The trip was amazing, we really enjoyed it and we had a very friendly guide! Here are some tips for future visitors to have the perfect experience: 1. Bring food and something to drink, stop at a Konbini before the trip. There are food options on the trip, but you get to them really late, you have a 2,5 hour drive and sometimes you‘re in a rush. 2. I recommend to Not plan anything directly after the trip, we came back pretty late. 3. don‘t forget your Stamp book. 4. Bring enough cash. 5. You can leave stuff you don’t need while visiting the attractions at the bus, you drive with the same bus, the whole day.

It was a truly impressive trip. I was the only English speaker, but the guide. Zhu Zhu, took good care of me, ensuring I fully understood everything about the tour. The experience far exceeded my expectations.

Guide Choo Choo was very kind and spoke Korean extremely well. The itinerary was packed with great sights! I was quite worried since I was traveling alone, but I had a wonderful and fun time.

Because transportation and timing for Mt. Aso and Takachiho are a bit inconvenient, I joined a one-day tour. Our guide, Jiang Cui, was enthusiastic and friendly. We went in June 2026 during the rainy season, so it was definitely raining in the mountains, which unfortunately made the scenery less beautiful. The first stop was the Takachiho Gorge Railway station (where disposable raincoats were sold). Next, there was a hiking trail to see the gorge, leading to the shuttle bus pick-up point (remember to take an earlier shuttle back to the original starting point for the group, don't try to walk back) (the shuttle is a 9-seater van, only one at a time). There was an old lady selling hot mochi and ice cream there, which were quite good. If you like any of the local specialties sold there, you should buy them then, as they might not be available on the way back down the mountain. The next stop was Takachiho Shrine to see the enormous sacred trees. Finally, we arrived at the Kusasenri rest stop. The second floor here sells full meals (very expensive), while the first floor has local specialties and a coffee shop. Again, if you like something, buy it, as some cookies are exclusive to this store. Overall, the timing of the tour was well-managed, and we didn't feel rushed when taking photos. I'm not sure if the driver had a set working time for the day, but it felt like he drove quite fast throughout the trip.

Guide Im Geun-young went above and beyond to take care of us all day, and thanks to you, we had a wonderful and enjoyable trip! We were worried when we heard the Mt. Aso crater was closed, but we could still see it clearly from a distance, and the vast, open landscape was breathtaking. You took so many great photos for us, so we got wonderful pictures with our family too..!! You also recommended great photo spots, so I captured the shot of a lifetime^^. I was looking forward to Kurokawa Onsen, but the itinerary leading up to it was fantastic as well. You gave us so many interesting explanations along the way, and I learned a lot! We will definitely use your service again next time. Thank you~!!

The tour guide was wonderful and went around picking everyone up because they were worried we might get lost. Since the group was small, they provided a van, and as soon as we got in with our travel pillows, we fell right asleep. Because we left early, the weather at Takachiho Gorge was lovely when we arrived, and we got to try flowing somen noodles and local cuisine for the first time. This tour was the only one that went to Daikanbo. The wind was so strong it made my eyes water. My favorite place was Kurokawa Onsen, where I managed to squeeze in a cave bath for just 400 yen. The whole town is gorgeous. Staying overnight is too expensive, so a day trip is definitely more cost-effective.

Our driver and tour guide, Mr. Tiejun, provided excellent service and very detailed explanations. This tour group was small, so we traveled in a 10-person minibus, which meant we didn't have to drive ourselves and could focus on enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. We could also rest comfortably when tired. Kurokawa Onsen is small and beautiful; we took advantage of the time to visit the Ikoi Ryokan, which is certified as a secret hot spring, for a day-use onsen experience for ¥700. We enjoyed the unique standing bath and the open-air hot spring with its beautiful bamboo forest views.

This trip to Aso left us with wonderful memories! The magnificent mountain scenery and lush greenery along the way relaxed our minds at every turn, and seeing it in person made us truly appreciate the charm of nature. Traveling with the kids, taking in the scenery, and creating precious family memories was the happiest takeaway from this trip. Highly recommended, and I'd love to visit again given the chance! 🌿⛰️

Our itinerary for this trip was: starting from Tenjin city center ➡️ Itoshima Hana Shio Pudding ➡️ Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks) at Futamigaura ➡️ Tsukamoto Fish Market ➡️ Miyajidake Shrine ➡️ Munakata Shrine. The driver was very thoughtful! His service attitude was incredibly friendly! He even recommended a delicious seafood restaurant, which my family also thoroughly enjoyed 👍🏽 The car was clean and tidy, and the entire journey went smoothly and perfectly 💯
