Coisas para fazer em Prefeitura de Kumamoto

We had a great time. If you go in September, just keep in mind that it's hot and humid. We wish we had more time at the second stop. It felt a bit rushed, and it was such a nice spot we wished we could have enjoyed it a bit more. The Takachiho Gorge was excellent; we recommend booking the boat ride because it was sold out. The boat was fun and refreshing in the middle of a hot day. Thanks to Daisy for the explanations and recommendations for every place.

来日本很多次，第一次选择一日游跟团。首先，夸夸我的导～孙鹏老师，很幽默，也很负责，很专业。听他讲了很多故事，也安利了很多好吃的。其次，说下这次行程，其实每个点位都值得单独待一天，跟团就是比较赶。推荐阿苏火车草千里的行程，也很喜欢上色见野熊座神社，高千穗的神社也是不错的，但峡谷之旅就一般了.没有体验游船和小火车，我觉得很明智，因为太热了。最后，夸夸司机。因为撞上了日本的连休，听说很堵车，但司机师傅基本上错峰了，很专业。

Departing on September 9, 2026, tour guide Miyamoto provided attentive and detailed explanations. As Mount Aso is currently closed due to a helicopter accident, the itinerary was changed to the Michi-no-Eki Aso Boucho Kugino, a rest stop with a stunning panoramic view of the Aso mountain range. Afterwards, we visited Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, which felt like being inside a movie scene. At noon, we arrived at Kusasenri for lunch, surrounded by vast mountain grasslands where many horses and cows roam along the road—a deeply relaxing landscape. The final stop was Kurokawa Onsen, a cozy and pleasant hot spring town that also offers delicious cream puffs. The entire tour is well worth experiencing, and the tour guide welcomes everyone to Kumamoto. Most attractions have been operating normally following the earthquake in July 2026, so everyone can visit with peace of mind. God bless Kumamoto! Stay strong, Kumamoto!

하나의 가장 최고의 투어 중 하나였습니다! 미야자키의 꼭 가봐야 할 명소들을 모두 방문합니다! 협곡은 정말 아름다웠습니다! 아소 초원도 정말 마음에 들었습니다. 안개가 자욱해서 마치 《하울의 움직이는 성》 영화에서 튀어나온 듯한 지브리 감성을 자아냈습니다. 가이드분도 정말 훌륭하셨습니다! 최고의 명소들과 포토 스폿들을 모두 짚어주셨습니다. 투어의 마지막에는 현지인들만의 숨은 맛집인 아주 맛있는 가게에서 말고기를 맛볼 수 있는 기회가 있었습니다.

I think this one-day tour was fantastic. Not to mention how great the buy-one-get-one-free deal was, and they even gave us souvenirs at the end. But I think the most important thing was not having to worry about transportation. Also, I found the tour guide to be very professional; his English was excellent. We had foreign tourists on our tour, and the guide could instantly switch from Chinese to English, and his English was very pleasant to listen to. The only regret was that the flowing noodles area was closed due to an earthquake or something, so we didn't get to try them, which was a bit of a pity. Some group members also went boating and were late due to time constraints, but the guide still waited for them.

Due to the Kyushu earthquake, the tour was changed to a Miyazaki tour for safety reasons. I am Korean, and the guide was fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese, so if you know a little of one of these three languages, you should be able to travel comfortably. Also, it seems the guide is random, but the guide I had was very kind! Oh, and since you walk quite a lot, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and looking up restaurants in advance or bringing a packed lunch.

I had booked this tour led by guide Nana, but since I was staying overnight in Kumamoto that evening, I realized right before departure that it didn't quite fit my schedule. Guide Nana immediately helped me switch to a more suitable tour led by guide Zhou. It poured rain on the day of the tour, but guide Zhou thoughtfully looked after all the team members the entire way. She was enthusiastic and cheerful, bringing laughter wherever we went. When an American joined the group as we left Kumamoto Castle, guide Zhou took turns explaining everything in both Chinese and English all the way. Listening to her native-sounding English introduction was also a treat. Finally, when we were about to leave, guide Zhou asked the driver to drop us off right at the station entrance so we wouldn't get soaked in the rain while pulling our luggage. In short, I am very grateful to the two enthusiastic guides I met this time. Even though it was a rainy day, my heart was filled with sunshine the whole way.

This experience was wonderful, we were able to catch dolphins diving and the captain of the boat would drive around until we’d find dolphins. Great for wildlife photography and a new experience!

I visited Kumamoto Castle for the second time! As expected of one of Japan's three great castles, it was large and magnificent! A few years ago, a major earthquake in Kumamoto destroyed parts of the castle, and restoration work is still ongoing, but from a tourist's perspective, there were no issues touring Kumamoto Castle! I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance through Klook! This is because at the entrance, there are separate lines for buying tickets and for those who pre-purchased tickets. If you show the staff your QR code, you can enter immediately, which greatly reduces waiting time!
