Ting at lave i Daikanbo

Vores rejseleder talte kinesisk, var meget venlig og professionel. Hun gav os klare instruktioner og fulgte os under hele turen, så vi nåede vores bådtur til tiden. De gjorde også deres bedste for at købe togbilletterne til os, men desværre kunne de ikke skaffe dem på grund af helligdagen. Til trods for det var de utrolig betænksomme og forærede os endda en svampete-pose, nogle fine små pyntegenstande og chokolade, vi kunne tage med hjem. 🥹❤️ Vores rejseleder var også så venlig at anbefale noget lokal mad, vi kunne prøve efter turen, hvilket var til stor hjælp! Alt i alt er vi meget taknemmelige for den vidunderlige service og de betænksomme gestus. Det gjorde vores oplevelse ved Takachiho-kløften endnu mere mindeværdig. ✨

Dette projekt er meget værdifuldt og en tur, der er værd at deltage i. Jeg havde oprindeligt læst, at Kumamoto Slot måske var under vedligeholdelse og ikke åbent for besøgende, men heldigvis lykkedes det os at besøge det! Ginkgotræerne og kirsebærtræerne er virkelig smukke – timingen var perfekt. Hvis du vil spise og shoppe, skal du skynde dig og tage færre billeder, så har du en chance for at få noget at spise. Tempuraen er super lækker og et must-try. Den sælges sammen med kager formet som bjørne, og begge dele er virkelig lækre og søde. Aso-vulkanen var desværre en skam... Vi kunne ikke besøge den på grund af et rødt lys, hvilket var den eneste skuffelse. Guiden sagde, at det er meget sjældent at opleve Aso-vulkanen med grønt lys, selv guiden kan ikke forudsige det. Landskabet er virkelig smukt, og husk at medbringe en vindtæt jakke! Vi troede ikke, det ville være koldt, men vi frøs virkelig. Du skal også drikke kaffe, og hvis du vil prøve at åbne en "fukubukuro" (lykketaske) i Japan, kan du købe en. Fukubukuroen indeholder et udvalg af butikkens nøgleprodukter. Hvis du ikke vil vælge souvenirs, kan du købe en fukubukuro direkte, der er mange ting i den, som du kan give væk! Det er virkelig god værdi for pengene – det regnede dog lidt og forstyrrede os et par gange! Der er et supermarked, hvor du virkelig skal købe, hvis du kan. Aso-musume jordbær er meget populære, men de er utroligt søde og slet ikke sure, med en duftende jordbærduft. Der er også andre jordbærsorter, og priserne er fremragende.

Super convenient and great value! I took the Klook tour to 草千里, 阿蘇神社, and 黑川温泉, and it was super convenient with high CP value. For someone like me who wanted to leave the tour at 黑川温泉 for an overnight stay, the cost was similar to traveling independently — but I also got to visit 草千里 and 阿蘇神社. The guides Eva and 쭈쭈 were fantastic, taking care of English, Korean, and Chinese-speaking guests. Eva even helped call my ryokan to arrange luggage delivery before we arrived, making the trip comfortable and stress-free for my mum and me, she cannot walk long distances and we were carrying a 28-inch luggage. Highly recommended! p.s. don’t miss the beef skewer from the food stall nearby the 阿蘇神社, it tastes great!

Rejseplanen var som følger: Afgang fra Tenjin centrum ➡️ Itoshima Hana Shio Pudding ➡️ Meoto Iwa (De gifte pars klipper) ved Futamigaura ➡️ Tsukamoto fiskebutik ➡️ Miyajidake-helligdommen ➡️ Munakata-helligdommen. Chaufføren var meget hensynsfuld! Servicen var yderst venlig! Han anbefalede os også en fantastisk fiskerestaurant, som hele familien syntes var lækker 👍🏽 Bilen var ren og pæn, og hele turen forløb glat og perfekt 💯

Dagsudflugten fra Kumamoto var meget behagelig, og vi var en lille gruppe på syv personer. Uesedani Kumano-helligdommens udsigt var smuk, landskabet i Kugino var vidtstrakt, og Kurokawa Onsen var også imponerende, med to timers ophold, hvilket var passende. Guiden, Ge Ning, var meget venlig, og chaufføren var også hensynsfuld og satte passagererne af og på ved mere bekvemme steder.

Because transportation and timing for Mt. Aso and Takachiho are a bit inconvenient, I joined a one-day tour. Our guide, Jiang Cui, was enthusiastic and friendly. We went in June 2026 during the rainy season, so it was definitely raining in the mountains, which unfortunately made the scenery less beautiful. The first stop was the Takachiho Gorge Railway station (where disposable raincoats were sold). Next, there was a hiking trail to see the gorge, leading to the shuttle bus pick-up point (remember to take an earlier shuttle back to the original starting point for the group, don't try to walk back) (the shuttle is a 9-seater van, only one at a time). There was an old lady selling hot mochi and ice cream there, which were quite good. If you like any of the local specialties sold there, you should buy them then, as they might not be available on the way back down the mountain. The next stop was Takachiho Shrine to see the enormous sacred trees. Finally, we arrived at the Kusasenri rest stop. The second floor here sells full meals (very expensive), while the first floor has local specialties and a coffee shop. Again, if you like something, buy it, as some cookies are exclusive to this store. Overall, the timing of the tour was well-managed, and we didn't feel rushed when taking photos. I'm not sure if the driver had a set working time for the day, but it felt like he drove quite fast throughout the trip.

Compared to other itineraries, the cost is higher, but it's very convenient to visit most famous attractions in a single day. The weather is crucial when visiting attractions, and on this trip, the sun was very strong. Although it was hot, the overall scenery and views were excellent.

We had a wonderful time—many thanks to our guide, Vincent, for making the experience so enjoyable.

Our driver and tour guide, Mr. Tiejun, provided excellent service and very detailed explanations. This tour group was small, so we traveled in a 10-person minibus, which meant we didn't have to drive ourselves and could focus on enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. We could also rest comfortably when tired. Kurokawa Onsen is small and beautiful; we took advantage of the time to visit the Ikoi Ryokan, which is certified as a secret hot spring, for a day-use onsen experience for ¥700. We enjoyed the unique standing bath and the open-air hot spring with its beautiful bamboo forest views.
