Mount Aso-turer

Dette er første gang vi utforsker Fukuoka, og vi har hatt en fantastisk opplevelse med besøk til Mount Aso, Kusasenri og den nydelige Takachiho-kløften. Vi vil også takke vår svært erfarne reiseleder, Ada Wong, for å være såhjelpsom og profesjonell gjennom hele dagsutflukten. Kommer definitivt til å sjekke ut Klooks tutilbud på vår neste familieferie. Takk igjen, Klook!!

We arrived early at the Kumamoto Station Shinkansen West Exit to meet up. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, came over to gather the group. Since we were carrying luggage and planning to leave the tour in Kurokawa, the guide proactively asked if we had already arranged our hotel pick-up and drop-off. Although we could have arranged it ourselves, he went ahead and did it for us. Since Kurokawa has multiple parking lots, as a tourist, it would have been difficult to clearly communicate the exact pick-up spot with the hotel. Thumbs up for the guide's thoughtfulness! It was a gorgeous sunny day, and every scenic spot made for great photos. As a tourist, the experience was fantastic. Guide Sun also helped take photos for everyone, kept the commentary along the way witty and humorous, took meticulous care of us, and reminded us in advance of important points to keep in mind during the sightseeing. This trip is a great one-day tour option, much more convenient than planning and executing it yourself, and I highly recommend it!

Tour guide Ms. Kong was humorous, engaging, and very knowledgeable about local customs and traditions. The driver was extremely polite and friendly, and greeted every passenger each time we got off the bus! Everything has returned to normal following the Kumamoto earthquakes! Sightseeing and tourism are completely fine, there aren't many tourists, and the attractions are very pleasant to walk around. Joining a day tour when traveling independently allows you to visit many places that are inconvenient to reach by public transportation! The itinerary was Aso Kusasenri -> Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine -> Takachiho Torokko Train -> Takachiho Gorge stroll. The Takachiho Torokko Train requires an additional payment of 2,300 yen per person! The weather was still quite hot in late October, so everything was lush and green, but the local scenery was great to see! Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine was my absolute favorite—it has such an amazing atmosphere!

Første gang i Kumamoto, og så heldig å få Inderon som guide! Guiden er virkelig svært omtenksom og samvittighetsfull; både når det gjelder presentasjon av attraksjoner, transportmuligheter og små detaljer, forklarer han tålmodig til oss. Det gjorde et sterkt inntrykk at guiden til og med tegnet et kart for hånd til oss, slik at vi fikk en klarere forståelse av veien. Vi satte virkelig pris på denne omtanken 🥹 Sjåføren hadde også svært gode kjøreferdigheter 👍 Selv om turen vår ble preget av regn, oppussing av severksomheter, tåke på Kusasenri og andre uforutsette ting, hjalp Inderon oss likevel tålmodig og bisto med å løse problemer som dukket opp underveis. Tusen takk for at du sa vi bare må ta kontakt hvis vi har noen spørsmål om Kyushu i fremtiden. Håper vi får sjansen til å delta på din tur igjen neste gang vi besøker Kyushu!

Jimmy var en fantastisk guide! Det er alltid hyggelig når man har en leder som er avslappet og får en buss til å le og smile. Familien min og jeg nøt dagsturen. Severdighetene var vakre og absolutt verdt det. Vil absolutt anbefale dette, og hvis du er så heldig å få Jimmy, vil du få en fantastisk tid med å oppleve Fukuoka.

It was a wonderful schedule, but the weather~ ㅠㅠ It rained a lot. Still, it was okay to enjoy the scenery. It's a shame that the fog was so dense we couldn't see the grasslands of Kusasenri or the smoke from the Aso crater at all. The stairway leading up to Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine had a mystical atmosphere, and the scenery seen from the Amaterasu mini-train while wearing raincoats in the rain was nice, but... considering the high price, it was just so-so~~ Finally, Takachiho Gorge was truly wonderful. The scenery is breathtaking enough to make you exclaim. The forest path beside the gorge was great, and the espresso coffee at the cafe at the end of the path was also lovely. Our lovely Chinese guide explained things very diligently.. but since I couldn't understand Chinese, I managed to get the gist of it through Google simultaneous interpretation. She told us the meeting places and times in English and Chinese. It would have been nice if she spoke a little Korean, too. Still, thank you for guiding us so diligently~ I highly recommend the tour. (It would be even better to skip the train and give us more time at the shrine.)

The scenery was so breathtaking and had a mystical charm. I was worried at first because there were only two Koreans in our group, but our guide, Kong Yan, explained everything clearly in English even amidst the crowds and even sent translations via KakaoTalk, so everything went smoothly. We got to explore a variety of tourist spots in a well-organized itinerary, making it a truly fun and wonderful sightseeing experience!

Jeg var på utflukt for å se Takachiho-kløften og Aso Kusasenri, og jeg hadde en fantastisk opplevelse. Turen var utrolig godt organisert. Guiden vår, Sun, var kunnskapsrik og profesjonell; han ga oss flott bakgrunnsinformasjon om området og guidet oss eksepsjonelt godt gjennom hele dagen. Kløften var vakker, og båtturen var utrolig morsom. Jeg la også til lunsjpakken i siste liten og var veldig glad for at jeg gjorde det, for maten var kjempegod. Vi fikk til og med se hester ved Kusasenri, noe som var veldig kult. Alt i alt anbefaler jeg denne turen på det varmeste!

The package was well-organized and great. The guide gave briefings in Chinese with brief explanations in English, so it wasn't hard to understand. I was so grateful that they took pictures for us along the way and took good care of us. In Japan, you wouldn't even cover transportation costs for this price. It is an amazing value for the money. We also tried milk ice cream, plain milk, yogurt, horse meat bowl, and Akaushi beef. Kurokawa Onsen is wonderful. Next time, I'd like to stay at a ryokan. Thank you, Mr. DELONG. I hope to see you again next time.
