Daikanbo-turer

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.

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~!!

Fordi transporten til Aso og Takachiho er litt upraktisk og tidkrevende, deltok jeg på en dagstur. Guiden, Jiang Cui, var entusiastisk og vennlig. Jeg dro i regntiden i juni 2026, og det regnet definitivt på fjellet, så utsikten var dessverre ikke like vakker. Første stopp var Takachiho minitogstasjon (de solgte engangsregnfrakker). Deretter var det en tursti for å se juvet, og vi gikk til skyttelbussen for returen (husk å ta en tidligere buss tilbake til startpunktet for å møte opp, ikke prøv å gå hele veien tilbake) (det er bare én 9-seters bil om gangen). Der var det en gammel dame som solgte varme mochi og is, som var ganske god. Hvis du liker noen av spesialitetene der oppe, bør du kjøpe dem med en gang, for det er ikke sikkert de er tilgjengelige på vei ned igjen. Neste stopp var Takachiho-helligdommen for å se de enorme hellige trærne. Til slutt dro vi til Kusasenri rasteplass. Her selger de varme måltider i 2. etasje (veldig dyrt), og i 1. etasje er det spesialiteter og en kaffebar. Igjen, hvis du liker noe, kjøp det, da noen kjeks kun selges her. Hele turen var godt timet, og det føltes ikke travelt selv om man ville ta bilder. Jeg vet ikke om sjåføren hadde en tidsbegrensning for arbeidsdagen, men det føltes som om han kjørte ganske fort hele veien.

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.

Reiseplanen for denne turen: Avreise fra Tenjin sentrum, deretter Itoshima Hana Shio Pudding, Futamigaura Meoto Iwa, Tsukamoto fiskebutikk, Miyajidake-helligdommen og Munakata-helligdommen. Sjåføren var veldig hensynsfull! Servicen var svært vennlig! Han anbefalte oss også en deilig sjømatrestaurant, og familien min syntes også maten var veldig god 👍🏽 Bilen var ren og ryddig, og hele turen gikk veldig bra 💯

En dagstur fra Kumamoto var veldig hyggelig, og vi møtte en liten gruppe på totalt 7 personer. Utsikten ved Kamishikimi Kumano-helligdommen var vakker, landskapet i Kugino var vidstrakt, og Kurokawa Onsen var også imponerende, med et to-timers opphold som passet bra. Guiden, Ge Ning, var veldig vennlig, og sjåføren var også hensynsfull og slapp av og hentet passasjerene på mer praktiske steder.

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! 🌿⛰️
