Kumamoto Prefecture

Our experience with the Kumamoto Castle & Josaien Kimono and Yukata Experience was very enjoyable overall, with the Klook booking process being smooth and convenient, making the activity easy to access and manage. The pricing feels reasonable considering both the cultural experience and the beautiful historical surroundings included. The facilities were clean, organized, and tourist-friendly, with staff assisting properly during the kimono and yukata dressing process. Staff were polite, patient, and helpful, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the activity. The highlight was walking around the Kumamoto Castle and Josaien area while wearing traditional Japanese attire, which created a very authentic and memorable atmosphere. The experience also offered great opportunities for photography and cultural immersion. Overall, it is a unique and worthwhile activity for travelers wanting to experience a traditional side of Japan.

Kumamoto Suizenji Kimono, a first-time experience. The owner and staff were very polite and courteous. In summer, they give out Kumamoto fans, and in winter, socks. They also provide a free photo and complimentary admission to Suizenji Park.

It was super fun ! the instructor was very nice and welcoming. The environment is quiet and relaxing. They also frame the artwork and lets you keep the pen. I also got a time lapse video and I really enjoyed inking.

At first, I was a bit nervous because I couldn't find any reviews or personal experiences online, but the Holiday platform created a group chat with me and the photographer so we could communicate in advance, which was very reassuring. The photographer I met was a fun and gentle woman! She was also very enthusiastic about introducing us to the history of Kumamoto Castle. Unfortunately, my English isn't very good and I only understood part of it, but communication during the photo shoot was completely fine. The turnaround time for receiving the photos was also super fast. This was a wonderful experience, and I'm so glad I got to meet her!

Great value for great experience. if you have spera 60 minutes, you should give it a try this beautiful and delicious experience. a very warm family run business with great sweets. communication was very smooth and the workshop is very well prepared. try it.

I had a wonderful and truly enjoyable day trip to Mount Aso! The tour was very well planned, with a comfortable pace and plenty of breaks to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. I especially appreciated having enough free time to explore on my own rather than being constantly guided, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Jimmy was an excellent guide! His knowledgeable and funny personality made the bus rides entertaining, and he shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited in a very engaging way. His English was also excellent, making everything easy to understand and the entire trip very comfortable. A special highlight was the delicious milk ice cream at Mount Aso! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Jimmy, for such a lovely day!

Rejselederen, frk. Kong, var meget humoristisk og sjov og havde et stort kendskab til de lokale skikke og kulturer. Chaufføren var utrolig høflig og venlig og hilste på hver enkelt passager, hver gang vi stod af bussen! Efter jordskælvet i Kumamoto er alt nu vendt tilbage til det normale! Sightseeing og turisme er intet problem, og der er ikke mange turister, så det var meget behageligt at gå rundt ved seværdighederne. For rejsende, der rejser på egen hånd, er det en god mulighed at deltage i en dagstur for at besøge mange steder, der ellers er svære at komme til med offentlig transport! Rejseplanen var Aso Kusasenri -> Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu-helligdommen -> Takachiho-minitoget -> gåtur i Takachiho-kløften. Takachiho-minitoget kræver en ekstra betaling på 2300 yen pr. person! I slutningen af oktober er vejret stadig ret varmt, så alt er frodigt og grønt, men det var skønt at se det lokale landskab! Jeg holdt mest af Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu-helligdommen, som havde en helt fantastisk atmosfære!

Jeg har besøgt Kumamoto-borg for anden gang! Ligesom forventet var den stor og storslået, hvilket lever op til dens status som en af Japans tre berømte borger! Selvom en del af borgen blev ødelagt af et stort jordskælv i Kumamoto for nogle år siden og stadig er under genopbygning, var der intet problem overhovedet for turister at besøge Kumamoto-borg! Og jeg anbefaler stærkt, at du køber dine billetter på forhånd hos Klook! Årsagen er, at der er separate køer ved indgangen til henholdsvis billetkøb og forudkøbte billetter, og du kan komme ind med det samme ved at vise din QR-kode til personalet, hvilket er en kæmpe fordel, da det reducerer ventetiden selv en smule!

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!
