The experience was good. The bus will stop at Aso Station for 10 minutes on the way. You can get off and check in. Kurokawa is beautiful and the tofu lunch arranged is delicious.

I went to many scenic spots. Although the stay at each stop was short, the tour guide would explain the characteristics of the scenic spots. You can still visit each place carefully if you take the time. It was a very fulfilling and compact one-day itinerary!

The guide and bus driver were very patient and informative. Despite language barrier, they went out of their way to ensure that they could help us in any way possible. It would be great if English speaking guides were part of this fabulous team.

The itinerary includes bus reservations and lunch, saving you the trouble of finding a car yourself, and the overall price is affordable. Lunch includes tofu dishes, among which the ice cream is the most delicious, you must try it.

The arrangement was very reasonable. The tour guide was beautiful and attentive. She introduced every scenery to everyone and left enough time. It would be very troublesome to go to these places by yourself. This itinerary was very good. I went to see all the places I wanted to go. My favorite was Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine⛩️. It was like a divine realm as soon as I entered. It was so beautiful. Kusasenri was also beautiful. The way to Aso was like Switzerland. The lunch was also very good👍In short, I was very satisfied~

A good experience. You can use simple language to communicate about the variety of hair accessories. You can choose the store staff to provide good service and help take photos and organize clothes.
