Coisas para fazer em Kusasenri

Had a wonderful experience on the Takachiho Gorge tour! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, especially Takachiho Gorge and Mount Aso. Our tour guide, Nicole was amazing and knowledgeable. The tour was well-organised, and we really enjoyed exploring the different locations. Definitely a memorable experience and highly recommended!

A wonderful day trip! Mount Aso is overwhelmingly beautiful—truly fitting as Misae Nohara's hometown. Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine is extremely photogenic. Having visited many hot spring towns, Kurokawa Onsen also has its own unique charm. By the river, there are 200-yen self-service open-air baths for men and women, where you can enjoy river views and the gentle sound of flowing water. Special shout-out to our tour guide, Mr. Sun Peng, who was incredibly entertaining and kept us laughing the whole way. Also, kudos to every member of the group for being well-mannered and punctual—we were the first to depart and the first to arrive at every attraction, making for a truly fantastic experience. Finally, wishing Mr. Sun good luck in guiding Stefanie Sun someday, hahaha! Ramble: The Adult Pudding in South Aso is seriously amazing! Now I finally know why it's called Adult Pudding—it's made with rum, giving it a very unique and wonderfully surprising texture.

Passeio muito bem planejado, não nos sentimos apressados e tivemos a sorte de ver todos os pontos turísticos com um ótimo clima. Nosso guia turístico foi o Kevin e não poderíamos ter pedido um melhor; ele tem um ótimo senso de humor, explicações claras e é muito responsável para garantir que todos sejam bem cuidados. É um dos melhores passeios de um dia que você pode fazer se tiver um dia livre na área de Fukuoka para experimentar a natureza! (Mas definitivamente verifique o clima primeiro!)

Having never been to Kumamoto before, this day tour gave me a deep understanding of the city. The tour guide even shared stories on the bus about Kumamoto Castle, Kumamoto Prefecture's mascot, and its precious, unique water sources! The commentary on the bus was far from boring; in fact, it was quite touching. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, even gave us friendly tips on what not to buy to avoid traps. He mentioned that since souvenirs on the mountain are not tax-free, we should only buy items unique to the mountain and save other purchases for the tax-free shops at the bottom!! It was so conscientious. You could really feel their dedication to promoting Kumamoto's tourism rather than just trying to make money off tourists. If you have a choice, I strongly request tour guide Sun Peng! I also highly recommend looking into my itinerary: fly into Kumamoto, spend the first day exploring, shopping, and eating around the Shimotori shopping arcade, and stay at a hotel near Kumamoto Station since the day tour meets very early right inside the station. On the second day, you can just walk to the station to join the tour. When the day tour ends, you can dine right at the station. Plus, the adjacent department store has both Uniqlo and GU, allowing you to shop to your heart's content without waiting in long lines (Fukuoka can get crazy, but Kumamoto is so smooth and quick at checkout!). After shopping, you can head upstairs in the department store to try the Katsuretsu-tei tonkatsu and fried shrimp recommended by our guide. I truly recommend it! Kumamoto Prefecture's mascot should give Sun Peng a raise—he is amazing! This itinerary made me fall in love with Kumamoto 😍

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!

Uma viagem perfeita pela natureza de Kyushu, graças à nossa guia Nanami! Acabei de terminar minha viagem por Kumamoto e Miyazaki e mal posso esperar para escrever esta ótima avaliação. O itinerário desta excursão foi excelentemente planejado, combinando perfeitamente maravilhas naturais com experiências culturais. Em Aso, vimos um dos maiores vulcões ativos do mundo, e a sensação do pulso da Terra foi inesquecível; caminhamos pelas vastas pastagens de Kusasenri, sentindo uma amplitude e tranquilidade completamente diferentes; e o passeio de barco pelo Desfiladeiro de Takachiho foi o ponto alto de toda a viagem, como se tivéssemos entrado em um mundo mítico. E a "alma" de todas essas experiências maravilhosas foi nossa guia, Nanami. Ela é uma pessoa muito profissional e cheia de entusiasmo: 1. Conhecimento: Ela conhece a história e a cultura de Kyushu, a formação geológica e os produtos locais especiais como a palma da sua mão, explicando tudo de forma vívida e interessante, o que nos permitiu não apenas ver a paisagem, mas também entender as histórias por trás dela. 2. Comunicação bilíngue: Havia muitos amigos estrangeiros no grupo, e ela nos atendeu fluentemente em chinês e inglês durante toda a viagem, cuidando de cada membro sem barreiras de comunicação, o que foi muito atencioso. 3. Entusiasmada e atenciosa: Ela estava sempre com um sorriso radiante, cuidando cuidadosamente dos idosos e crianças do grupo, ajudando a resolver vários problemas, como uma irmã confiável. Por causa de Nanami, esta viagem foi cheia de calor e memórias. Recomendo fortemente a amigos que planejam viajar para Kyushu! Espero encontrá-la novamente na próxima viagem.
