This one-day tour to Takachiho Gorge, Kusasenri, and Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine was exceptionally well-planned, with a comfortable pace. We didn't feel tired from too many attractions, nor did we experience excessive waiting times. The trip perfectly blended natural scenery, cultural experiences, and relaxation. Our tour guide, Mr. Ohashi, provided explanations fluently in both Chinese and Korean. He clearly communicated meeting times, boarding and alighting procedures, and all important注意事项 (points of attention). He also shared the history, culture, and local stories behind each attraction, making the journey more than just sightseeing; it offered a deeper understanding of Kyushu's human and natural characteristics. Mr. Ohashi was friendly, meticulous, and managed time perfectly, allowing everyone to enjoy the trip with peace of mind. The first stop was the long-anticipated Takachiho Gorge. Famous for its spectacular columnar jointed gorge and the Manai Waterfall, it was even more breathtaking in person than in photos. The emerald green stream, towering rock walls on both sides, and the waterfall intertwined to create a natural masterpiece that was truly unforgettable. We experienced boating, which allowed us to admire the waterfall and gorge up close, an impressive highlight. After leaving Takachiho, we headed to Kusasenri, a renowned spot in the Aso region. The vast grasslands, combined with the majestic topography of Mount Aso, presented a natural landscape distinctly different from Takachiho. The weather was excellent that day, offering expansive views, and we could clearly appreciate the magnificent terrain around the crater. Mr. Ohashi explained the formation process of Mount Aso, its volcanic activity history, and the origin of Kusasenri. While enjoying the scenery, we also learned how this land evolved over a long period to become what it is today. Standing on the vast grassland, we felt exceptionally relaxed and deeply appreciated the charm of Kyushu's natural landscapes. Finally, we arrived at Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine. As we ascended the stone steps, moss-covered stone lanterns lined both sides, surrounded by dense forests, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere. Mr. Ohashi introduced the shrine's history and origins, and also shared that it had been a filming location for movies and anime. Throughout the entire journey, Mr. Ohashi provided rich explanations and took care of every group member. He proactively reminded us of meeting times, recommended the best photo spots, suggested local specialties worth purchasing, and constantly checked if everyone was present, maintaining a relaxed yet efficient pace for the entire group. Even during long drives, he interspersed his commentary with insights into the history, culture, and daily life of the Kumamoto, Aso, and Takachiho regions, adding depth to the overall trip. Overall, this was a well-planned and high-quality one-day tour. The astonishing beauty of Takachiho's gorge, the vast and magnificent natural landscape of Kusasenri and Mount Aso, and the serene and mysterious forest atmosphere of Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine—these three attractions were distinct and non-repetitive, making the day's itinerary full of variety and surprises. I highly recommend this tour, and especially recommend our guide, Mr. Ohashi. His professional explanations, meticulous service, and extensive experience made this trip more than just admiring beautiful scenery; it provided a deeper understanding of Kyushu's history, culture, and nature. If I participate in another Kyushu day tour in the future, I would definitely hope to be led by Mr. Ohashi again, as I believe it would be another fulfilling and enjoyable journey.

#First time joining a group tour in Japan, and it was a fantastic experience! Our guide was incredibly dedicated, explaining Japanese culture throughout the trip and even clarifying the design intent behind Kumamon, which helped us remember things quickly. The guide was also very thoughtful, taking photos for us before we went boating, creating wonderful memories. We felt the day's itinerary was very fulfilling. Despite the hot weather, we were tired but happy, having visited most of Kumamoto's most iconic spots. Although time was limited, we were very satisfied! We hope to join a different tour route next time! The Aso cuisine recommended by the guide was truly delicious, though we couldn't take any home... Thank you!

Turen var så bra. Vi dro til dyrehagen om morgenen og deretter til Umi Jigoku, og så fjellet Yufu på veien til Yufuin. Guiden vår, Nicole Yang, var veldig flink til å forklare og svært hjelpsom. Hun hjalp meg med å ta bilder siden jeg reiser alene.

Jeg likte denne turen veldig godt. Jeg så mange søte og fine ting i Yufuin landsby. Bare litt trist at togturen var innstilt under vårt besøk. Vi fikk imidlertid tilbrakt lengre tid ved andre attraksjoner. Turlederen vår, Daisy, er en så snill person. Hun laget til og med kart og matanbefalinger for oss. Bussjåføren vår kjørte også forsiktig, så jeg fikk hvile mellom stedene.

Just got back from our trip and it was fantastic! Special shoutout to our guide "Summer" — she was super helpful, full of local tips, and made the whole day smooth and fun. We saw all the highlights and tried so much great food because of her recommendations. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Første gang i Fukuoka var turguiden vår, Zeal, veldig vennlig. Selv om det regnet, gikk han av bussen ved hvert stopp for å ta bilder av oss. Sjømatlunsjen var veldig god. Da et annet gruppemedlem ved et uhell skadet seg under måltidet, gjorde Zeal også sitt beste for å finne en helbredende salve. Bra👍🏻

This was my second time to see the beauty of Fukuoka from Fukuoka tower perspective. It was still amazing and not crowded compared to Tokyo tower or Skytree. The tower is just across momochi seaside park so we enjoyed the sunset view by the beach. It was easy to exchange the voucher to physical ticket. Besides, ticket was not expensive so might as well include this in your Fukuoka itinerary. It was a beautiful weather when we were there so the sky was blue and the ocean was shimmering because of the bright sun reflections. We loved the experience. Highly recommended!

Det var så bra, da vi dro var det bare noen få mennesker der. Kanskje vi var heldige og unngikk folkemengdene og fikk en rolig spasertur rundt i akvariet. Det var en seloppvisning, det var så søtt å se dem så nært. Du kan også mate dem hvis du kjøper mat ved siden av plassen deres. Det har blitt et av våre favorittakvarier i Japan.

we were the only ones who booked through Klook so we had the entire boat & guide to ourselves (pure luck!). our guide is a local and could speak English well, he could even sing in English! the entire experience was very fun, having to cruise through the canals which gave off really zen vibes. recommend to go for the earliest slots for the pleasant weather and looser crowds. we waited patiently in the lobby before the ride for our guide to identify us. the hotel lobby have loads to shop as well.
