Passeios por Kusasenri

Tivemos uma experiência maravilhosa no passeio pelo desfiladeiro de Takachiho! A paisagem era absolutamente linda, especialmente o desfiladeiro de Takachiho e o Monte Aso. Nossa guia turística, Nicole, foi incrível e muito conhecedores. O passeio foi muito bem organizado e nós realmente gostamos de explorar os diferentes locais. Com certeza foi uma experiência memorável e altamente recomendada!

Um dia de passeio maravilhoso. O Monte Aso é incrivelmente lindo, fazendo jus à fama de ser a cidade natal de Misae Nohara. O Santuário Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu é perfeito para fotos. Já visitei várias cidades de fontes termais, mas Kurokawa Onsen tem um charme único e especial. À beira do rio, há banhos termais públicos (masculino e feminino) por duzentos ienes no sistema de autoatendimento, onde é possível apreciar a vista do rio e o som relaxante da água. Faço questão de elogiar o guia turístico Sun Peng, que é super animado e manteve todos rindo o caminho todo, assim como cada membro da turma: educados e pontuais, fomos os primeiros a sair e os primeiros a chegar aos pontos turísticos, garantindo uma experiência excelente. Por fim, desejo que o professor Sun consiga guiar a cantora Stefanie Sun logo, haha! Comentário extra: O pudim para adultos de Minamiaso é realmente muito gostoso! Finalmente entendi por que se chama pudim para adultos: leva rum na receita, o que confere um sabor único e surpreendente.

Passeio muito bem planejado, não nos sentimos com pressa e tivemos a sorte de ver todas as atrações com um clima ótimo. Nosso guia foi o Kevin e não poderíamos ter pedido um melhor; ele tem um ótimo senso de humor, explicações excelentes e é muito responsável em garantir que todos sejam bem cuidados. É um dos melhores passeios de um dia que você pode fazer se tiver um dia livre na região de Fukuoka para curtir a natureza! (Mas com certeza verifique a previsão do tempo primeiro!)

Nunca tinha vindo a Kumamoto, mas por causa deste passeio de um dia, pude conhecer profundamente a cidade, incluindo as explicações do guia no ônibus sobre o Kumamon e as fontes de água preciosas e únicas de Kumamoto! O que ele dizia no ônibus não era nada monótono, e até mesmo emocionante. O guia Sun Peng nos alertava sobre o que não comprar para evitar armadilhas, e até disse que, como as lembranças do Kumamon na montanha não são isentas de impostos, era melhor comprarmos apenas os produtos exclusivos de lá, e deixar para comprar o restante na loja duty-free ao pé da montanha! Super sincero, dá realmente para sentir que eles se dedicam de verdade a promover o turismo em Kumamoto, e não apenas a lucrar com os turistas. Se puderem escolher, por favor peçam pelo guia Sun Peng! Também recomendo muito que considerem o meu roteiro: voar direto para Kumamoto, passar o primeiro dia explorando, comendo e fazendo compras na galeria comercial Shimotori, e escolher se hospedar em um hotel perto da Estação de Kumamoto, já que o ponto de encontro para o passeio de um dia é bem cedo dentro da estação. No segundo dia, é só acordar e ir caminhando até a estação para o passeio. Ao terminar, você pode jantar ali mesmo na estação. Além disso, o shopping ao lado tem Uniqlo e GU, onde dá para fazer compras à vontade sem pegar filas (em Fukuoka você ficaria louco de fila, mas em Kumamoto é super tranquilo e rápido para pagar!). Depois das compras, vá comer o tonkatsu e o camarão empanado do Katsuretsutei, recomendado pelo guia no último andar do shopping. Super recomendo! Ministro Kumamon, por favor, aumente o salário do Sun Peng, ele é demais! Me apaixonei por Kumamoto por causa desta viagem 😍

I did the tour to see Takachiho Gorge and Aso Kusasenri, and I had a fantastic time. The tour was incredibly well-organized. Our guide, Sun, was knowledgeable and professional; he gave us great context about the area and guided us exceptionally well throughout the day. The gorge was beautiful, and the boat experience was so much fun. I also added the lunch package at the last minute and was really glad I did, because the food was delicious. We even got to see horses at Kusasenri, which was very cool. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

It was my first time in Kumamoto, and I was so lucky to have tour guide Yin Delong! Our guide was incredibly thoughtful and responsible, patiently explaining everything from attraction details and transportation methods to even the smallest nuances. I was particularly impressed when the guide personally drew maps for us, making it much clearer how to get around; it truly showed their dedication. The driver also had excellent driving skills! Although our trip encountered rain, attraction renovations, and fog at Kusasenri, Yin Delong was still very patient in assisting us and helped resolve any unexpected issues. Thank you for saying we can contact you with any questions about Kyushu in the future. I hope to have the chance to join your tour again on my next visit to Kyushu!

one of the best tours I have ever been to! the tour goes to all of the must see spots in Miyazaki! the Gorge was absolutely beautiful! i also really loved the Aso Grass land. it was very foggy which created a ghibli vibe right out of the Howls Moving Castle movie. our guide was absolutely amazing! she pointed us to all of the best spots and photo opportunities. the tour ended with the opportunity to try horse meat at an absolutely delicious shop- and local secret.

We spotted tour guide Nana's flag first thing in the morning. She was sweet and extremely dedicated, and she didn't waste any time talking when it was time for us to rest and catch up on sleep! Her Mandarin and English were both fluent, so there were zero communication barriers. Since I easily get motion sick, I had added a note requesting a front-seat before joining the tour, and they saved a seat for me. The scenery along the entire way was truly gorgeous, and everywhere we went had a wonderful, comfortable energy. Because we joined the Takachiho Gorge boating activity, our schedule required precise timing. As soon as we arrived at Takachiho Gorge, Nana gave instructions on the meeting time and place for those not boating, and then rushed forward with the nine of us who were participating in the boating activity! It turns out that boating time is limited, and failing to return within the designated time results in extra fees charged by the boat rental shop! The boats are not the easiest to steer, but it is a lot of fun. I highly recommend trying it out if you aren't traveling with very young children or elderly family members—since you're already there, you might as well! I highly recommend this tour and am very grateful to our guide, Nana, for giving us such a wonderful day! By the way, the mango shaved ice has very poor value for the money, so skip it! The soft-serve ice cream should be worth a try, though!

A perfect nature trip to Kyushu, thanks to our guide Nanami! We just finished our trip to Kumamoto and Miyazaki, and I can't wait to write this glowing review. The itinerary for this tour group was wonderfully designed, perfectly combining natural wonders with cultural experiences. In Aso, we saw one of the world's largest active volcanoes, and the feeling of the Earth's pulse was unforgettable; we walked on the vast grasslands of Kusasenri, experiencing a completely different sense of openness and tranquility; and the boat ride through Takachiho Gorge was the highlight of the entire trip, as if we had entered a mythical world. The "soul" of all these wonderful experiences was none other than our guide, Nanami. She is a very professional and passionate person: 1. Knowledgeable: She knows the history and culture of Kyushu, its geological formations, and local specialties like the back of her hand, explaining everything in a lively and interesting way. She helped us not only see the scenery but also understand the stories behind it. 2. Bilingual Communication: There were many foreign friends in the group, and she served everyone throughout the trip in fluent Chinese and English, taking care of every member. Communication was completely barrier-free, which was very thoughtful. 3. Warm and Attentive: She always had a bright smile, carefully looked after the elderly and children in the group, and helped everyone solve various problems, just like a reliable older sister. Because of Nanami, this trip was full of warmth and memories. I highly recommend it to friends planning a trip to Kyushu! I look forward to meeting her again on our next trip.
