Aso

The itinerary included meals, and there was no need to retrace the route, as it didn't require much leg strength from the elderly. They simply needed to follow the guide's instructions. The time and shopping were well-managed. The only downside was the risk of slipping during heavy rain; otherwise, there was nothing to complain about. The guide was fluent in Japanese and Mandarin, took good care of all the tourists, was very friendly, provided excellent explanations, and thoughtfully included time on signs and music during breaks. He also recommended restaurants in Fukuoka. He mentioned he really longed to experience life in Fukuoka. This talent should be given more responsibility and his salary increased. ***************************** This Fukuoka day trip was a very satisfying experience. The itinerary was very well designed, avoiding backtracking. The time and pace of shopping were perfectly managed, greatly reducing the physical burden on the elderly and allowing them to easily keep up. Although the heavy rain made some roads slippery and posed a slight risk of slipping, the overall itinerary and meal arrangements were still handled meticulously and thoughtfully, almost flawlessly. The tour guide's professional performance was a highlight of the trip. He was fluent in both Japanese and Mandarin, attentively caring for travelers from diverse backgrounds, and maintained a cheerful demeanor throughout, providing lively and engaging explanations. He demonstrated exceptional professionalism in details, such as proactively writing down meeting times on signs, playing music to remind group members after breaks, and generously sharing local Fukuoka culinary gems and recommended attractions. He even shared his love and longing for life in Fukuoka, his enthusiasm for his work truly touching. In conclusion, such a talented individual, possessing both strong language skills and meticulous service, is invaluable. I strongly recommend that the travel agency give him more responsibility and a raise to recognize the exceptional travel experience he provided. Thank you so much for your kindness and smiles 😊😁

Kumamoto is very safe now, and the earthquake recovery was quick. The itinerary was well-planned; I had delicious red beef steak in Kusanagi-sato and enjoyed a beautiful Japanese hot spring in Kurokawa. It was a fantastic trip.

A day trip to Mount Aso in Kyushu 🏔️ Kamishimi Kumanozha Shrine → Mount Aso → Kusasenri → Kurokawa Onsen ♨️ We visited several different places in one day. The tranquility of the shrine, the grandeur of Mount Aso, the vastness of Kusasenri, and the leisurely atmosphere of Kurokawa Onsen—each stop offered a different perspective. Our guide was also excellent—friendly, patient, and helpful in explaining the sights and local culture along the way. The entire trip went very smoothly.

The canyon is beautiful, but sliding through it takes a little practice 😂 The Wagyu beef meal was also quite delicious.

This Kyushu day trip was very well planned, and the local guide and driver were very professional. Attraction 1: Kusasenri - Standing on the vast grasslands of Kusasenri, overlooking the Aso Nakadake crater, the view is incredibly expansive. The green grass, volcanic smoke, and blue sky create a scene that's perfect for any photo. Horseback riding is also available, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Attraction 2: Takachiho Gorge - One of Kyushu's most spectacular sights! The steep columnar jointed rock walls on both sides of the gorge are magnificent, and combined with the famous Manai Falls, it feels like stepping into a mythical fairyland. Takachiho Boating Experience (Recommended Add-on): If a boating option is included, it's highly recommended to book! The breathtaking view of Manai Falls from the water is incomparable to simply admiring it from the riverside path. The only downside is the long drive: the attractions are far apart, and a significant portion of the day is spent driving, but you can rest and catch up on sleep on the bus, saving you the time and effort of comparing schedules. Unfortunately, due to the changeable weather at Mount Aso, some areas may be closed if there is volcanic activity or dense fog. Overall, this is a classic natural landscape tour with high cost-performance and a smooth route. Whether it's your first time visiting Kyushu or you're a traveler looking to easily collect both major landmarks, it's highly recommended!

No need to drive and got a great tour guide! Really great! The tour guide was very patient and had a great attitude. Nanami The Miyazaki beef burger is amazing, a must-try! Very good impression ❤️

This was my first time hiring a car in Fukuoka. The itinerary for the day was to visit Mount Aso to see the beautiful scenery, but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it rained heavily. The driver was very considerate and explained to us that the fog on the mountain was very thick and we might not be able to see the scenery we wanted. After carefully asking whether we wanted to shop, enjoy the scenery, or just have a quick look around, he provided us with the best itinerary. Since we were traveling with elderly people, the driver was very accommodating and made us get off at several points, ensuring that the elderly people were safely taken back to their hotel. It was a wonderful experience!
