Kurokawa Onsen tours

Although we weren’t able to see the crater, I still really enjoyed the trip. November is a beautiful month to visit Mt Aso, the hills are no longer green but just as gorgeous. The bus ride is scenic, you can enjoy endless slopes covered in golden grass, glowing softly in the sun. There’s an option to try horseback riding, as well as visiting an onsen (or simply a foot bath if you’re reluctant to try that) and at every stop you can taste local delicacies. Additionally, the tour guides are awesome, mad respect to them for conducting the whole trip in four languages - they are my superheroes. Shoutout to Seki, such a wonderful soul, thank you again for all the restaurant recommendations 💛

Thank you to our guide, Yingying (Tan Yingying Helen), for her attentive leadership. We were very fortunate to have Yingying on this trip. The pre-trip information provided was very complete and clear, and she thoughtfully provided multiple ways to contact her, accommodating travelers from different countries (such as WhatsApp and Line, which is especially convenient for Taiwanese travelers). Her message responses were very prompt, which was reassuring. During the tour, she provided detailed and informative introductions to the sights, and she flexibly used both Chinese and English to cater to travelers with different language backgrounds. Her speaking pace was moderate, the interaction was natural, and overall, it was very comfortable to be around her. In addition, Yingying herself is pretty and refined, with very expressive eyes, leaving a very good impression 😆.

Our tour guide, Xiao Wang, was very diligent in introducing the attractions and their origins. He also shared recommendations for delicious food and fun things to do in Fukuoka. 👍 He answered any questions we had in real-time and helped us take beautiful photos. 🍁 We were on a small bus, and every seat was filled. The seat size was a bit small and narrow, especially for men or taller people, and it's not suitable for people with luggage. The weather was quite nice that day (although it drizzled a bit in Yufuin, it only lasted for a while). The sky was beautiful, and some of the attractions had maple leaves 🍁 that were gradually turning red. Although the itinerary was a bit tight, we had a lot of fun at each spot and took many pictures. This tour is suitable for first-time visitors or those who are traveling with family and find it inconvenient to drive 🚗. Overall, it was great, and I recommend everyone to join!

Xiao Chen has a great attitude, manages the itinerary time well, and provides excellent service.

Mount Aso crater and Kusasenri. Aso Shrine and Kurokawa Onsen tours were such precious times. Especially, the guide, Tak Yeon-ji, explained everything so well that I enjoyed the tour. She also took pictures at great photo spots and explained Japanese culture in an easy-to-understand way, which was great. I would like to join the next bus tour with Tak Yeon-ji. Travelers who meet Tak Yeon-ji are lucky. Thank you again to Tak Yeon-ji for making this a wonderful trip.

For travelers who travel independently and without self-driving, participating in this one-day tour is a great choice! Although there was no tour guide this time, the information in the itinerary was quite clear; the lunch arrangement (auspicious tofu) was a healthy meal and the portion was quite sufficient! Purchase a round hot spring immersion hand shape at the tourist service center, and freely choose to go to two hot springs of different styles to experience a semi-open-air hot spring, which is very relaxing! There are many shops on the small street, but you need to pay attention to whether they are open that day. Finally, buy a handmade ceramic cup as a souvenir to end this one-day trip to Kurokawa Onsen! The only drawback was that it was raining that day and there was still some residual snow on the stairwell, making the road slippery and a little dangerous.

Our tour guide was David and he was amazing!! Gave some insights and recommendations. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji the whole trip and before we head back it started snowing which was an awesome experience.

it was great experience and the tour was beautiful. The tour guide who speaks chinese, japanese and english made the tour cool. Kusasenri and Mount Aso they are really beautiful places. Kumamoto Castle is also beautiful. I didn't feel any dull moment during the tour.
