Takachiho Gorge mga tour

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

it’s a very good experience and easy to get into the place with lots of fun knowledge. the tour guide arranged the timing well and didn’t waste any of the time waiting anything. so I will highly recommend to join the tour if you don’t want to drive yourself from other places.

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.

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.

Kevin is such a great guide and was super entertaining and enthusiastic in making us laugh and enjoying the trip! All instructions were clear and enough time was set for each activity. He was very kind as well and got us gifts to take home as souvenirs, thank you so much:) Our only comment is that upon booking, we initially thought that the Row Boating would be the 1st activity and there was no rain then. However, we did the shrine first and by the time we wanted to do the boating, unfortunately due to the weather and the water being too high, we couldn’t anymore. We understand that this is unpredictable and not at all his fault but perhaps especially when it’s sunny out, that could be the first activity as planned. Overall, would definitely recommend Kevin and his tours, super enjoyable and memorable. Thank you!

The overall experience of this trip was fantastic! Tour guide Fan is extremely fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English, so communication was a breeze. Furthermore, he is very kind and attentively cared for every traveler along the way. The itinerary was well-organized, the introductions to each attraction were very detailed, and departure times were always announced in advance, allowing everyone to follow the schedule with peace of mind. The driver was also very dedicated, making the entire bus ride comfortable. All the sights this time were beautiful, and I especially loved Takachiho Gorge. The natural scenery, shrines, and outdoor activities along the way were truly relaxing, and the lunch was delicious as well. The overall pace did not feel rushed at all, making it a very comfortable journey. If you join this kind of outdoor tour, since there are quite a few sections that require walking, I recommend wearing a good pair of comfortable walking shoes to make it much easier! I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves natural scenery and shrines.

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.

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!

Ang ilang mga atraksyon ay mga lugar na puno ng enerhiya na malapit sa kalikasan, napapalibutan ng luntiang puno, kung saan makakahinga ka ng sariwang hangin at makakapaglinis ng isip, at matututo rin tungkol sa pinagmulan ng mitolohiyang Hapon. Medyo hindi maginhawa ang pagpunta sa mga atraksyong ito mula sa Fukuoka, kaya malaking tulong ang itineraryong ito, at maayos din ang pagkakaayos. Ang Kamishikimi Kumano-imasu Shrine ay nakasama sa kalikasan, puno ng luntian, at parang lugar kung saan lumalabas ang mga espiritu sa Princess Mononoke. Ang Amano Iwato Shrine at Amano Yasukawara ay may kuwento kung paano inilabas ang nagtatagong si Amaterasu Omikami ng walong milyong diyos. Ang Takachiho Gorge naman ay ang lugar kung saan bumaba ang maliit na apo ng diyos sa Ashihara no Nakatsukuni. Ang hangin ay may kabanalan, na nagbibigay ng paggalang sa puso. Dahil may mga lugar na kailangan umakyat ng hagdan at bundok, medyo nakakapagod ito, kaya maghanda nang maaga at umakyat nang buo! Ang tour leader na si Zheng Yu ay malayang nagpapalit-palit ng Korean at Chinese, nagbibigay ng maingat na gabay, malinaw ang pag-iisip, at maagang inaanunsyo ang oras ng pagtitipon sa bawat lugar. Sasabihin din niya na walang nakalaang oras para sa tanghalian, at kailangan itong ayusin sa oras ng libreng aktibidad, kasabay ng pagpapaliwanag ng mga maginhawang lugar para kumain. Pakiramdam ko ay sapat ang oras na ibinigay sa bawat lugar, at hindi nagmamadali. Sa huli, nagbigay pa siya ng espesyal na tinapay mula sa Takachiho Gorge bilang pasalubong. Walang ulan sa panahon ng tag-ulan, napakaganda ng panahon, napaka-organisado ng tour leader, at napakabait ng mga kasama sa tour, napakaganda ng karanasan! Nagpapasalamat ako nang lubos🙏🏻
