Kumamoto Castle tours

The most impressive thing on the trip was Aso Volcano. When I got off the car and walked up to the crater, I was greeted by the smell of sulfur, which is similar to that of Yangmingshan Hot Spring. According to the introduction, it is the poisonous gas "sulfur disate", so it is not suitable for hiking. It takes too long to stay there, but it’s still worth it to see Mount Aso, the world’s largest lava volcano. There are round bunkers near the crater, which are used for emergency evacuation when the volcano suddenly moves. In addition, Kumamoto’s agriculture is developed, Aso milk is abundant, and there are many cheese products, such as cheesecake and cheese. I bought one on the way today. Let’s try the small bottle of milk pudding🍮. People who like soft and tender desserts will love it. In addition, it is very common to eat horse meat here, so I just bought a small skewer of horse meat at "Spur Skewers" to try. The local delicacy tastes as chewy as mutton, but does not have a strange smell similar to mutton. At the Sosenri Rest Stop near Aso Volcano, they also sell vacuum-packed yellow corn. The corn here is very famous. I bought one to try and taste it. Unexpectedly, it was the sweetest corn I have ever tasted🌽!

Attentive Guide, Stunning Sites, and the Best Buffet Lunch Ever** We recently took a 1-day tour of Kumamoto, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our itinerary included visits to Kumamoto Castle, Mt. Aso Volcano, and Kamishikimi Shrine, each offering its own unique beauty and historical significance. The day was perfectly organized, with clear information provided about pick-up times and locations, ensuring everything went smoothly. What truly made this tour special was our guide. Although we had booked a Chinese-language tour, she went above and beyond to provide us with all the information we needed in English. She was incredibly attentive and caring, always making sure we were comfortable and understood everything. Her kindness and dedication made the experience even more enjoyable. The lunch was another highlight of the day. We enjoyed a delicious buffet, which was perhaps the best I’ve ever had on any tour. The variety and quality of the food were exceptional, offering a wonderful taste of local flavors. Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of breathtaking sights, excellent organization, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Kumamoto with a guide who truly cares about her guests!

Great day trip with wonderful driver (Sakai-san), tour guide (Ōtsuka-san) and interpreter (Ushijima-san). Locations were beautiful and amazing + the journey to each location was cosy and comfortable. Highly recommend to those wanna explore Kumamoto and Miyazaki prefecture 👍🏻

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.

Takachiho Falls is very beautiful. The journey is quite far, but take the train to see the view. It is quite hot, but it would be very beautiful if you come in other seasons. Kumamoto Castle is very beautiful and magnificent. The guide can speak English quite well, but speaks Chinese quite well.

Customer service contacted me the night I placed the order, and I arrived on time on the day of the trip. There were 8 of us in the group and we took a 10-passenger car, which was very comfortable. The driver was familiar with the scenic spots and traffic routes. We didn’t think we could go up to the volcano at first. After understanding the situation, the driver opened a road and we could drive up the mountain. We finally saw Mount Aso! It’s no problem even adding attractions temporarily, it’s fun and relaxing!

The driver Hugo is very kind, the car is new and clean, and the driving skills are very stable and safe. Chartering a car to go to the zoo is convenient and saves time.

Highly recommended! It is definately worth your money and time. Especially, My guide Emily was amazing! She is just a lovely person. Super kind!
