The tour guide Xiao Chen is very good👍. He has a detailed introduction to the scenic spots and answers all the group members’ questions. Mount Aso is beautiful and the crater is spectacular! Kumano Shrine is very quiet and comfortable.

It was a very good trip. I was lucky enough to see the Aso volcano up close. Kusa Senri was also very beautiful. It would be nice if I could spend more time in Kusa Senri.

Guide Zhao was very kind and provided good service. Along the way, he not only introduced the attractions to visit, but also introduced the history of Japan, which was very helpful for the tour. He also took beautiful photos for us on the way. As far as the attractions are concerned, we were really lucky. We were a little disappointed at first because we didn't receive the notice to go to the Aso crater. Later, we were able to reach the crater and quickly exited when we encountered a temporary red warning. Finally, the green light came on, allowing us to see the steaming volcanic eruption 🌋 crater as we wished, which was spectacular. With a hearty and delicious lunch at noon, this trip to Kumamoto was perfect!

First of all, if you don’t drive by yourself, you can’t go to so many scenic spots in one day. The drive is a bit long, but Aso Crater Nachigusuri is so worth it. Kumamoto Castle is also beautiful, but I only have one hour to see it and it’s very urgent. If you can arrange it, More time is better!

First time using klook (recommended by a colleague). Really good value for money. Today's tour guide is Chen Weijie, very nice ~ warm and thoughtful service. I was also lucky today, I went up to the volcano and saw the crater. A pleasant trip.

The itinerary is well arranged and the attractions are attractive. Director Zhao is very nice and his explanations are clear and orderly. I also learned some historical and cultural knowledge during the visit. It would be even better if you have some time to buy Kumamoto souvenirs.
