Nanami byla tato cesta plná tepla a vzpomínek. Vřele doporučuji všem, kteří plánují cestu na Kjúšú! Těším se na další setkání na příští cestě.
