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.

Great 4.0
we enjoyed our time inking a manga page. There were many options to choose from, and the staff were friendly. There was a practice sheet so you could get a feel for how to use the ink pen.

Overall it was a great trip. The whole day was overcast. Mt Asp unfortunately was foggy and we can’t see much. Additionally, I’ve booked the boat ride but the water was high and we weren’t allowed to do any boating activities therefore, the whole thing will be refunded as per what being said to us.

Our tour guide, Sun Peng, was humorous and engaging, making the trip very enjoyable. He provided thorough explanations at each location and even pointed out great spots for photos, demonstrating true professionalism. On this trip, we visited: Takachiho Railway (at the highest point, a young man blows bubbles before the train returns; personally, I don't think it's a must-do), Takachiho Gorge (you can see beautiful scenery from above without needing to row a boat, and the miso grilled dango there is delicious), Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine (a mysterious forest shrine that is incredibly beautiful and definitely worth the climb; the water there is safe and very refreshing to drink), and Kusasenri (where you can see Mount Aso and enjoy matcha pudding). The entire trip was very worthwhile, though I only wish we had more time at each stop.

Today was perfect, with an incredibly kind guide and even ideal weather. Mount Aso was so beautiful, and the grandeur of Takachiho Gorge, along with the mysterious scenery of Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, was all wonderful. Our guide was attentive to each person, even with a large group! I'm usually a big fan of independent travel, so I didn't have high expectations for this tour, but the itinerary was so well-planned that it was a great experience. Most of the group was Chinese, and I was the only Korean, but I was so well taken care of, and I'm very grateful. If the weather is good, you absolutely must go on this tour!!👍👍

It was hot, but the weather was so nice that it made the experience even better. First, the melon ice cream and tomato cola recommended by our guide were absolutely delicious! Climbing up to the Kusasenri Observatory was a bit tiring, but once we got there, the panoramic view was amazing. It was truly refreshing and wonderful. I highly recommend that anyone visiting go up there! Although Koreans were a minority and most of the other participants were from different countries, everyone was punctual, and we were able to relax comfortably on the bus, which was great. You should definitely go on this tour. I highly recommend it!

Very well planned tour, we didn’t feel rush and were lucky enough to see all the sights under great weather. Our tour guide was Kevin and we couldn’t ask for a better one, he has great humor, explanation and very responsible to ensure everyone is taken care of. It’s one of the best day tour you can get if you have a free day in Fukuoka area to experience the nature! (But definitely check the weather first!)
