Coisas para fazer em Kumamoto Castle

Visitei o Castelo de Kumamoto pela segunda vez! Como esperado de um dos três grandes castelos do Japão, era grande e magnífico! Há alguns anos, um grande terremoto em Kumamoto destruiu parte do castelo, e as obras de restauração ainda estão em andamento, mas, como turista, não tive nenhum problema em visitar o Castelo de Kumamoto! E eu recomendo fortemente comprar os ingressos com antecedência no Klook! Isso porque, na entrada, as filas para comprar ingressos e para quem já comprou são separadas, e você pode entrar imediatamente mostrando o código QR ao funcionário, o que é uma grande vantagem para reduzir o tempo de espera.

We had a wonderful time on today's day tour, and I want to send a huge thank you to our tour guide, Kong. Guide Kong was attentive and enthusiastic, giving detailed explanations at every attraction. He told us what was worth focusing on, where was best to stop for photos, and even recommended local specialties while clearly explaining important tips and precautions. The itinerary included visiting the Takachiho Gorge, riding the Takachiho sightseeing train, heading to the Kusasenri grasslands, and viewing the Mount Aso volcano from a distance, where we could see smoke rising from the crater. However, it was quite foggy today with limited visibility, which was a small pity. We also visited the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine; walking up the 220 steps was a breeze, and the surrounding scenery was perfect for taking great photos. We managed to check off pretty much all the planned attractions. Overall, the trip went very smoothly. After the Kumano earthquake, the area is currently very safe and you can travel here with peace of mind. Highly recommended! 👍

Our tour guide Cho has been one of the best tour guides in our overall trip in Fukuoka - he is very much prepared (with slides and pictures!) and being a professor, he has explained the history and gave deeper meaning / history of the place on where we are heading, which we, tourist, wouldn’t know - this gives us more appreciation of the place.

It was a truly impressive trip. I was the only English speaker, but the guide. Zhu Zhu, took good care of me, ensuring I fully understood everything about the tour. The experience far exceeded my expectations.

We arrived early at the Kumamoto Station Shinkansen West Exit to meet up. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, came over to gather the group. Since we were carrying luggage and planning to leave the tour in Kurokawa, the guide proactively asked if we had already arranged our hotel pick-up and drop-off. Although we could have arranged it ourselves, he went ahead and did it for us. Since Kurokawa has multiple parking lots, as a tourist, it would have been difficult to clearly communicate the exact pick-up spot with the hotel. Thumbs up for the guide's thoughtfulness! It was a gorgeous sunny day, and every scenic spot made for great photos. As a tourist, the experience was fantastic. Guide Sun also helped take photos for everyone, kept the commentary along the way witty and humorous, took meticulous care of us, and reminded us in advance of important points to keep in mind during the sightseeing. This trip is a great one-day tour option, much more convenient than planning and executing it yourself, and I highly recommend it!

Our experience with the Kumamoto Castle & Josaien Kimono and Yukata Experience was very enjoyable overall, with the Klook booking process being smooth and convenient, making the activity easy to access and manage. The pricing feels reasonable considering both the cultural experience and the beautiful historical surroundings included. The facilities were clean, organized, and tourist-friendly, with staff assisting properly during the kimono and yukata dressing process. Staff were polite, patient, and helpful, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the activity. The highlight was walking around the Kumamoto Castle and Josaien area while wearing traditional Japanese attire, which created a very authentic and memorable atmosphere. The experience also offered great opportunities for photography and cultural immersion. Overall, it is a unique and worthwhile activity for travelers wanting to experience a traditional side of Japan.

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!

A viagem de um dia saindo de Kumamoto foi muito agradável, e encontramos um pequeno grupo de 7 pessoas. A paisagem do Santuário Kamishikimi Kumanoza é linda, a vista de Kugino é vasta e a Onsen Kurokawa também é impressionante, sendo que duas horas de estadia são mais adequadas. O guia turístico Ge Ning foi muito simpático, e o motorista também foi muito atencioso, deixando os turistas em locais mais convenientes para embarcar e desembarcar.

O itinerário desta viagem: partida do centro de Tenjin ➡️ Pudim de Flor de Sal de Itoshima ➡️ Rochas Meoto Iwa de Futamigaura ➡️ Loja de Peixe Fresco Tsukamoto ➡️ Santuário Miyajidake ➡️ Santuário Munakata. O motorista foi muito atencioso! O serviço foi muito simpático! Ele também nos recomendou um delicioso restaurante de frutos do mar, e minha família também achou a comida muito boa 👍🏽 O carro estava limpo e arrumado, e toda a viagem foi muito tranquila e perfeita 💯
