Passeios por Kurokawa Onsen

The Aso Crater, Kusasenri, Aso Shrine, and Kurokawa Onsen tour were incredibly precious times. In particular, we enjoyed the tour thanks to our guide, Tak Yeon-ji, who explained everything so well. It was great that she took photos for us at good photo spots and easily explained Japanese culture. Tak Yeon-ji is the guide I'd like to have on my next bus tour. Travelers who meet Guide Tak Yeon-ji will be lucky. Once again, thank you to Guide Tak Yeon-ji for making our trip so enjoyable.

This time, I booked the "Kumamoto Castle & Mount Aso & Kusasenri & Aso Shrine & Kurokawa Onsen" day tour through Klook, and the overall experience was fantastic! Itinerary: Being able to visit so many attractions in one day is truly great value, especially the magnificent scenery of Mount Aso and Kusasenri, which left a deep impression. The atmosphere at Kurokawa Onsen was also wonderful, making it a great place to relax. Convenience: For those who don't want to plan complicated transportation routes themselves, this type of day tour is very suitable. Having a dedicated shuttle service (including the volcano shuttle bus) saved a lot of commuting time, allowing us to focus more on enjoying the beautiful scenery. Summary: The guide/driver provided excellent service, and the pace of the tour was well-managed. This is a highly cost-effective option, recommended for travelers who want to experience the unique attractions of Kyushu in a short amount of time!

This project is a highly valuable and worthwhile itinerary. I originally read online that Kumamoto Castle might be under maintenance and closed for visitors, but fortunately, we successfully visited! The ginkgo and cherry trees are truly beautiful – the timing was just right. If you want to eat and shop, you need to pick up the pace and take fewer photos, then you'll have a chance to try the food. The tempura is super delicious and a must-try; it's sold alongside the bear-shaped cakes, and both are really tasty and cute. Aso Volcano was a pity... we couldn't visit due to the red alert, which was the only disappointment. The tour guide said it's very rare to encounter Aso Volcano on a green alert, and even the guide couldn't predict the timing. The scenery is truly beautiful, and by the way, you absolutely must bring a windbreaker! We thought it wouldn't be cold, but it was freezing. You should try the coffee, and if you want to experience buying a lucky bag in Japan, you can get one. The lucky bags contain a selection of the store's key items, so if you don't want to pick out souvenirs, you can just buy a lucky bag; there are quite a few things inside that you can give as gifts! It's excellent value for money, though it did rain a few times and disrupted things! Oh, and there's a supermarket where you should definitely buy whatever you can. Aso Musume strawberries are very popular, but they are incredibly sweet and delicious, not sour at all, with a fragrant strawberry aroma. There are also other varieties of strawberries, and the prices are all excellent!

導遊很好，所有嘢安排得很好！貼心，舒適。另外導遊的照片也拍得很好！煙花際也有很多美食🤣

Xiao Chen has a great attitude, managed the schedule perfectly, and provided excellent service.

For travelers who prefer independent travel without self-driving, joining a day tour like this is an excellent choice! Although there was no guided tour this time, the itinerary information was quite clear; the lunch arrangement (Kichijo Tofu) offered healthy and sufficiently portioned meals! Purchasing the round onsen pass at the tourist information center allowed us to freely choose two different styles of hot springs, experiencing semi-open-air onsen, which was very relaxing! There are many shops on the small street, but be sure to check if they are open on the day of your visit; finally, buying a handmade ceramic cup as a souvenir brought this Kurokawa Onsen day trip to a perfect close! The only minor drawback was that it rained that day, and there was still some residual snow on the staircases, making the wet and slippery paths a bit dangerous.

Aunque llovió por la tarde, disfruté mucho del recorrido. Erina fue muy servicial y siempre nos asistió, es amable y siempre sonríe y, por supuesto... hermosa, jeje. ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS, ERINA!👍

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! If you’re a fan of JDM culture, Fast & Furious, or just love cars, this experience is absolutely worth it. It doesn’t feel like a typical tourist tour—you really become part of the local car community. Seeing legendary cars, meeting passionate owners, driving through Tokyo at night, and visiting Daikoku PA created memories we’ll never forget. A special thank you to our driver, Timi. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from the very beginning. She made us feel comfortable, shared interesting stories, answered all our questions, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her passion for JDM culture really shows, and it made the night feel authentic and special. Thank you, Timi, and the whole Gaijin Tuned team for an unforgettable evening. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo!
