An absolutely wonderful tour! The first stop was Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, with an 80-minute stay. It takes about half an hour to walk through the shrine grounds, where you can pray for good fortune or buy some lucky charms. The small street in front of the shrine has many great little shops; whether it's local snacks, souvenirs, the Sumikkogurashi specialty store, or the unique Starbucks, everything is very interesting and well worth spending some time exploring. Next was the Beppu Ropeway, with a 60-minute stop. The cable car ride up the mountain takes about 10 minutes, offering beautiful scenery along the way. It's a bit cooler at the top, so you should keep that in mind. When we went up, it happened to be foggy, so we couldn't see the view below, but walking along the mountain trails in the fog was still a lot of fun. We had nearly two hours in Yufuin. Starting from Lake Kinrin and slowly walking back, there are so many small shops to browse and shop at, as well as plenty of interesting snacks. Even though no lunch time was scheduled, eating and browsing our way through Yufuin turned out to be a fantastic experience. On the way back, we rode the Yufuin no Mori train. Although you can't see much of the scenery at night, it gives you more leisure time, and the seats on the train are more spacious, making it easy to use the restroom and much more comfortable to rest. It's a great choice.

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!

this tour was really good if you love animals and want to see them up close. I enjoyed the guide Zhu Zhu was so sweet and even she spoke little English she was so great and made sure I was able to follow along with rest of the group. She was so delightful and kindhearted, helped me order all the foods form all the shops and stores and offered me her umbrella and even the sweet apples. I highly recommend this route you get to see lots in one day!

view is panoramic 😍 take the mini train, it’s kinda fun. on your way back remember to pay attention to a small volcano, it looks like a pudding 🍮 ning ning has been such a sweet and passionate tour guide. we really love her ❤️ she’s the one who made the journey great.

Our Miyazaki Classic Tour to Takachiho Gorge and Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine was absolutely spectacular! Takachiho Gorge was breathtaking, with its dramatic cliffs, emerald waters, and stunning waterfalls. Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine was equally magical, surrounded by towering trees and a peaceful, mystical atmosphere. What made this experience even more memorable was our wonderful tour guide, Cico! Cico was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of Japan. Cico made everyone feel welcome, kept the tour enjoyable, and ensured we had a fantastic experience throughout the day. This was truly one of the highlights of our Japan vacation! We highly recommend this tour, especially with Cico as your guide. An unforgettable experience worth every penny! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a great experience with this driver. He arrived on time, was friendly and courteous, and made the entire journey very comfortable. It was very easy to get around and we never had to worry about transportation. Thank you for the excellent service. Would definitely recommend to others.

This was the best choice for our Yufuin trip. Our guide, Jeon Gyu-young, gave our family the best time. If you're visiting Yufuin on your own, I highly recommend trying this without hesitation.

We were very lucky to have good weather. Our tour leader, Ms. Liu Zhihong (Cico), contacted us via email the day before because we were joining the tour at the second stop, Kumamoto Castle, and confirmed she would help us get seats closer to the front. Today, both guides used all four languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) and explained everything very diligently. In addition, even though we had purchased our own Aso Boy train tickets for the return trip from Aso to Kumamoto, Guide Liu was very thoughtful. During a break in our free time, she first took us to confirm our train schedule before leading the rest of the group back. It was truly a wonderful trip, and we will definitely join again next time.

After booking, customer service reached out to confirm the itinerary very quickly. They were extremely prompt with their replies and accommodated our requests as much as possible. Our driver, Mr. Hong, provided exceptional service and was very polite. Since a family member needed a wheelchair, Mr. Hong proactively helped with getting in and out of the vehicle multiple times. His thoughtful and attentive service gave us great peace of mind. During the trip, Mr. Hong also enthusiastically introduced the sights along the way, making the entire journey quite pleasant. Highly recommended!
