Takachiho Gorge tours

miyazaki was my favorite and autumn leaves adds color to its natural beauty. the tour started and ended on time, the bus is very clean and the driver is friendly too. our tourguide Coco is linguist and checks the whole group always, you can ask help from her and took pictures nicely. bonus point is the free treats

We had an amazing experience on this one-day tour covering Mount Aso, Kusasenri, and Takachiho Gorge. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well-paced, so the day felt relaxed rather than rushed. There was enough time at each stop to explore, enjoy the views, and take photos without pressure. Our guide, Jimmy Liu, really made the difference. 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. Each destination was breathtaking on its own, but with Jimmy’s guidance, the trip felt even more special and stress-free. I booked the trip last minute so I wasn’t able to get the boat ride but I’d suggest to get that option if you can cause the waterfalls look breathtaking.

A fully-packed tour bus on a trip where it drizzled in Kumamoto early in the morning. I bought an umbrella at the convenience store, and after getting on the bus, our guide, Sun Peng, said that Aso had been open for seven consecutive days, so we shouldn't worry. Hearing these confident words made me feel much more relaxed. Unexpectedly, about ten minutes before arriving at Takachiho, the weather turned sunny and beautiful, and I took many lovely photos. The next stop was up the mountain, and it started raining heavily along the way. We arrived at Kusasenri for lunch, and it was still raining outside. But after we finished lunch, the rain stopped. Although it was cloudy later on when we went up Mt. Aso, we still saw the blue crater lake. It was a great day! Finally, on the way back, Sun Peng shared his favorite restaurant, Tengaiten Ramen at Kumamoto Station, which became our dinner. The tour guide was humorous and fun. If you have the chance to meet him, you'll have a wonderful trip to Kumamoto.

This was a wonderful day trip and we enjoyed it immensely. Our guide San San was great—funny, personable, and helpful. Mt. Aso and the gorge were amazing, the open-air train ride was great fun with amazing views, and overall, it was a fantastic day. One word of advice: prepare for all seasons on this trip! The gorge can be quite warm on a sunny day, especially on the hike back up. Likewise, the volcano is windy and freezing cold at the top—take a warm jacket! I would also suggest taking a face mask up there as there is some sulphur gas you will smell. This is not an area you could easily visit on your own; it would be difficult to arrange even with a car. The tour guide took care of everything, showing us where to go while allowing enough time to enjoy each area. We would highly recommend this tour. it’s an awesome place!

This trip was truly unforgettable. The guide Chen was incredibly kind and attentive, and the driver was polite and drove safely. I loved every place we visited, and I’m so grateful for the beautiful memories I made here. I’ll definitely come back again and next time I’ll bring my friends too! 本当に素敵な時間をありがとうございました✨😊💕

We thoroughly enjoyed the Klook day tour to Takachiho Gorge & Mt. Aso. Despite the crowded 8:00 AM meeting point, clear instructions helped us find our excellent guide, Sun Nan, who shared great local insights. Takachiho Gorge was stunning, enhanced by the remaining autumn leaves, and the 30-minute self-rowing boat ride was a fun highlight. While the included beef lunch was standard, we were lucky to have access to the impressive Mt. Aso volcano crater for photos. Kusasenri was mainly a relaxing stop for souvenirs and trying the excellent ice cream, as the grassland was off-season. Note: Due to the distance from Hakata station, the journey is long, resulting in a late return around 6:45 PM. Highly recommend this tour for its amazing natural sights, but be prepared for a full day of travel.

My family and I participated and we were quite pleased with our guide Sekina. She spoke mostly in Mandarin and honestly I thought her English was passable. She’s very helpful though and was good with her food recommendations. The trip was a little rushed but we did go to 3 places with quite a distance between so the driving time was long.

I highly recommended this tour, vakue for money indeed. And our tour guide Melo is very nice and informative, speaks english very well. She took care of everyone. Arigatou! You can check my post on IG of the places we've visited: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQzXDxpAbhV/?igsh=MW1xOXo5dzd3eTRuZw==
