Kumamoto

A group of classmates with over 30 years of friendship, on a pleasant trip.

It's super convenient to buy and use immediately; just redeem it at the counter! Since I went on a weekday, it wasn't crowded! The main activities were taking a helicopter ride to see Asu and petting the bears! It was great; the zoo is large, but there weren't many animals! The shows were pretty good, but the place smelled quite bad 😂

Fun! I'd come again next time and recommend it to others. Good value for money.

The app's emails, which were in Chinese, could use some improvement, but I received one in Japanese three days before the trip. We were supposed to meet near the bus rotary at Hakata Chikushiguchi and head for the yellow flags, but when we got there, there were a lot of people with yellow flags. I checked with one of them, and he was fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese, directing us. Since the tour is run by a Chinese company, the tour conductor was a Chinese national, Mr. You, a 10-year veteran guide. When we gathered in the medium-sized bus, we realized we were the only two Japanese people there—everyone else was foreign. Conversely, we were treated specially, sitting in the front row. The tour was a speedy, efficient day trip. I imagined a Japanese travel agency would have allowed a little more time, but the time was perfectly timed. However, after the trip, I realized they were trying to accommodate foreigners, since they couldn't always visit at their leisure, by showing us as many places as possible. At the iconic Takachiho waterfall in Miyazaki, we even enjoyed rowing our own boat. I couldn't paddle well, so I plunged into a waterfall. Getting wet was a good memory. The Miyazaki beef for lunch was seriously delicious.

The itinerary was well-designed and flexible, allowing for adjustments to the order! Our guide, Mr. Ge, was professional, friendly, polite, and considerate! The driver was a skilled driver and very courteous! This trip was a success; we successfully reached Takachiho Gorge and even rode the little train! Mount Aso was unforgettable; nature is truly amazing! Thank you 🙏 for a wonderful memory!
