Late review for a tour taken on 20 April 2026. Overall, it was a well-paced and enjoyable experience. We had a brief stop near Mt. Aso crater area for photos, followed by extended time at Kusasenri, which allowed us to explore and take in the scenery more comfortably. There was also an additional stop at a mini garden, which was a pleasant bonus.
One of the highlights of the trip was Kurokawa Onsen—truly worth visiting, and our guide shared helpful recommendations to make the most of it.
Special mention to our guide, Helen-san. She was exceptional—fluent in Mandarin, English, and Japanese, and provided detailed explanations throughout the tour. Her professionalism and thoughtful recommendations really elevated the whole experience.
