Emy was a good guide. All the attractions included in this trip were worth seeing, especially during the fall! I was expecting to love Yufuin the best but Nyoirinji was really lovely.

21/11/2024 Tour guide name: Zhang Quan ZHANG I am very satisfied with the one-day tour itinerary. The weather is sunny. The tour guide is very enthusiastic and kind. There is also sufficient time for sightseeing attractions. The tour guide will give detailed explanations before arriving at the attractions in the bus. The local history and culture of Japan let us know where we want to go as soon as we get off the bus, which place we want to check in and take pictures, and which local delicacies we must eat. This is a great thing and will not let us tourists arrive. After that, I wasted time not knowing where to go. The tour guide always took care of our safety and was happy to take photos for me. Thank you tour guide! Thanks for your hard work! めちゃ楽しかった!お风れ様でした、ありがとう! !

The maple viewing location is beautiful and the tour guide Daisy is very enthusiastic! ! Jiu Nian'an was temporarily changed to another attraction due to closure. The scenery is still beautiful and there is no admission fee. The overall itinerary is a bit full, so I have to hurry up and buy something to eat.

We enjoyed our trip to Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine ,Mount aso and Kusenrigahama very much. Thanks to our driver Hugo who made our trip very pleasant. He picked us up from the hotel on time, and managed the time well so that we did not go overtime at the end of the day. The restaurant recommended by Hugo is also very nice. Additional fees needed for carpark and toll fees are less than 10000 yen.

The itinerary was great, not too rushed, and I had plenty of time for Jinlin Lake. The tour guide, Ms. An, was beautiful and serious and responsible. The driver drove very steadily. I didn’t expect that there were red leaves now, which were super beautiful! 🍁
