The Chinese-speaking tour guide provided a very thorough explanation and was considerate of each member's feelings. All optional excursions were clearly explained, highlighting which were worthwhile and recommending good restaurants. There was ample time throughout the tour, and the meeting times were clearly communicated. They also had ample contingency plans in place for the volcano's occasional closures, which was excellent. However, the bus seats were cramped and the smell was unpleasant; I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

The itinerary was well-adjusted, and the guided tours along the way were interesting. The only minor drawback was that the seats on the minibus weren't very comfortable; otherwise, it was perfect.

Visiting three amazing attractions in one trip! I was a little worried because there were no reviews when I booked, but thankfully the trip went ahead, and it's relatively close to Kumamoto. This time, with a small group, we took a minibus that went directly to the crater. Everyone in the group was very punctual. The tour guide provided explanations of the attractions and offered excellent service. The only downside was that the driver drove too fast on the mountain roads, so even though my child had motion sickness medication, they still vomited. I highly recommend this tour.

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!

The picturesque beauty of Takachiho, the uniqueness of Mount Aso, and the vast expanse of Kusasenri...it was a fantastic trip. The guide was excellent, enthusiastic, and gave in-depth and detailed explanations, sharing his insights into Japan. Afterward, he recommended nearby dining options with excellent value.

I really liked the little train and the scenery along the way. The driver also had a fun bubble gun on the last bridge. The canyon scenery is really amazing and a must-see. It's a pity that the volcano was not accessible on a rainy day...

The tour guide was very friendly and chatted with us. When he found out that he was also staying in Kumamoto tonight, he told us about the Yashiro Fireworks Festival and told us how to get there and where the best viewing spots were. Thank you, guide Sugiyama! It was a great experience!
