Things to do in Mount Aso

We had a wonderful time today for this nice tour. Even though the boat ride was canceled in the Takachiho gorge because of the heavy rain, the walk there was spectacular. The Kamisikimi shrine was also a nice addition and you will make beautiful pictures here. Milk and ice cream from Mount Aso were delicious. A special thank you to guide miss Kong that gave us all the information needed in a perfect English. We felt lucky to have you, Kong!

After extensive research on Kyushu, I found that a bus tour is a hundred times more convenient than independent travel, which involves complicated transfers! No need to scramble for Yufuin no Mori train tickets or transfer between JR lines; everything is arranged for you. The view from Daikanbo Peak is superb, and if you're lucky, you might see a sea of clouds. Aso Shrine is quiet and ancient, with its 'marriage pine' and sacred spring creating a wonderful atmosphere. Yufuin offers fairytale shops, the No-Face character stand, and the entire Kinrin Lake area, with plenty of freedom to find desserts and snacks.

This itinerary was very close to nature, and we really enjoyed the overall experience. If you visit Takachiho in the fall, the orange and red maple leaves would be absolutely beautiful. We also added the scenic train ride, and the views were truly stunning! The only minor drawback was that we had too little time at Kusasenri; otherwise, it would have been a great spot for photos, with its vast grasslands and delicious food. Our tour guide also provided very detailed explanations of the stories behind the itinerary, which helped us understand more. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends!

Thank you to our guide, Mr. Miyamoto, for his excellent explanations, help with taking photos, and detailed introductions to the sights. He even made his own map on a drawing board, which showed great dedication. Although it rained all day and was a bit cold, the scenery was still beautiful.

Although the heavy rain was a bit of a drawback, our tour guide, Mr. Miyamoto, was so engaging that the entire trip was far from boring! ✨

Our tour guide, Miyamoto, was very dedicated to introducing the sights and leading the group. It was a shame that Mount Aso was closed this time, and the weather was also unfavorable. I hope to have the opportunity to visit again in the future.

The attractions were captivating... Our tour guide, Zhang, was incredibly professional and attentive. He skillfully coordinated with local drivers to manage our sightseeing schedule, ensuring we had ample time to explore each attraction.

very good tour guide EIICHI. and good driver
