Super convenient and easy to use. No need for a separate ticket, just show it when you get off. It works on almost all buses in Kyushu with the SunQ pass sticker. The only downside is that it takes a long time to travel, especially during rush hour. Otherwise, it's really great value for money (it even works from the airport to Kumamoto city center, and the signage is quite clear).
We visited Kirishima Shrine and the Kamisui Gorge Trail. For lunch, we ate eel rice at a restaurant recommended by our driver, Xiaomeng, which was excellent value for money. In the afternoon, we went to Maruo Falls and bought souvenirs at the Kirishima Onsen Market. Finally, we soaked in the Maeda Onsen for only 430 yen per person. It was a full day of unforgettable experiences. Our driver, Xiaomeng, drove very steadily and was very talkative and easy to get along with. I want to give her a big thumbs up!
Previous experiences with chartered cars always required constant confirmation, and this time I was initially worried because the travel agency wasn't proactive in contacting and confirming. However, it turned out to be unnecessary. The agency was very professional; the driver contacted me a week in advance with detailed order information and itinerary details, was very familiar with the routes, and was extremely polite and courteous. The initial quote was truly all-inclusive, unlike other companies that later added toll fees, other charges, etc. Although the initial price might have been higher, it was actually excellent value for money, and considering the legal green license plate, the car might even have been cheaper. Highly recommended, I would definitely choose them again next time!
