Reviews
We had a good experience thanks to our driver, Li. He was kind, patient, and made a great effort to communicate with us despite the language barrier. We truly appreciated his professionalism. Unfortunately, the weather at Kuratake did not cooperate. We left at 6:00 a.m., but the summit remained covered by clouds for hours. We only had a short window for photos between noon and 1:00 p.m. In summer, we would not recommend leaving too early. Bring plenty of water and snacks, as there are no facilities at the summit. The size of the car also matters. We had a large sedan and no issues because it was quiet, but on busier days access could be difficult. The upper parking area is very small, with space for only 4–5 small cars. Be patient and wait outside, as the weather changes within minutes and clear views can appear briefly. Despite the weather, Li’s excellent service made the trip worthwhile. Thank you!
Our driver for this trip was Mr. Jiang. He arrived at the hotel promptly in the morning and offered suggestions for our itinerary, even helping us book restaurants. He also assisted with taking photos at the attractions. We were a bit embarrassed that we went over by an hour, but Mr. Jiang patiently helped us complete our trip. I highly recommend this tour.
The driver was very punctual. It was raining that day, and the driver pulled the car right up to the entrance, saving us from getting wet. The driver was very talkative, and the route planning was excellent. He took us to all the sights in Kumamoto in one day, not only dropping us off but also joining us and telling us about the history and highlights of many attractions. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and his driving skills were superb.
our driver 小刘 was very kind and helpful. We had a smooth and pleasant trip. Thank you!
The driver was excellent and very polite. The schedule was perfectly arranged, making our trip with seniors both worry-free and smooth. We will definitely book a private car again if we have the chance.
The timing was perfect, and the car was very comfortable. The driver drove smoothly, allowing the elderly passengers to sleep well. We'll definitely book again if we visit Japan!
