Despite the rainy weather, the day trip to Mount Aso, Takachiho, and Kumano Shrine was a very good overall experience. Our guide, EIICHI, was very dedicated throughout the journey, providing explanations and introductions in both languages, allowing us to understand local Japanese culture even on a day trip. He was also very friendly and considerate towards elderly travelers, constantly reminding them to be careful and suggesting places to rest. The overall atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable, and there was ample time at each attraction to walk around, explore, and take photos. The driver also drove safely and smoothly, making the ride comfortable and allowing for good rest without motion sickness.
