Prepektura ng Kumamoto Mga Paglilibot

We have a great time. If you go in September just have in consideration that is hot and humid. We wish we had a more time in the second stop. It felt a bit of rush, and it was such a nice spot we wish could enjoy a bit more. The Takachiho Gorge was excellent, we recommend to book with the boat ride because it was sold out. The boat was fun and fresh in the middle of a hot day. Thanks to Daisy for the explanation of every place and recommendation

I have been to Japan many times, but this was my first time choosing a one-day guided tour. First of all, a huge shout-out to my tour guide, Sun Peng—he was humorous, very responsible, and extremely professional. I enjoyed listening to his many stories and his recommendations for delicious food. Second, regarding the itinerary, each location is actually worth spending a full day at, so joining a tour feels a bit rushed. I recommend the Aso train and Kusasenri itinerary. I also really liked Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, and the shrines in Takachiho were nice as well, though the gorge tour was just so-so. Skipping the boat ride and the mini-train was a very wise choice, I think, because it was just too hot. Finally, a big shout-out to the driver. Since it coincided with a Japanese long weekend and I heard traffic was terrible, the driver skillfully avoided the worst of the congestion. Very professional.

Umalis noong Setyembre 9, 2026, at maingat na nagpaliwanag ang tour guide na si Miyamoto. Dahil sarado pa rin ang Aso Volcano (dahil sa insidente ng helicopter), pinalitan ito ng Aso Bousou Kukino Roadside Station, isang rest stop na may magandang tanawin ng Aso mountain range. Napakaganda ng tanawin. Pagkatapos, pumunta kami sa Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, na parang nasa isang eksena sa pelikula. Pagkatapos, tanghalian sa Kusasenri, isang malawak na damuhan sa bundok na may maraming kabayo at baka sa daan, napakarelaxing ng tanawin. Ang huling destinasyon ay ang Kurokawa Onsen, isang komportableng hot spring town na may masasarap na cream puffs. Sulit na sulit ang buong biyahe. Inaanyayahan din ng tour guide ang lahat na bumisita sa Kumamoto. Pagkatapos ng lindol noong Hulyo 2026, karamihan sa mga atraksyon ay bukas na at normal ang operasyon, kaya't huwag mag-alala sa pagpunta. Pagpalain ang Kumamoto! Kumamoto, laban!

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.

Sa tingin ko, napakaganda ng pagsali sa one-day tour na ito. Bukod sa napakasulit ng buy-one-take-one, binigyan pa kami ng pasalubong sa huli. Sa totoo lang, ang pinakamahalaga para sa akin ay ang hindi na kailangang mag-alala sa transportasyon. Bukod pa rito, napakapropesyonal ng tour guide. Napakahusay niya sa Ingles. Mayroon din kaming mga dayuhang turista sa aming grupo, at ang tour guide ay mabilis na nakakapagpalit mula Chinese patungong Ingles. Bukod pa rito, napakasarap pakinggan ng kanyang Ingles. Ang tanging ikinalulungkot ko ay noong panahong iyon, dahil sa lindol o kung ano pa man, sarado ang buong lugar ng nagpapalutang na noodles kaya hindi kami nakakain doon. Mayroon ding mga miyembro ng grupo na nag-kayak, at dahil sa kakulangan sa oras, nahuli sila. Pero hinintay pa rin sila ng tour guide.

Due to the earthquake in the Kyushu region, we changed the tour to Miyazaki for safety reasons. I am Korean, and the guide was fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese, so if you know a little of any of those three languages, you'll have a comfortable trip. Also, it seems like the guides are assigned randomly, but the guide I had was very kind! Oh, and since you'll be walking quite a bit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. For dining, it's a good idea to research restaurants in advance or consider bringing a packed lunch.

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.

Sumama ako sa tour para makita ang Takachiho Gorge at Aso Kusasenri, at napakasarap ng aking karanasan. Napakahusay ng pagkakaplano ng tour. Ang aming gabay, si Sun, ay may sapat na kaalaman at propesyonal; binigyan niya kami ng magandang konteksto tungkol sa lugar at mahusay kaming ginabayan sa buong araw. Napakaganda ng bangin, at napakasaya ng karanasan sa bangka. Idinagdag ko rin ang lunch package sa huling minuto at natuwa ako na ginawa ko ito, dahil napakasarap ng pagkain. Nakakita pa kami ng mga kabayo sa Kusasenri, na napakaganda. Sa kabuuan, lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito!

Since traveling around Kumamoto on foot seemed to have many limitations, I booked a one-day tour package. There wasn't a Korean-speaking guide available, so I booked a Chinese-speaking guide tour, but thanks to our guide Ningning, I felt completely included and had a very fulfilling experience! Thanks to her, my father and I made some truly wonderful memories. There were a few minor disappointments due to the local conditions at Mount Aso and the weather on the day, but that also had its own charm. (Next time I visit, I'll definitely bring waterproof sneakers!) Even in the rainy weather, it was truly impressive how warmly she looked after each and every guest, and how she meticulously took photos for us, even getting wet herself. Thank you very much! ^___^
