I participated in a bus tour for the first time by myself. Since it was a tour for international guests, I was a bit worried. The guide, Ms. Pandora, was from China, but she was kind and attentive, providing explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese with great care. There were many Japanese guests as well, and it was very enjoyable, so I didn't have to worry at all.初めて、1人でバスツアーに参加しました。
海外の方用のツアーと言う事で、少し心配でした。
ガイドのパンドラさんは中国の方でしたが、優しくて気配りも良く、日本語、英語、中国語で丁寧に説明してくださいました。
お客さんも日本の方も多くて、とても楽しくて全然心配いりませんでした。

The tour departed from JR Hakata Station at 8 AM and concluded at 6:30 PM. About 50 participants joined from Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan, and the United States.

The itinerary included three shrines and Takachiho Gorge. The deep green mountains were beautiful. Since it had rained beforehand, the river had a lot of water, but it was clear, and the riverbed was visible.

I participated with a friend who came from afar. We had originally signed up for a different tour in the same area, but since it was canceled, we quickly registered for this one.

I felt it was good for planning since this tour was confirmed to operate.

The tour's itinerary was designed to allow for a leisurely pace, so it was nice to be able to move around without feeling rushed.

I stopped by Josenji, famous for its weeping cherry blossoms, instead of the colorful Kumanoza Shrine. It seems to be part of the cherry blossom viewing season (it was a nice place, but I gave it four stars because I found out about the course change on the day of my visit).

Additionally, it was great to efficiently visit Takachiho Gorge, Amano Iwato Shrine, and Amano Yasugawara, which can be quite challenging to access individually. I was worried that I might return to Hakata Station late on Su…

上色見熊野座神社でなく枝垂れ桜で有名な浄専寺に立ち寄りました。花見シーズンのコースだそうです(良いところでしたが、コース変更を当日知ったので星4つにしました)。
この他、個人で行くにはなかなか大変な高千穂峡、天岩戸神社、天安河原を効率よく回れて良かったです。
日曜日で博多駅帰着が遅れるかも?と思っていましたが、時間通りで後の予定を変更せずにすみました。

Yō-san, our guide, is a wonderful woman who is a super bilingual in Japanese, English, and Chinese. She taught us about Takachiho Gorge, the myths of the gods, and Mount Aso in three languages to about 40 participants from America, Indonesia, China, and us four Japanese. She really knows her stuff. Thanks to Yō-san, it was a fun tour. I am grateful. Places like Takachiho Gorge are not easy to visit. I think it's a good idea to participate in tours like this.ガイドのようーさんは日本語、英語そして中国語を操る超バイリンガルの素敵な女性です。彼女は当日の参加者アメリカ、インドネシア、中国そして私達日本人4人合わせて40人位に3言語で高千穂峡について、神々の神話、阿蘇山等よ〜〜く教えてくれました。本当に勉強なさってます。ようーさんのおかげで楽しいツアーとなりました。感謝しています。高千穂峡のような場所はなかなかいけないような場所です。このようなツアーに参加すると良いと思います。

This is a tour for overseas travelers (I applied because two tour companies for Japanese people canceled their tours).

This time, the bus stopped at the parking lot near Higashihongu, and since there wasn't much time, we visited the shrine in front of the torii gate. We skipped lunch and took a taxi from Takachiho Gorge to Takachiho Shrine as well.

I was glad that everything I wanted to see was included in the package. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to go to Amano Iwato Shrine, so I hope to come back someday. It would be convenient to have tours that can be enjoyed from Fukuoka. I would like to participate in a different tour next time.

Takachiho Gorge was just as beautiful as the pictures and videos I had seen, but the actual scenery was even more enchanting. Not only was the weather perfect, making it a wonderful experience, but I was also very satisfied with the tour guide, who was from China and explained everything clearly after being very well-prepared.高千穂峡は写真や映像で見たままの景色でしたが、実景はさらに幻想的なものでした。

I was really wondering if we could visit all these places, but it turned out to be just right for my impatient self who likes to move quickly. We didn't have time to ride a boat at Takachiho Gorge, and my child was saying they wanted to go on one. It was a shame that we didn't have time to buy souvenirs at each location. Since our stay at the parking area was short, we couldn't do any shopping. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't spend any money.本当にこんなにまわれるのかなぁ~と思ってましたが、
さっさと周ってせっかちな私にはちょうど良かったです。
高千穂峡で船に乗る時間が無くて子供が乗りたかったと言ってました。

The bus was small, and while I was wandering around behind a larger bus, someone came to guide me. I was very happy about that. Also, even though the explanations along the way were not given by a Japanese person, they were very easy to understand, full of humor, and I had a great time.

The tour guide provided explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and English.
At Shirakawa Suigen, I bought a large okra for 100 yen from a self-service vegetable stand, and it was very delicious.
However, as soon as we entered the lunch spot, which was a private home, it smelled musty, and the wagyu lunch was mediocre, leaving everyone silent.
Other than that, it was a tour that I felt was worth going on.

白川水源で無人野菜を100円で売っていて沢山入った大きなオクラを買いましたがとても美味しかったです
