I was very lucky that our tour leader was Daqiao. His explanations of the best places to eat, activities, and important information in Chinese were very engaging and interesting. The bus seats were quite spacious. I would definitely like to join Daqiao's tour again next time.
Tour guide Selina explained in both Chinese and English that the shrine's hidden area is very beautiful, and if there is time, you can continue to walk uphill. There is a very powerful cave called Meikoku, and you can see the smoke rising from Mount Aso in the distance from Kusasenri. Kusasenri is similar to Keiten'gang, and the grassland is quite uneven, so be careful not to twist your ankle while walking. It is suggested that the tour guide remind the tourists about this in the future.
This trip to the mountains was perfect for a few days of independent travel with elders. Transportation was convenient and the guide was very helpful! It saved us the trouble of finding transportation or planning the itinerary. The weather was also fantastic on the day of our trip to Kusanagi Senri, and we even got to experience horseback riding! The Aso boy's ticket was given to us right after boarding, and we managed to snag a front-row seat! We were very lucky.
Although it drizzled all day and we couldn't ride horses, our tour guide Ningning was very kind and attentive. She introduced the attractions, recommended local delicacies, and helped us take photos, which made us have wonderful memories.
The scenery was beautiful, the walking was senior-friendly, and the Wagyu beef lunch was delicious and plentiful. The only downside was that the boating experience was cancelled due to rising water levels during the local rainy season, which was a real shame.
Since the guided tour to the crater wasn't available that day, and the round trip on foot would take about 40 minutes, I recommend spending more time at Mount Aso to hike and get a glimpse of the crater. The Kusasenri Red Beef Burger was good. Perhaps due to the lunch service time, we spent too much time at Kusasenri, missing the bike ride and not buying tickets to visit the volcano museum, as we spent most of our time waiting for the bus. But overall, it was still a very good experience.
I highly recommend Peng Ge to any family or friends who want to visit Kumamoto. The entire trip was flawless, the attractions were explained in detail, and the recommended food was delicious. It was an unforgettable experience.
