Prehliadky Takachiho Gorge

Our guide today was Jimmy, and we cannot thank him enough for his excellent service! Everything was efficient, clear and straightforward. His briefings on the bus allowed us more free time to explore each destination on our own. Even when he wasn't accompanying us, he thoughtfully reminded us of the important signs and directions to look out for so we wouldn't lose our way. Such thoughtfulness and attention to detail made our experience so much more enjoyable. Truly one of the best guides we've had so far! Highly recommended!

Tour guide Cho reminded us of the meeting time the day before and was already waiting at the meeting point early on the morning of the tour. After check-in, we were told the license plate number so we could board the bus, and the whole process was very smooth. Along the way, explanations of local features and mythological stories were provided alternately in Mandarin and English, along with various helpful tips. The meeting time and place for each stop were clearly communicated. The entire itinerary went smoothly; the tour guide had a soft voice and a constant smile 👍🏻👍🏻 As for the attractions, Takachiho is truly a beautiful and relaxing place, and the optional small train is well worth it. Although walking up and down the Takachiho Gorge at the end was a bit tiring, this entire trip was an overall wonderful experience!

This was a tour I took with my parents. I was worried the schedule might be a bit too tight, but we were able to take our time exploring at a relaxed pace, and my parents had no trouble at all. In particular, our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, was truly exceptionally kind and gave fantastic explanations, making the tour even more satisfying. Our driver was also skilled, so we were able to travel without any motion sickness. Thanks to everyone, we were able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Dokonalý prírodný výlet po Kjúšú, vďaka sprievodkyni Nanami! Práve som dokončil cestu po Kumamoto a Mijazaki a už sa neviem dočkať, kedy napíšem túto skvelú recenziu. Trasa tohto zájazdu bola navrhnutá vynikajúco, dokonale spájala prírodné divy s kultúrnymi zážitkami. V Aso sme videli jeden z najväčších aktívnych kráterov na svete, ten pocit pulzujúcej Zeme bol nezabudnuteľný; prechádzali sme sa po rozsiahlych trávnatých pláňach Kusasenri a zažili úplne iný pocit priestrannosti a pokoja; plavba loďou v rokline Takachiho bola vrcholom celej cesty, akoby sme vstúpili do mytologického sveta. A „dušou“ všetkých týchto nádherných zážitkov nebol nikto iný ako naša sprievodkyňa, sestra Nanami. Je to veľmi profesionálna a nadšená osoba: 1. Vedomostne bohatá: Má rozsiahle znalosti o histórii a kultúre Kjúšú, geologických formáciách a miestnych špecialitách, jej výklad bol živý a zaujímavý, vďaka čomu sme nielen videli scenériu, ale aj pochopili príbehy za ňou. 2. Dvojjazyčná komunikácia: V skupine bolo veľa zahraničných priateľov a ona im počas celej cesty slúžila plynulou čínštinou a angličtinou, starala sa o každého člena, komunikácia bola úplne bezbariérová, veľmi ohľaduplná. 3. Nadšená a pozorná: Vždy sa usmievala, starostlivo sa starala o starších ľudí a deti v skupine, pomáhala všetkým riešiť rôzne problémy, rovnako ako spoľahlivá sestra. Vďaka sestre Nanami bola táto cesta plná tepla a spomienok. Vrelo odporúčam priateľom, ktorí plánujú cestu na Kjúšú! Teším sa na ďalšie stretnutie na budúcej ceste.

Be ready to count your steps here! Nature vibes and a little bit of downhill/uphill walk. Still, the view was worth it ✨️❤️ Would recommend to book with lunch. We didn't expect it to have such quality meat for the price. It was really a surprise, glad we availed it 😊

Aiko-san was a wonderful guide for this tour. Miyazaki is a bit far from Hakata, but the ride was so comfortable. I loved riding the Amaterasu railway and the Takachiho Gorge was incredible! Every shot I had of the Gorge looked like a postcard! It is definitely one of Japan's best places to visit. The cafe near Amanoyasukawara has lovely food too. I would book this again, this was a fantastic experience.

My husband and I decided to book this tour because finding tickets to Takachiho Gorge on our own had been quite challenging. At first, we were a little hesitant since we only speak English and the tour was conducted in Chinese. However, from the very first moment we met our guide, Miya, all our concerns. Despite the language barrier, he did his very best to keep us updated on everything happening during the tour, and her kindness truly made a difference. We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Kyushu, from the breathtaking Aso volcano to the magical Takachiho Gorge, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to visit this part of Japan. We also got to discover beautiful places, shrines, and experiences that made the day even more special. The tour itself was fantastic, but what truly made it exceptional was our guide. A great itinerary can take you to beautiful places, but a wonderful guide can turn the experience into something unforgettable.

Traveling with the tour was very convenient. The guide took good care of us and provided great recommendations, allowing us to visit a variety of places in just one day. For those who prefer not to rent a car and drive, having 2 hours at the Takachiho Gorge, including the round-trip walk, was more than enough time. In the afternoon, we visited Mt. Aso. Even though the crater was closed, we were able to see the views up close at two different spots. Kusasenri offered beautiful scenery, though 1 hour might be a bit tight for sightseeing, having a meal, and shopping for souvenirs. Overall, it was a very worthwhile and convenient experience with everything covered, including a stop at a service area along the way.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Aiko, who was friendly, helpful, and able to communicate fluently in both English and Mandarin. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. A special thanks to her for helping all of us order lunch, which made things so much easier and more enjoyable for everyone. Her thoughtful gesture of giving us small gifts at the end of the trip was a lovely surprise and a sweet way to end our journey. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. A big thank you also to our driver for providing a safe, smooth, and comfortable journey throughout the trip. Both of you made our trip more enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended, and thank you for taking such good care of us! 😊
