Kumamoto Prefecture Ημερήσιες εκδρομές

Αautή είναι η πρώτη φορά που εξερευνούμε τη Φουκουόκα και είχαμε μια υπέροχη εμπειρία επισκεπτόμενοι το Όρος Aso, το Kusasenri και το εντυπωσιακό φαράγγι Takachiho. Θα θέλαμε επίσης να ευχαριστήσουμε την πολύ έμπειρη ξεναγό μας, Ada Wong, για το πόσο εξυπηρετική και επαγγελματική ήταν καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της μονοήμερης εκδρομής. Σίγουρα θα κοιτάξαμε τις προσφορές περιηγήσεων της Klook στο επόμενο οικογενειακό μας ταξίδι διακοπών. Στην υγειά σας Klook!!

Tour guide Ms. Kong was humorous, engaging, and very knowledgeable about local customs and traditions. The driver was extremely polite and friendly, and greeted every passenger each time we got off the bus! Everything has returned to normal following the Kumamoto earthquakes! Sightseeing and tourism are completely fine, there aren't many tourists, and the attractions are very pleasant to walk around. Joining a day tour when traveling independently allows you to visit many places that are inconvenient to reach by public transportation! The itinerary was Aso Kusasenri -> Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine -> Takachiho Torokko Train -> Takachiho Gorge stroll. The Takachiho Torokko Train requires an additional payment of 2,300 yen per person! The weather was still quite hot in late October, so everything was lush and green, but the local scenery was great to see! Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine was my absolute favorite—it has such an amazing atmosphere!

We arrived early at the Kumamoto Station Shinkansen West Exit to meet up. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, came over to gather the group. Since we were carrying luggage and planning to leave the tour in Kurokawa, the guide proactively asked if we had already arranged our hotel pick-up and drop-off. Although we could have arranged it ourselves, he went ahead and did it for us. Since Kurokawa has multiple parking lots, as a tourist, it would have been difficult to clearly communicate the exact pick-up spot with the hotel. Thumbs up for the guide's thoughtfulness! It was a gorgeous sunny day, and every scenic spot made for great photos. As a tourist, the experience was fantastic. Guide Sun also helped take photos for everyone, kept the commentary along the way witty and humorous, took meticulous care of us, and reminded us in advance of important points to keep in mind during the sightseeing. This trip is a great one-day tour option, much more convenient than planning and executing it yourself, and I highly recommend it!

It was a wonderful schedule, but the weather~ ㅠㅠ It rained a lot. Still, it was okay to enjoy the scenery. It's a shame that the fog was so dense we couldn't see the grasslands of Kusasenri or the smoke from the Aso crater at all. The stairway leading up to Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine had a mystical atmosphere, and the scenery seen from the Amaterasu mini-train while wearing raincoats in the rain was nice, but... considering the high price, it was just so-so~~ Finally, Takachiho Gorge was truly wonderful. The scenery is breathtaking enough to make you exclaim. The forest path beside the gorge was great, and the espresso coffee at the cafe at the end of the path was also lovely. Our lovely Chinese guide explained things very diligently.. but since I couldn't understand Chinese, I managed to get the gist of it through Google simultaneous interpretation. She told us the meeting places and times in English and Chinese. It would have been nice if she spoke a little Korean, too. Still, thank you for guiding us so diligently~ I highly recommend the tour. (It would be even better to skip the train and give us more time at the shrine.)

Ένα τέλειο ταξίδι στη φύση του Κιούσου, χάρη στην ξεναγό μας, την αδελφή Νανάμι! Μόλις ολοκληρώσαμε το ταξίδι μας στην Κουμαμότο και τη Μιγιαζάκι και ανυπομονώ να γράψω αυτή την εξαιρετική κριτική. Η διαδρομή αυτής της εκδρομής ήταν εξαιρετικά σχεδιασμένη, συνδυάζοντας τέλεια τα φυσικά θαύματα με τις πολιτιστικές εμπειρίες. Στο Άσο, είδαμε έναν από τους μεγαλύτερους ενεργούς κρατήρες στον κόσμο, και η αίσθηση του παλμού της Γης ήταν αξέχαστη. Περπατήσαμε στις απέραντες πεδιάδες του Κουσα Σένρι, νιώθοντας μια εντελώς διαφορετική αίσθηση ανοιχτωσιάς και ηρεμίας. Η βαρκάδα στο φαράγγι Τακατσίχο ήταν το αποκορύφωμα ολόκληρου του ταξιδιού, σαν να μπήκαμε σε έναν μυθικό κόσμο. Και η «ψυχή» όλων αυτών των υπέροχων εμπειριών ήταν η ξεναγός μας, η αδελφή Νανάμι. Είναι ένα πολύ επαγγελματικό και ενθουσιώδες άτομο: 1. Γνώστης: Γνωρίζει άριστα την ιστορία και τον πολιτισμό του Κιούσου, τους γεωλογικούς σχηματισμούς και τα τοπικά προϊόντα. Οι εξηγήσεις της ήταν ζωντανές και ενδιαφέρουσες, επιτρέποντάς μας όχι μόνο να δούμε το τοπίο, αλλά και να κατανοήσουμε τις ιστορίες πίσω από αυτό. 2. Δίγλωσση επικοινωνία: Υπήρχαν πολλοί ξένοι φίλοι στην ομάδα, και εκείνη τους εξυπηρέτησε άψογα σε άπταιστα κινέζικα και αγγλικά, φροντίζοντας κάθε μέλος. Η επικοινωνία ήταν εντελώς απρόσκοπτη και πολύ προσεκτική. 3. Ενθουσιώδης και προσεκτική: Πάντα με ένα λαμπερό χαμόγελο, φρόντιζε προσεκτικά τους ηλικιωμένους και τα παιδιά στην ομάδα, βοηθώντας τους να λύσουν διάφορα προβλήματα, σαν μια αξιόπιστη αδελφή. Χάρη στην αδελφή Νανάμι, αυτό το ταξίδι ήταν γεμάτο ζεστασιά και αναμνήσεις. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα σε φίλους που σχεδιάζουν να επισκεφθούν το Κιούσου! Ανυπομονώ να συναντηθούμε ξανά στο επόμενο ταξίδι.

Έκανα την περιήγηση για να δω το φαράγγι Takachiho και το Aso Kusasenri, και πέρασα φανταστικά. Η εκδρομή ήταν απίστευτα καλά οργανωμένη. Ο ξεναγός μας, ο Sun, ήταν γνώστης του αντικειμένου και επαγγελματίας· μας έδωσε εξαιρετικές πληροφορίες για την περιοχή και μας καθοδήγησε άψογα καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της ημέρας. Το φαράγγι ήταν υπέροχο και η βόλτα με τη βάρκα ήταν πολύ διασκεδαστική. Πρόσθεσα επίσης το πακέτο γεύματος τελευταία στιγμή και χάρηκα πολύ που το έκανα, γιατί το φαγητό ήταν νόστιμο. Είχαμε μάλιστα την ευκαιρία να δούμε άλογα στο Kusasenri, κάτι πολύ ωραίο. Συνολικά, συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα αυτή την εκδρομή!

We spotted tour guide Nana's flag first thing in the morning. She was sweet and extremely dedicated, and she didn't waste any time talking when it was time for us to rest and catch up on sleep! Her Mandarin and English were both fluent, so there were zero communication barriers. Since I easily get motion sick, I had added a note requesting a front-seat before joining the tour, and they saved a seat for me. The scenery along the entire way was truly gorgeous, and everywhere we went had a wonderful, comfortable energy. Because we joined the Takachiho Gorge boating activity, our schedule required precise timing. As soon as we arrived at Takachiho Gorge, Nana gave instructions on the meeting time and place for those not boating, and then rushed forward with the nine of us who were participating in the boating activity! It turns out that boating time is limited, and failing to return within the designated time results in extra fees charged by the boat rental shop! The boats are not the easiest to steer, but it is a lot of fun. I highly recommend trying it out if you aren't traveling with very young children or elderly family members—since you're already there, you might as well! I highly recommend this tour and am very grateful to our guide, Nana, for giving us such a wonderful day! By the way, the mango shaved ice has very poor value for the money, so skip it! The soft-serve ice cream should be worth a try, though!

The guide could only speak Japanese and English, but we were able to talk to be each other via translation apps. He also had updates and messages for the English speakers ready in every stop (for timeline, return times per location, and info). we rode a bus, and it was comfy. each location was really nice! although we couldn't really stay too long, which is too bad, but understandable since it's so far away. I was still so happy to be able to visit all these places, and I knew being able to go here on my own (without the tour) would've been very diffifuclt if 8 didn't have a car). All of the places we went to were great, and also wanted to note we had bathroom breaks both going to and from the locations.

It was a truly impressive trip. I was the only English speaker, but the guide. Zhu Zhu, took good care of me, ensuring I fully understood everything about the tour. The experience far exceeded my expectations.
