Kyushu: Vulcão Aso, Santuário Kamishikimi Kumanoza e Desfiladeiro Takachiho - Excursão de um dia (partindo de Fukuoka)

We gathered at 7:50 AM, and our guide for the day was Xiao Chen. We thank him for giving us a wonderful day trip experience. Xiao Chen's explanations were very professional and clear, and he also recommended delicious food. This itinerary actually involves a very long time in the car and does not include meals, but Xiao Chen arranged rest stops in between for everyone to take a break and replenish their supplies. The first leg of the journey: Hakata to Takachiho (2.5 hours); the second leg of the journey: Takachiho to Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine (50 minutes). The Aso red beef rice burger at the shrine's parking lot was about 200 NTD, and it was really delicious. The third leg of the journey: Shrine to Kusasenri (1 hour). Unfortunately, due to an incident in January, we were unable to go to the crater, so we went to Kusasenri instead, staying for about 30 minutes, which was a bit rushed. This itinerary involves a lot of walking, so be mindful of your physical stamina!

I joined a Klook day tour visiting Mount Aso, Takachiho Gorge, and Kumanoza Shrine, and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Mr. Chen, was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained the history and background of each place clearly and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. Mount Aso was impressive with its beautiful scenery and volcanic landscape. Takachiho Gorge was definitely the highlight of the trip – the view of the gorge and waterfall was stunning and very peaceful. Kumanoza Shrine was also a nice cultural stop with a calm and spiritual atmosphere. The tour was well organized and the transportation was comfortable. Overall, it was a great way to visit these famous spots in one day without worrying about transportation. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyushu.

I highly recommended this tour, vakue for money indeed. And our tour guide Melo is very nice and informative, speaks english very well. She took care of everyone. Arigatou!

I was the only Japanese person on this tour, but the female guide, Chen, was very attentive and spoke to me, so I felt at ease and enjoyed myself. She even provided Japanese guidance for the destinations on the bus just for me. Thank you so much! There isn't much time for a leisurely meal at the destination, so it's a good idea to bring food and drinks that you can consume on the bus. I don't recommend this tour for those who are not physically fit, as there is a lot of walking uphill! I think it was a cost-effective tour.

特意来夸夸导游，超级nice，会英日中三国语言，一整个全能，人很好非常照顾每位游客。司机师傅也很好很照顾我一个人，他们陪我度过了车上无聊的时光。风景很好，每个景点很绿很好看很值得一去，这个性价比还是不错，唯一注意的是不赶行程的朋友就可以选择其他的一个地点一个地点玩，比如高千穗划船什么的，这个会有些走马观花，大家介意慎重。但都想看看的很值得！

Thanks to our guide Li Hua :) She was amazing, even though I didn't speak Chinese since it was only a Chinese tour, she did her best explaining everything :) Thanks a million to our guide Li Hua. :)

Tour guide Wang Qi arranged a tight itinerary, repeatedly confirming that the crater was open, and immediately adjusted the order of the itinerary to allow travelers to complete 3 important attractions in one day. The crater, Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, and Takachiho Gorge are all unique attractions in Kyushu! I highly recommend this itinerary! Our group of 15-16 people took a small bus, and the small group made activities convenient. The team happened to be all young people, so the process was relaxed and energetic, and we returned to Hakata Station on time. This itinerary requires a lot of physical stamina; those with knee pain or the elderly may need to reconsider.

We were just a small group, thus easy to manage. The guide is energetic, approachable and polite. The trip was long but not uncomfortable. The sceneries were amazing.. I wouldn't miss for the world!

A perfect itinerary, grateful to Mount Aso for the wonderful weather. Our guide, Mr. Wang, was very experienced and changed the volcano viewing to the morning, allowing us to fortunately see the most beautiful Aso crater without strong sun or wind. In the afternoon, we went to Takachiho, and the heavy rain that had been brewing all day finally arrived late. Luckily, we had already finished visiting all the attractions, so we just quietly stayed in the pavilion waiting for the rain to stop. This also slowed down the pace of our otherwise tight schedule, making it very relaxing. The Chinese communication was perfect for us, as it was our first time visiting Kyushu.

The tour locations were perfectly organized, which was great! Even during the car rides, I enjoyed the scenery outside. It would have been difficult to visit these beautiful places alone, so it was wonderful to be able to travel easily. Most importantly, the guide was very passionate and kind, making it a very enjoyable time. They also gave many tips about traveling in Fukuoka, which helped make my trip delightful!
