It was a very pleasant trip. Thanks to our guide, Miss Selina, for taking us on a day trip. She was very warm and gentle, and took very good care of us. We even drank Aso milk. Looking forward to our next trip to Kyushu!

With JRpass, sightseeing in Kitakyushu is very convenient. You can switch between free and reserved seats at will, and you can also change to Shinkansen. It is very cost-effective.
What a lucky day! As a Solotrip member, I had a great experience on this day trip. We visited three or four scenic spots, and the tour guide shared the day's culture and some interesting facts on the bus. It was packed with useful information. Special praise to tour guide Wang Baoyin, he was very nice!

Reviews: Kumamoto Castle & Aso Crater Exploration, Kusasenri Horseback Riding, Depart from Fukuoka/Kumamoto

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.
