We had an amazing experience on this one-day tour covering Mount Aso, Kusasenri, and Takachiho Gorge. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well-paced. There was enough time at each stop to explore and take photos without pressure. Our guide, Jimmy Liu, He was extremely attentive and proactive, giving important reminders before each activity and sharing useful tips and tricks along the way. He was also very impressive in how smoothly he switched between Chinese and English, making communication clear and effortless for everyone in the group, trip felt even more special and stress-free.

This tour is a must if you are in Fukuoka! 💜 Our tour guide (Nicole) is very kind and very helpful. She is also very good in speaking english ✨💜All of the places we visited are great! The highlight is the Amaterasu Railway ride that is absolutely picturesque. You should visit is during sakura season 🌸

So happy and fun!! Xiao Wang is very handsome and a good person, he also allows plenty of time, and doesn't disappear to hide somewhere and steal salary after dismissing the group. He's also easy to talk to, and proactively offers to take pictures for everyone. And this time, I was the only one traveling solo, and when kayaking he even asked if I needed help, saying he could accompany me, so warm! Although I refused haha I wanted to take pictures myself, you can see he takes leading the group seriously~ 😙👍🏻 One of the few great guides with nothing to criticize‼️ Highly recommend 🤚🏻🔥 Although it was a pity this time because the Aso volcano viewing area was closed due to the helicopter accident, the itinerary was changed to Takachiho Shrine ⛩️ which was also beautiful! This accident was very serious and may close the area for quite a while, maybe two or three months, so people who want to go should pay attention!

The 1-day trip was very good. Everything was on time. The guide, Kevin, provided excellent service. The guide speaks Chinese and English well, making it very comfortable for Thai people to travel. It was very worthwhile. The restaurants at Mt. Aso were also reasonably priced. If you're visiting Fukuoka, buy this trip, it's worth it.

On January 7, 2026, which happened to be my birthday, I chose to arrange a day trip to Kumamoto through Klook. The tour guide said there was only a 20-30% chance of going to Mount Aso, so we were observing the wind direction the whole way, and everyone was a bit nervous and excited. We first went to Kusasenri to take photos, and then ate the famous Aso Akaushi Donburi. Unexpectedly, after eating, we received the good news that we could go up the mountain! I was so lucky 🤍 When we arrived at the crater, the surroundings were covered in white snow, which contrasted sharply with the smoking volcano, creating an unrealistically beautiful scene. The tour guide explained everything very carefully along the way, took a lot of beautiful photos for us, and even recommended delicious souvenirs. He was a completely thoughtful tour guide. Then we went to Aso Shrine to worship. We purified ourselves according to the method taught by the tour guide and filled a bottle with spring water to drink. It tasted sweet and delicious. Finally, we arrived at Kurokawa Onsen. In the cold weather, soaking in the warm foot bath relaxed me completely. Before returning, I bought a super red cream puff for dessert, which marked the end of this birthday day trip. Spending my birthday among volcanoes, snow scenes, and hot springs was an unforgettable memory 🎈🤍

It was so rare that it started snowing right as we departed from Kumamoto ❄️. The beautiful Takachiho Gorge was a different kind of beautiful, even though the trees were more barren in winter. Along the way, sometimes there was sunshine, sometimes there was heavy snow; it was truly a super special and unexpected treat. Although we couldn't go to the planned Mount Aso due to the heavy snow, the tour guide skillfully arranged other great locations so we could see the beautiful scenery of South Aso! Many thanks to our guide, Jiang Cui, for her kind guidance and introduction, her enthusiastic help with taking photos, her detailed answers to our questions, and her warm greetings and farewells. She really added a lot of warmth to this trip. The Japanese driver always greeted us when we got on and off the bus and was very polite. It was truly an unforgettable memory in the snow that left a deep impression!

Excellent guide by Miss Kong ! she is very knowledgeable, friendly and funny ! very clear on all instructions and to me the highlight of our kyushu trip. The reason i chose this trip was due to the difficult public transportation but this tour make it possible for it to be done in one day ! the driving was enjoyable , toilet breaks mentioned by Ms Kong all the time, she also gave heads up if the weather in Mt Aso is good or not. If not good the trip to Mt Aso crater might be cancelled but thankfully the weather was good, and its not anybodys fault if the weather is bad ! Ms Kong speak mainly chinese and due to my limited language she does her best to speak English at times , and we really appreciate her effort. I would definetly recommend this tour to everybody that wants a full Mt Aso tour that leaves from Kumamoto ! FYI i bring a 5 year old and she did enjoy it very much also !
