The first stop in the morning went to Kusakami, unfortunately the fog is very large Observation platform scenery is affected by fog, the first floor business in front of a horse meat grill quite delicious, souvenir shop goods many good to buy, but the second floor self-service ordering machine meals mediocre, but the buffet area of rice and miso soup good, then go to the color see Bear Shrine take pictures, the third stop take the small train train chief arrives at the fixed point will have bubbles take pictures, the last stop Takachiho Pass, the bus stopped at the third parking lot to walk a long way to reach the boating area, but really quite beautiful, return to take the shuttle or the taxi next to it will not be too hard!
The scenery was beautiful, and the boat trip was so much fun that it was definitely worth the trip! Brother Sun from Gogoday was very responsible, and thanks to his recommendation, I was able to choose the most unique Aso volcano ash souvenir. It's completely exclusive to this area and can only be found here. I'm so happy!
The tour guide meticulously planned the itinerary; the explanations were clear and efficient. The driver's driving skills were excellent; the timing was precise. My fellow travelers were quiet and punctual, and we arrived at the attractions just as the weather cleared up, leaving the staff and tourists all smiling. This trip allowed me to appreciate all the beautiful scenery, enjoy the pleasant air, and buy plenty of things. I highly recommend including a ride on the Aso Boy train for an extra and more fun experience.
I was the only Japanese person out of 26 people, but I had a very enjoyable trip without any problems. The guide was very cheerful and kind, and provided perfect support for everyone. The meals were varied, plentiful, and delicious. I was very satisfied with the price for such a comfortable bus trip.
1. Redeeming at Hakata Station was extremely convenient. Although only one day's worth of tickets could be redeemed, the machines were very convenient for the rest. 2. Your store did not sell QR codes, and not every counter staff member could manually process them. It took me a while to find one. I strongly recommend that the voucher have a QR code. Fortunately, the Japanese service was excellent; otherwise, we probably would have been refused. The roving assistance staff kept saying: "Only QR codes are allowed." 3. The sightseeing train is extremely popular; I recommend booking online in advance. 4. Due to heavy rain, trains to and from Yufuin and other destinations were suspended on the 25th and 26th. Fortunately, all trains above the express level required reserved seats, so I was able to immediately change to unreserved seats around Kokura and stay in Beppu. However, I incurred the loss of my Yufuin Onsen hotel accommodation due to the cancellation.
