I booked this Kyushu autumn foliage day tour on Trip.com for peace of mind, and it certainly didn't disappoint. My schedule was tight, but I managed to book it just 1 day in advance. The guide added me on WeChat quickly, and communication was smooth. We met at 7:45 AM. The bus was punctual throughout the trip, the itinerary was well-planned, and it wasn't tiring at all. I especially want to praise our guide, Mr. Yin Delong. He was humorous, fun, and very diligent. He took care of everything along the way, his explanations were just right, and the whole experience was fantastic! Takachiho Gorge is truly beautiful, and the autumn foliage atmosphere was perfect 🍁. The only small regret was that the Mount Aso hiking trail was closed, so we couldn't go up to see it. I look forward to coming back someday to make up for it. Overall, booking a tour through Trip.com is worry-free and reliable. The pace of the day tour was comfortable, and I recommend it to friends who want a relaxing trip to Kyushu. Travel tips: Remember that booking 1 day in advance is fine, but since the meeting time is early, make sure to set an alarm. It's also recommended to check if the Mount Aso hiking trail is open before you depart.

5 Extraordinary Volcanoes and Unique Landscapes in Japan

Visiting Mount Aso in Kumamoto, Japan, is an experience that makes you realise just how powerful and beautiful nature can be. This is not an ordinary mountain – it is one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas, with dramatic landscapes, vast green fields, volcanic smoke, and breathtaking panoramic views.

What impressed me most was the incredible contrast between the peaceful countryside and the raw volcanic landscape. Everywhere you look, there is something spectacular: endless grasslands, rolling hills, distant mountains, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature on a completely different scale.

One of the highlights of the area is Kusasenri Grassland. Walking across this beautiful open landscape, with horses grazing in the distance and mountains surrounding the horizon, feels almost unreal. It is a perfect place to take photographs, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and simply appreciate the scenery.

Another fascinating stop is the Aso Volcano Museum, where you can learn about the geological history of the volcano and understand the incredible forces that shaped this region.

My personal travel tips:

· Rent a car if possible. Having your own transportation makes exploring the Aso region much easier.
· Visit Kusasenri and allow yourself enough time to enjoy the scenery rather than rushing through.
· Wear comfortable walking shoes, as some areas have uneven volcanic terrain.
· Bring a jacket, even on sunny days. The weather can be quite different at higher elevations.
· Check the volcanic alert level and crater access information before your visit. Mount Aso is an active volcano, and access restrictions can change.
· Never cross safety barriers or enter restricted areas.
· Keep a safe distance from grazing horses and respect the surrounding nature.
· Bring some snacks and water, especially if you plan to explore the walking trails.

Important note for travellers: The Nakadake crater access has been subject to restrictions due to volcanic activity. As of the latest information available for November 2026, Kusasenri remains accessible, while the crater area is restricted. Always check the official updates before travelling.
