Reviews: Kumamoto Castle & Aso Crater Exploration, Kusasenri Horseback Riding, Depart from Fukuoka/Kumamoto
Guest User2025-08-22
The meeting point was right by the Starbucks at the east-shiroku exit of Hakata Station, and we departed right on time. Some tourists overslept and didn't even wait. They were very punctual.
The bus was in excellent condition, with plenty of air conditioning. The guide was very welcoming.
Kumamoto Castle and Mount Aso were both great. Despite the heat, Kumamoto Castle was worth visiting; it's air-conditioned and offers a panoramic view from above. There were also many delicious dishes on the first floor. The horse meat fried cakes were delicious, and the limited-edition watermelon soda was very quenching.
Due to Mount Aso's active season, we couldn't get the bus to our nearest viewing location, which was a shame.
The ice cream on the mountain was delicious and worth trying. The set lunch menu was also good, though a bit pricey up there. The air was nice, and walking on the grass was much cooler than at the foot of the mountain.

Using the JR Pass to travel to Kyushu is incredibly convenient and great value! You can ride the Shinkansen unlimited times.

We had really lovely tour guides - Helen & 花花 who shared interesting and informative stories about all the places we visited. Everything ran smoothly and on time, which we truly appreciated. And a special mention to our bus (plate no. 2006)! The ride was very smooth, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable!

This was a very cost-effective and convenient option. The e-tickets were incredibly easy to use; simply download the app beforehand and enter the corresponding number to redeem them with just your phone. This trip made full use of the free attractions and I had a fantastic time! 🥰
