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.

Very easy and convenient to use it - just buy the ticket and open it in app, show QR code to staff at JR Station and till them what date you wanna start your journey and that's it. might be same price as other (you might get some promo code for discount) but very convenient if you booked everything via Trip.com

Reviews: Kyushu Secrets: Kumamoto Castle, Mount Aso, and Kusasenri Day Tour (Optional Including the Aso Train)

Tour guide Sun Nan was very professional and managed the time very well. He answered all the questions and explained each attraction clearly, giving us enough time to move around freely. The Aso dairy products recommended by Guide Sun were really delicious! I would recommend this day trip to friends who are going to Aso👍

Here we go! Time to write a review! First of all, this ticket is indeed quite cost-effective, especially if you buy it during a discount period. Secondly, it's easy to use; just have the store scan your QRCord. Next, and very importantly, some attractions require advance booking. My advice is to book only the day before you're sure you have a reservation. Natural disasters, flight/train cancellations/delays can all cause trip cancellations, and in those cases, booked tickets cannot be cancelled; you'll have to buy new ones. Also! Even if you don't use the ticket, it cannot be used again after the expiration date. Teamlab Forest isn't usually crowded, and you can buy admission tickets on-site.
