Itinerary was completed on time. The tour guide, Ning Ning was helpful in taking photos for tour members. Overall it was an enjoyable day tour.

The tour guide was very nice. We rode the little train, but because of it, our time in Kusanagi became quite rushed after lunch, and we could only view the volcano from the parking lot (it's not open to the public yet), which was a bit of a shame. But I understand, it's something we had to make. I hope that once the volcano is open to visitors, we can offer a dedicated volcano tour.

Our tour guide, Ms. Sugiyama, was incredibly enthusiastic and eager to help everyone learn about Kumamoto's history and culture. She frequently offered assistance throughout the trip. The only thing I felt could be improved was that the tour bus windows were too dirty, making it impossible to enjoy the scenery outside.

A day trip to Miyazaki, Kyushu is absolutely worth it! Take the Takachiho Sky Train through the canyons for breathtaking scenery; experience the ancient and tranquil Takachiho Shrine, brimming with mythological atmosphere; witness the spectacular waterfalls and cliffs of Takachiho Gorge, and enjoy a truly therapeutic stroll. Explore the vast grasslands of Mount Aso, with its awe-inspiring views of the volcano. The itinerary is smooth, packed with attractions, combining cultural and natural elements, with a caring guide, great photo opportunities, and a comfortable and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Throughout the trip, our tour guide, Shanshan, was extremely responsible, providing detailed explanations of the precautions for each attraction, especially along the route to Mount Aso. Her explanations were very vivid and engaging, showing her consideration for travelers from all over the world. She also recommended fun places to visit in Kumamoto and found the local products to be very useful. Travelers planning to visit Takachiho and Mount Aso can consider this itinerary.

Director Jiang was incredibly nice! He first gave a general overview of the day's itinerary and a brief introduction to each location, which made me feel very reassured and clear about where to go next! He immediately rushed off the bus to help me buy tickets for the Takachiho Scenic Railway—amazing!!! (Tickets were limited and sold out quickly). He was also very considerate in helping me take photos! The Takachiho Scenic Railway is amazing! I highly recommend visiting; the scenery is absolutely stunning! The Takachiho Gorge is also beautiful! Unfortunately, the weather changed drastically in the afternoon with heavy fog, so we couldn't see Mount Aso and the Kusasenri Grassland. I'll definitely come back next time!

Seeing the volcano, really depends on fate 😅; taking the small train depends on the tour guide: Ah Tsui 👍👍, once we arrived at the station, he immediately ran to the ticket office to help us buy tickets, saw him coming back out of breath, very grateful.

Tour guide Jiang Cui led the tour in a lively and engaging manner. The one-day tour itinerary was well-planned. The commentary along the way was excellent, and the scenery of Takachiho Gorge and Kusasenri was beautiful, making it a wonderful experience.
