Cratera do Monte Aso, Kusasenri, Santuário Kamishikimi Kumanoza, Onsen Kurokawa (partindo de Fukuoka/Kumamoto)

This tour was truly, truly, truly satisfying! I came on this trip in a hurry and didn't have time to research anything, so I booked it last minute the night before the tour. The itinerary was so fulfilling, and our guide, Aiko-san, was wonderful :) Although there wasn't a Korean-speaking guide, she guided us in English, which made it very comfortable and easy to understand. Next time, I'd love to book the same tour and come with my parents! If I had gone alone, the Shinkansen fare and other transportation costs would have easily exceeded 150,000 won, but it was great to visit all the places I wanted at such a reasonable price.

The meeting points were very convenient, and tour guide Xiao Wang meticulously assisted every tourist. The journey was long, so four attractions were already sufficient, not too many. We had enough time to climb to the top of Aso Shrine and take photos. The weather in April is often cloudy and rainy, making the shrine and forest appear like a mystical fairyland. Aso Mountain was closed due to heavy fog, so we could only view it from a distance at Kusasenri and have our meal there. Tour guide Xiao Wang provided detailed explanations on how to order and pick up food. Both rice and miso soup were all-you-can-eat. The horse sashimi rice bowl was delicious, and Xiao Wang also recommended the milk from Aso Farm. Finally, we arrived at Kurokawa Onsen, with enough time to enjoy a foot bath and a beauty bath. After giving us free onsen eggs, Xiao Wang recommended an affordable hot spring for bathing, where 20-30 minutes was plenty. We also quickly walked through the onsen town beforehand. Xiao Wang provided everyone with a lot of important information.

My first group tour experience was truly special. Thanks to the tour, I finally got to visit Kusasenri, a place I've wanted to see for a long time. Our guide, Sun Peng, meticulously introduced each attraction, along with the unique characteristics and history of Kumamoto. He also helped everyone take photos at each spot, and the pictures turned out beautifully – I love them! Every place was genuinely stunning, filled with abundant nature. I highly recommend this one-day tour for solo travelers or those who prefer not to drive themselves; it's very convenient. Although we couldn't get close to Mount Aso due to recent news, the observatory recommended by our guide at Kusasenri offered a breathtaking distant view of Mount Aso and a panoramic overlook of Kusasenri itself. It was truly magnificent! Even though our stay was only about an hour, it was incredibly worthwhile and highly recommended! 👍

Everything was going very well on this trip. We went to Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine and the experience was magical. After that, we went to Mount Aso and were fortunate to be allowed to go near the crater, even though there was quite a lot of activity there. Right after we took photos, we were told to leave immediately. Afterward, we went for lunch, and along the way, we saw Mount Kusasenri. We had horse sashimi for lunch and bought Aso milk, which was yummy! Lastly, we went to Kurokawa Onsen town, and the town is so quaint and lovely. We were able to have such a great, magical time because of our guide, who gave us tips along the way on what to do, etc. We also enjoyed hard-boiled eggs from him too.

Whether you are taking the original one-day tour of Kyushu or planning to visit Kurokawa Onsen, booking this tour is very cost-effective and convenient, as the travel cost to Kurokawa itself is quite high and transportation is not very convenient. Our tour guide Alex is also super nice. Along the way, he helped everyone solve many problems and thoughtfully prepared some PDF introductions for everyone. There were explanations in both Chinese and English all the way, so there is no need to worry at all. For those traveling to Kurokawa Onsen, he also proactively helped arrange hotel pick-up and drop-off. Since we had also booked an afternoon bus from Kurokawa to Kumamoto, he kept an eye on our movements, worried that we might miss the bus (since there are only three trips a day), and even waited with us for a while in Kurokawa. It was a pity that we couldn't see the Aso crater that day, but Alex specially applied for us to visit a niche attraction with hundreds of gardens of various shapes, which was super interesting and we could even see little deer. The biggest reason for booking this tour was to visit the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine to check in at the spot featured in Hotarubi no Mori e, and we were truly satisfied in the end (though there were quite a few people). The light and shadows were absolutely stunning. The maple leaves at Kurokawa Onsen were truly healing, although there were quite a few bugs. The whole day's itinerary was very perfect. It was just a little bit rushed, but there's no way around that considering the long distances.

Tour guide Sun was truly fantastic. Along the way, he enthusiastically explained the itinerary and introduced Kumamoto's history and everything else, keeping things lively and engaging from start to finish without a single dull moment. As you may know, it doesn't snow very often in Kyushu, but we were fortunate enough to experience it. To ensure everyone on the day tour wouldn't be disappointed, our guide adjusted the order of the itinerary so we could wait for the Mount Aso ropeway and viewing areas to open. We were lucky enough to wait it out and capture the moments below. At minus 10 degrees Celsius with strong winds, it is truly freezing, so be sure to protect your ears and neck, wear a windproof and waterproof jacket, and ideally waterproof shoes to keep yourself from getting too cold.

一日遊的導遊柳桑Jimmy經驗豐富，友善，專業，也貼心地先在車上介紹注意事項，當地禮儀，尊重當地的文化和傳統，推薦觀光路線，讓我們可以下車後輕鬆行逛。一日遊的路線和行程安排時間控制都非常好。由於當晚會於黑川溫泉住宿，柳桑更主動問旅館地址，幫忙找路以及提出可以幫忙聯繫旅館送迎。了解了福岡到黑川溫泉的九州橫斷巴士都不便宜，這個行程還可以去秘境神社，阿蘇火山和草千里，性價比好高。超級滿意！

잘 organized된 당일 투어입니다. 최근 사고(헬기 추락)로 인해 아소산 분화구 가까이 갈 수 없어 아쉽지만, 대신 아름다운 아소산맥 경치로 안내해 주셨습니다. 일찍 출발한 덕분에 우리 일행만이 그곳을 여유롭게 즐길 수 있었습니다. 차를 타고 지나가던 일부 행인들도 그림 같은 풍경을 사진에 담기 위해 잠시 멈추는 것을 보았습니다. 참고로 이 투어를 원하시는 분들은 대부분 고지대이거나 언덕이 많고 많이 걸어야 하므로 체력 준비를 하시는 것이 좋습니다. 다행히 날씨가 좋아 정말 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다. 게다가 투어 가이드분이 정말 친절하시고 저희가 사진 촬영을 부탁할 때마다 기꺼이 응해주셨습니다. 감사합니다.

Our guide was Daisy and she was the sweetest! She provided so much information about the places and more, what should you buy and where, food recommondation and everything. Kusasenari and Aso Cater Area is wild and windy, Kamishikimi is..out of the world, it's not real and Kurokawa Onsen is beautiful, I highly recommand a short bath time there. This trip is a must and worth every penny.

The tour was great and well organized, but the best praise should go to our tour guide (Ada) because the bus was packed with people and the itinerary is intense. Most people spoke Mandarin and very few English speakers attended today, but she managed the situations really well and gave us tips and shortcuts. I didn’t feel like a solo traveler at all. She was there for photos and advice.
