Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa 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.

Very well planned tour, we didn’t feel rush and were lucky enough to see all the sights under great weather. Our tour guide was Kevin and we couldn’t ask for a better one, he has great humor, explanation and very responsible to ensure everyone is taken care of. It’s one of the best day tour you can get if you have a free day in Fukuoka area to experience the nature! (But definitely check the weather first!)

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 😍

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!

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 unang pagkakataon namin sa Kumamoto, napakasuwerte naming nakilala si Tour Guide Yin De Long! Napakamaingat at responsableng tour guide niya, at matiyaga niyang ipinaliwanag sa amin ang tungkol sa mga atraksyon, paraan ng transportasyon, at maging ang maliliit na detalye. Lubos akong humanga nang personal niyang isinulat ang mapa para sa amin upang mas malinaw naming malaman ang daan, talagang napakamaalalahanin niya 🥹 At napakahusay din magmaneho ng driver 👍 Bagama't umulan, may ginagawang pagkukumpuni sa mga atraksyon, at may fog sa Kusasenri sa aming biyahe, matiyaga pa ring tinulungan kami ni Tour Guide Yin De Long at tinulungan din kami sa mga biglaang problema. Maraming salamat din sa sinabi mong maaari kaming magtanong sa iyo kung mayroon kaming anumang katanungan sa Kyushu sa hinaharap. Sana sa susunod naming pagpunta sa Kyushu, magkaroon ulit kami ng pagkakataong sumama sa iyong tour!

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!

Isang perpektong paglalakbay sa kalikasan ng Kyushu, salamat sa aming tour guide na si Ate Nanami! Katatapos lang ng aming itinerary sa Kumamoto at Miyazaki, at sabik na akong isulat ang magandang review na ito. Ang ruta ng tour group na ito ay napakaganda ang pagkakadisenyo, perpektong pinagsama ang mga natural na kababalaghan at karanasan sa kultura. Sa Aso, nakita namin ang isa sa pinakamalaking aktibong bunganga ng bulkan sa mundo, at ang pakiramdam ng pulso ng mundo ay hindi malilimutan; naglakad kami sa malawak na damuhan ng Kusasenri, at naramdaman ang kakaibang lawak at katahimikan; ang pagsakay sa bangka sa Takachiho Gorge ang highlight ng buong biyahe, na parang pumasok kami sa isang mitolohikal na mundo. At ang "kaluluwa" ng lahat ng magagandang karanasang ito ay walang iba kundi ang aming tour guide na si Ate Nanami. Siya ay napakapropesyonal at puno ng sigasig na tao: 1. Malawak ang kaalaman: Alam na alam niya ang kasaysayan at kultura ng Kyushu, ang geological formation, at ang mga lokal na produkto. Ang kanyang mga paliwanag ay buhay na buhay at kawili-wili, na hindi lang namin nakita ang tanawin, kundi naunawaan din ang kuwento sa likod nito. 2. Bilingual na komunikasyon: Maraming dayuhang kaibigan sa grupo, at buong biyahe siyang nagbigay serbisyo sa lahat gamit ang matatas na Chinese at English, inalagaan ang bawat miyembro, at walang anumang hadlang sa komunikasyon, napaka-maalalahanin. 3. Masigasig at maalalahanin: Palagi siyang may nakangiting mukha, maingat na inaalagaan ang mga matatanda at bata sa grupo, at tinutulungan silang lutasin ang iba't ibang problema, tulad ng isang mapagkakatiwalaang ate. Dahil kay Ate Nanami, ang biyaheng ito ay puno ng init at alaala. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ito sa mga kaibigang nagpaplanong maglakbay sa Kyushu! Umaasa akong magkikita pa kami sa susunod na biyahe.
