Excursão de um dia ao Monte Aso em Kyushu: Trem Aso Boy, Castelo de Kumamoto, Kusasenri, Cratera do Monte Aso, Santuário Kamishikimi Kumanoza, Onsen Kurokawa (partindo de Fukuoka/Kumamoto)

We really like our guide Carson!! He asked about our preferred language when we first met, since my Chinese speaking skills are pretty bad lol so we were gonna talk to him in English but surprisingly he could speak Cantonese as well! during the intros he would speak in Chinese and English (we could understand both) and if we had any questions we could use Cantonese which was just perfect. I really liked the mountains and had time to do some shopping and take photos. I personally don’t really enjoy onsens but I was happy to see a chubby cat there and those unique buildings. Carson also reminded us about snakes because it was the first sunny day after days of raining. Carson was very helpful and full of information, we really liked him as our guide which was one of the main reasons we trusted this company and went on another trip.

Our tour guide, Ada, was very accommodating and gracious despite being a few minutes late during meet-up. She also made sure that I did not miss out on any activities by asking if I wanted to go to a specific place or try doing an onsen bath. She also explained clearly why we are not able to go to Mt Aso and suggested an alternative instead. Apart from that, the combination of places that we went to were really amazing! My faves were the Kamishikimi shrine and Kurokawa onsen. I really wish we had more time at the shrine though - the vibe of that place was just magical • Overall, the tour the was very worth it for its price. Highy recommend!!

Ada was truly amazing. She was knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we had. She made everything very easy for everyone and ensured everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Ada if you have a similar tour.

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! 👍

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.

This activity route was really well planned! I got to see many beautiful spots near Kumamoto, such as Mount Aso, Kamishikimi Shrine, and Kusasenri. Our tour guide, Wu Shan, was very friendly. Although it was a bit of a shame that the time given for Kusasenri was a little short (1 hour to eat, shop for souvenirs, and explore Kusasenri), I still enjoyed myself and made friends with the people in the same tour group.

Our family enjoyed the tour a lot. All the places that we went to were breathtaking. Our tour guide Chao was also amazing. He was really nice and gave very informative details about the places that we went to. The tour guide and the tour are highly recommended.

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.

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.

We truly enjoyed the Kamishikimi – Mt. Aso – Kusasenri – Kurokawa Onsen tour. Our guide, Ms. Yang, was incredibly kind and spoke excellent English. She generously shared all the best spots and restaurant recommendations, and she was always polite and respectful throughout the trip. She even gave each of us a small token, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. Our driver was also highly skilled and made us feel safe the entire time. 👏 Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience!
