Passeios por Kurokawa Onsen

Saída em 09/09/2026. O guia Miyamoto deu explicações detalhadas e atenciosas. Como o Monte Aso está fechado no momento (devido a um acidente de helicóptero), o itinerário foi alterado para a estação de estrada Michi-no-Eki Aso Bouchu Kugino, um ponto de parada com uma vista panorâmica deslumbrante da cadeia de montanhas Aso e belas paisagens. Em seguida, visitamos o Santuário Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu, que parece cenário de filme. Ao meio-dia, chegamos a Kusasenri para o almoço, cercados por vastas pastagens nas montanhas, com vários cavalos e vacas pelo caminho, proporcionando uma paisagem extremamente relaxante. O último destino foi Kurokawa Onsen, uma charmosa e aconchegante cidade de fontes termais, onde também experimentamos deliciosas carolinas (cream puffs). A viagem inteira vale muito a pena. O guia também convidou todos a visitarem Kumamoto; após o terremoto de julho de 2026, a maioria das atrações já está funcionando normalmente, então podem vir com tranquilidade. Que Deus abençoe Kumamoto! Força, Kumamoto!

I participated in a day trip to Kumamoto's Aso Volcano and Kurokawa Onsen. I was a bit nervous traveling alone, but thanks to our very kind guide, Mr. Son, who looked out for me, I was able to relax and enjoy myself, making it a wonderful day. Although we couldn't get close to Aso Volcano due to an incident, the magnificent scenery of Mount Aso was truly breathtaking. The pink Miyama Kirishima flowers were in full bloom and looked beautiful. At Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, I walked along a mystical mountain path to worship, and then felt a sense of rejuvenation and power at the nearby Hokedo-iwa rock. At Kurokawa Onsen, I thoroughly enjoyed the skin-beautifying hot springs and was very satisfied with the onsen tamago (hot spring eggs). This tour is highly recommended for experiencing Kumamoto's nature, hot springs, and the warmth of its people. I've grown to love Kumamoto even more, and it has become my "another sky."

Although the guide primarily provides information in Chinese, if you can speak a little Japanese or English, there won't be any issues with the itinerary. They even used a translator and made a tremendous effort to communicate. We were very grateful. I tried to close the air conditioning vent on the bus, but one side of the plastic was broken, so it couldn't be fully closed. While this was a minor inconvenience, I don't think it's significant enough to negatively impact the overall rating. It seems that the parking lot at Kusasenri, or whatever that rest stop is called, gets quite congested if you drive there, as there are often no available spaces. I think taking the bus and enjoying a more comfortable journey is a better option.

Our guide for the day was Nana, who provided enthusiastic service, detailed explanations, and seamlessly switched between Chinese, Japanese, and English. She was also very thoughtful and helped us communicate with the hotel we booked in Kurokawa. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery along the way, which helped us better understand Aso ❤️ The entire travel itinerary was perfectly arranged. The schedule was well-balanced without being too rushed. Every destination we visited impressed me greatly. I really enjoyed this wonderful trip and would highly recommend our tour guide, Nana.

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.

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!

Amazing day trip to Mount Aso! Everything was perfectly organized with great planning and timing, we even managed to stay ahead of other tour groups, which made the experience feel much more relaxed and enjoyable. Our guide, Daisy Wu, was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive. She made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the day. The itinerary was well balanced, allowing us to see beautiful spots without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour if you want a smooth, efficient, and memorable experience!

great guide she made sure to give us all the details and history of the attractions and gave lot of time for us to explore!

The one-day tour from Kumamoto was very pleasant, and we were part of a small group of 7 people. The scenery at Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine was beautiful, the views in Kugino were expansive, and Kurokawa Onsen was also impressive; two hours there felt just right. Our tour guide, Ge Ning, was very friendly, and the driver was also thoughtful, dropping off and picking up passengers at convenient locations.
