Aso

The weather was great, and the views of Mount Aso and Takachiho while boating were truly beautiful. Plus, our professional guide, Jimmy Yanagi, was witty and humorous. Highly recommended!

After booking your trip, you'll receive a voucher, which will be a PDF. The PDF will detail the boarding times, itinerary, tickets, and important notes (in Chinese). The places that felt a bit rushed were the Aso Mt. Terminal and the Aso Crater. According to the itinerary, upon arriving at Terminal, you have to queue for the bus, and since the bus arrives quickly, there's no time to eat ice cream or browse souvenir shops. The time spent at the Aso Crater is also a bit short, especially if you want to take plenty of photos and walk all the trails, which requires more time. Back at Terminal, I remember the bus departs in 15 minutes, so if you need to use the restroom, eat ice cream, or browse the souvenir shops, there's definitely not enough time. Lunch was at Douce Nucca, next to the Kusanagi Aso Volcano Museum. The hamburger steak was delicious! You'll have three hours here, which is plenty of time. Finally, you return to Aso Station and can leisurely shop at the souvenir shops nearby. I stop at Aso Station for about 30 minutes in the morning to see what I want to buy, and then come back in the afternoon to buy it. The pudding is delicious! The coffee jelly is very coffee-flavored.

Mr. Liu's cooperation was excellent 👍, making our trip very smooth and allowing us to get excellent rest during our business trip. He's definitely worth recommending again and again.

I participated in half of the tour. It snowed in Kumamoto that day, and the road conditions were difficult, but thanks to the efforts of the driver and tour guide Ningning, we completed the tour smoothly and perfectly. The Takachiho Scenic Railway was a novel experience, but it was very windy and cold outdoors. The scenery of Takachiho Gorge was beautiful. Although the return trip from there was also beautiful, Mount Aso was stunning. Although it was extremely cold on the mountain and our time there was short, the later clearing weather at Mount Aso was also captivating. The ice cream in Kusanagi Senri was delicious, and there were souvenirs available to buy.
