Kumamoto City

Although the journey was long, the comfortable bus and the excellent commentary from our guide, Zhuo Yanzhi, were fantastic. We also bought tickets that included the Aso Boy sightseeing train, and the seats were superb! The views were unobstructed! I'll definitely buy KKDay tickets again next time I have the chance.

This itinerary leans towards exploring the sights, but the tour guide is very enthusiastic and the itinerary is well-planned, making it suitable for first-time visitors. The Takachiho Scenic Railway offers beautiful scenery, but the information is only provided in Japanese, so it's advisable to do some research beforehand for a better experience.

We're a Korean couple in our 70s. We were a little worried about finding our way to a new destination without a guide. However, following the directions on the voucher they sent us, it wasn't difficult. In fact, it was fun. We went to the restaurant they provided for lunch, and the view was amazing. We could see the entire Kusasenri at a glance. The atmosphere was classy, and the food was delicious. Of course, we walked along the Kusasenri streets. Along the way, we met and talked to a Dutch person and an elderly Japanese couple, and it will be an unforgettable memory, along with the scenery of Mount Aso. And I think this trip was truly cost-effective. The price was very reasonable. Thank you.

Dad drove and everyone together drove into the ship, find a good seat turned out to be a table to eat, the ship has snacks and drinks sold buy and supply, we ourselves also bought strawberries, sushi and some skewers, drinks before before, so on board the meal, really unforgettable and satisfying.

Thanks to tour guide Sun Peng for his excellent service throughout the day. Drawing on his experience living in Japan and his knowledge of Kumamoto, he introduced many aspects of Kumamoto's history and current events. He had a great grasp of the itinerary, locations, and times, and worked seamlessly with the driver. During the trip, the guide introduced the attractions and their origins with humor and wit, and adjusted the content according to the needs of the travelers. Best of all, he answered every question; there seemed to be no question he couldn't answer. A must-see in Kumamoto is Mount Aso, as I wanted to see grasslands, cows, and horses. Unfortunately, I encountered the twice-yearly burning of the mountain, a unique sight that gave me a reason to come back again. *Fun Fact: Higo = Higo Province = Aso* Must-see: Takachiho Scenic Railway (a truly ceremonial experience), Mount Aso, Kusasenri (Kusa Senri Scenic Area)* Must-eat: Aso Milk (50% purity) – very delicious.
