It's incredibly convenient for independent travelers. The tour guide was very responsible, explaining a lot about Kumamoto along the way. The driver was very steady, and everything went very smoothly.
It's easy to use and convenient; you can take any bus from Fukuoka to Yufuin. It's great value and very easy to learn. If you don't understand, the bus driver will patiently teach you.
It was so easy to book the ticket from kkday and when I was there to collect tickets, I just need to show my booking, tell them the time I wish to board the ferry and I will get to exchange my boarding pass without fuss. Highly recommended
The tour guide was friendly and adjusted the itinerary according to the weather, resulting in a fulfilling trip. The scenic spots were beautiful, the travel time between them was reasonable, and the meals were delicious. Overall, a fantastic experience! Highly recommended!
Both the guidebook and the app offer Traditional Chinese versions, and the content is both interesting and detailed ❤️ My favorite part was the anecdotes about Kumamoto Castle and the Satsuma Rebellion! Combined with the exhibited models and animations, it felt like I was actually there ☺️ The staff were also very friendly, especially the three princesses, lords, and generals who had a special performance at the Josaien Garden later that evening. If you visit Kumamoto Castle at 9:00, you can see them there! 🐻
This tour started in Kumamoto. Although I couldn't contact the tour guide in advance due to personal oversight, the guide was very considerate and helpful on the day of the trip, explaining the scenery along the way and often taking photos for us. The seats on the Aso Boy train were also fantastic; we were surprised to find panoramic views, which made everyone very happy. This tour is a good option for independent travelers who don't want to drive themselves. The downside might be that the stop at Mount Aso is a little short, but having fun is what matters.
