Tekemistä paikassa Aso County

I'm so glad to have participated in this trip! The scenery along the way was truly beautiful, and every attraction was well worth visiting. Overall, it was an amazing and truly worthwhile travel experience! I especially want to praise our tour guide, Coco, who was extremely professional and attentive! It is truly no small feat to conduct explanations in three languages—Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean—simultaneously while switching between them fluently! The introduction to each attraction was very clear, rich in content, and engaging, helping us better understand the local culture and unique characteristics. The entire itinerary was arranged smoothly, and we could really feel Coco's dedication and professionalism, which made this journey even more perfect! Highly recommended, and thank you, Coco, for giving us such wonderful memories! ❤️

One of the books! Truly appreciate the efforts by our tour guide Anthony for making it a enjoyable experience. Language is not a barrier when you have a guide that do best effort to make it fun and memorable for everyone

This was a tour I took with my parents. I was worried the schedule might be a bit too tight, but we were able to take our time exploring at a relaxed pace, and my parents had no trouble at all. In particular, our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, was truly exceptionally kind and gave fantastic explanations, making the tour even more satisfying. Our driver was also skilled, so we were able to travel without any motion sickness. Thanks to everyone, we were able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Don’t shy away from Kumamoto! It’s safe to visit even after the recent earthquake. Ms Kong was an amazing guide, she’s very well informed and eloquent. Great explanation at all the locations and she always give good recommendations. Mr Xiao was our coach driver, he’s punctual and professional. Thank you for this great experience!

Saavuimme etuajassa Kumamoton aseman Shinkansen-länsisisäänkäynnille. Matkaoppaamme Sun Peng tuli paikalle kokoamaan ryhmän. Koska meillä oli matkatavarat mukana ja tarkoituksena jäädä pois ryhmästä Kurokawassa, opas kysyi oma-aloitteisesti, olemmeko sopineet kuljetuksesta hotellin kanssa. Vaikka olisimme voineet hoitaa asian itse, opas auttoi meitä ottamaan yhteyttä hotelliin. Koska Kurokawassa on useita pysäköintialueita, meidän turistien olisi luultavasti ollut vaikea sopia noutopaikasta selkeästi hotellin kanssa. Iso kiitos oppaan tarkkaavaisuudesta! Päivä oli täysin aurinkoinen ja jokaisesta nähtävyydestä sai upeita valokuvia. Turistin näkökulmasta kokemus oli todella hyvä. Opas Sun auttoi myös valokuvaamisessa, selitti nähtävyyksiä hauskasti ja humoristisesti, piti meistä hyvää huolta ja muistutti etukäteen kaikista tärkeistä asioista. Tämä retki on loistava valinta päiväretkeksi, paljon helpompi kuin oman matkan suunnittelu ja toteutus. Voin sumpitella lämpimästi!

Although the meeting point was slightly different from the tour pictures due to venue renovations, which could be confusing for first-time visitors, it was easy to spot staff members wearing yellow vests once inside the station, so it wasn't a major issue. This trip included visits to Takachiho Shrine, Takachiho Gorge, Kusasenri in Aso (which has a museum and restaurants available at your own expense), and the South Aso Railway (a 1-hour ride costing 1,560 yen at your own expense). Each transit time was about 30 minutes to an hour and a half. The bus was clean, comfortable, and not crowded. Someone contacted us the day before to confirm the booking. Our tour leader, Jiang, was very friendly, helped take photos, and provided a general introduction to the history of the attractions in Mandarin, making it very easy to understand. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient one-day trip for a leisurely outdoor excursion.

Traveling with the tour was very convenient. The guide took good care of us and provided great recommendations, allowing us to visit a variety of places in just one day. For those who prefer not to rent a car and drive, having 2 hours at the Takachiho Gorge, including the round-trip walk, was more than enough time. In the afternoon, we visited Mt. Aso. Even though the crater was closed, we were able to see the views up close at two different spots. Kusasenri offered beautiful scenery, though 1 hour might be a bit tight for sightseeing, having a meal, and shopping for souvenirs. Overall, it was a very worthwhile and convenient experience with everything covered, including a stop at a service area along the way.

Matka oli todella vaikuttava. Olin ainoa englanninkielinen osallistuja, mutta opas, Zhu Zhu, piti minusta hyvää huolta ja varmisti, että ymmärsin kaiken kiertomatkaan liittyvän. Kokemus ylitti odotukseni kirkkaasti.

The guide could only speak Japanese and English, but we were able to talk to be each other via translation apps. He also had updates and messages for the English speakers ready in every stop (for timeline, return times per location, and info). we rode a bus, and it was comfy. each location was really nice! although we couldn't really stay too long, which is too bad, but understandable since it's so far away. I was still so happy to be able to visit all these places, and I knew being able to go here on my own (without the tour) would've been very diffifuclt if 8 didn't have a car). All of the places we went to were great, and also wanted to note we had bathroom breaks both going to and from the locations.
