Takachiho

It was a great trip, but I felt the time in Takachiho was a bit rushed. The tour guide was very attentive in guiding us through the sights. Thank you to the driver for his safe driving. Everyone, young and old, had a great time.

Before setting off, I was a little worried after seeing negative reviews on the tour guide website, but after experiencing it with friends, I think it was quite good. Our guide, Mr. Yang, was very nice; he was the only one in the group who stood out from the others, making him easy to spot. He was very attentive, and the conversations were interesting. No one was late for any of the group meetings, and the overall process was smooth. Takachiho Gorge is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos and is definitely worth a visit. However, since it's in the mountains, people with mobility issues might want to consider it.

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.

The itinerary included Takachiho Gorge, Mount Aso, and Kusasenri. Lunch was delicious, and our tour guide, Zhang Qing, arranged the time well, took great care of the group members, and provided a lot of information. It was wonderful to see the fully open crater.

It's easy to use and convenient; you can take any bus from Fukuoka to Yufuin. It's great value and very easy to learn. If you don't understand, the bus driver will patiently teach you.
