Mt Aso & Takachiho gorge

Published on Nov, 2024

Sincere thanks to our guides Kumiko and Keita, for this unforgettable whole day trip to Minami Aso and Takachiho.

Highly recommended experience.

Published on Oct, 2024

Such a great trip. The guides were excellent and the experience was exactly what we were looking for. The scenery throughout was amazing and although the crater was invisible due to mist, it was also extremely beautiful and surreal up there. The drive back to our hotel in Nakasu is a bit long but it's absolutely worth it

Spiritual nature haven

The entire trip from start to finish was amazing. The places they take you to are remote and not accessible by public transportation. Our tour escorts Keita and Mercedes were exceptional in their care and service. Everything was paced perfectly and they were very flexible and very good at what they do. They took us to 'hidden' spots that other tours do not know about. I highly recommend that you ask for them. They made our trip a highlight.
