Customer Reviews

“I enjoyed this tour. It’s convenient for those starting from Kumamoto and covers two main attractions. Time was well-allocated, lunch was excellent, and the guides were great! If you want to do the boat ride at Takachiho, book it separately — there’s enough time for it.”

“Although the itinerary changed due to heavy snow at Mount Aso, the replacement destinations were equally enjoyable. The snowy landscape made it feel like Christmas! Takachiho was beautiful.”

“Even though we couldn’t visit the Aso crater, we had a great time. Takachiho Gorge was stunning, and I even rowed a boat through the canyon. The local-style lunch was delicious, and the tour guides were very professional.”
