I wanted to visit the filming location at Kamino Iro Mi Kumanoza Shrine and was looking for a tour, but there were none available. I found a comment about a tour for foreigners, and the driver was also a foreigner, with only one Japanese person in the group. I was worried that if I got lost while wanting to explore the walking paths at Takachiho Gorge, I might not be able to return. However, I felt more anxious about renting a car, so I decided to take the bus instead. I saved a photo of the bus number and its features (this time it was blue, which made it easy to identify). I made sure to confirm the meeting time every time and participated alone. The driver was Japanese, and the guide spoke three languages, which was a relief. During lunch, I met someone from my hometown who had their trip postponed due to snow the day before, and we agreed that we should travel while we are still able to move!
Although the lunch provided on the tour often differed from the photos, I was surprised to find that it even included alcohol for such a reasonable price. There were some areas of the walking path at Takachiho Gorge under construction due to the typhoon, and I mistakenly thought we could ride the shuttle bus multiple times. My companion and I ended up getting on a different tour bus. I felt that it would have been better if the guide had explained, "We will meet here at this time to take the shuttle bus back to the bus area." Additionally, there was a woman listening to music without headphones. There were two instances of people not adhering to the meeting time, and when it was time to board the bus, they didn’t apologize, which felt quite natural to them. I think it would be better to firmly communicate at the beginning that "In Japan, if you are late for the meeting time, you will be left behind!" I would like to visit again after the construction on the walking path is completed.
映画撮影場所の上色見熊野座神社に行ってみたくてツアーを探していたものの他になく、コメントで外国人向けツアー.ドライバーも外国の方で日本人は1人きり等あり、高千穂峡で遊歩道周りたいのに迷って乗り遅れたら帰れないかもと不安でしたが、レンタカーの方が不安で帰りは寝ていられると、バスの番号と特徴(今回青で分かりやすい)を写真に保管.毎回集合時間さえ必ず確認しようと独りで参加。ドライバーさんは日本人·ガイドさんも3ヶ国話されたのでひと安心。昼食時に前日雪で中止でずらされた方が同郷の方で、身体が動く内に旅行するべきと意気投合しました!
ツアーの昼食では写真と違うこと多いものの、お酒まであってこの料金で良いの?と思う程でした。
高千穂峡の遊歩道が台風の影響で工事中の箇所あり、シャトルバスは何度も乗れるかと勘違いして違うツアーのバスに2人で乗ってしまったので、ガイドさんと歩き解散する場所で「ここに何時何分に集合してシャトルバスに乗ってバスの所まで送って貰う」と説明が良いと感じました。あと音楽をイヤホンなしで聞いてる女性.2回集合時間を守らない方がいて、バス乗る時に謝りの言葉なく当然という感じだったので「日本では集合時間に遅れたら置いて行く!」と初めにきつく伝えるべきかなと思います。遊歩道の工事完了後にまた行きたいと思います。

The bus was mostly filled with 25 Chinese tourists besides us, and due to the heavy snow, we couldn't see Mount Aso. Walking to the hot springs was difficult in the snow, but the only highlight was Kumamoto Castle, which was great! I want to go again in the summer next time!

There were only my daughter and me as Japanese participants. Aside from one family from an English-speaking country, the rest were users from Chinese-speaking regions, but we had more than enough fun.
The guide was trilingual and always followed up with me and another group who didn't understand Chinese in Japanese and English, so I was able to trust the tour completely and feel at ease.
The timing was just right, and I enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with a bus tour. It was very helpful that they shared local specialties and recommendations.
Some people might feel a bit hesitant about mingling with foreigners, but I had a great time, so I highly recommend it.
My elementary school daughter also had a lot of fun and was able to spend the time with a smile! Thank you very much.
日本人参加者は私と娘だけ。
あと英語圏のご家族1組を除けば、あとは中国圏の利用者のみでしたが、十分以上に楽しめました。

As everyone has mentioned, this is a tour aimed at foreign visitors from Asia. Since it's a day trip to Takachiho, there’s no wasted time, and we don’t stop at souvenir shops, which allows us to fully enjoy the local experience. There were three Japanese people, including myself and a friend. Most of the participants were from Taiwan, and Chinese was the main language spoken, but important points and simple explanations were provided in Japanese for the three of us. The driver also engaged with us during breaks, which was reassuring. The foreign participants were very quiet, and it seemed that everyone had signed up individually, which was polite. It was a strange experience to have a guide speaking Chinese in Japan. The meals were good, and there were no people drinking alcohol, which helped keep us on schedule. Since it’s quite a walking tour, wearing comfortable sneakers is advisable. I would love to participate again. Thank you to the guide and driver on January 17th.
皆さんが書いてある通り、アジア系の外国の方向きのツアーです。日帰りで高千穂旅行なので、無駄もなくお土産屋さんなどよらず現地時間をとられいます。日本人は私と、友人と、もう一人いらっしゃいました。台湾のかたが多く中国語がメインでしたが、大事なことや、簡単な説明は日本語で3人集めてお話してくれましたし、運転手のかたも休憩の時話しかけてくれたり安心でした。同乗されている外国の方もとても静かで皆さん個人で申し込まれているようで、礼儀正しかったです。日本なのにガイドが、中国語なので不思議な体験が、出来ました。食事もアルコール飲んでいる人もおらず時間も守っていて良かったです。かなり歩くツアーなので履き慣れた運動靴が良いですよ。また参加したいツアーでした。1/17の担当のガイドさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。

I wanted to visit Takachiho Gorge and the surrounding shrines, but I was considering how inconvenient transportation would be without a car. Then I found this tour, which had a great schedule and content, so I decided to join.
Although it was an inbound tour, the guide was knowledgeable about Japanese language and history, and was very friendly. I participated alone, but I was able to chat along the way and really enjoyed the tour.
For lunch, we ate at a charming restaurant with a thatched roof, serving a variety of beautiful and delicious dishes, which left me very satisfied!
Takachiho Gorge had a stunning contrast between the deep green water and the waterfalls. I had seen many photos, but the power and grandeur that can only be experienced on-site was truly moving.
The last stop, Amano Iwato Shrine, was a place I really wanted to visit. It was a very clean and pure location, and just being there and praying felt like it cleared my heart!
I had such a great time that I would love to join the same course again. Thank you for the enjoyable and moving memories!
高千穂峡と周辺の神社に行きたかったのですが、車がないと回り切るには交通が不便で思案していた所、こちらのツアーが日程も内容も良かったので参加させて頂きました。
インバウンド向けのツアーではありましたが、ガイドさんも日本語や歴史に精通していてとても気さくな方で、1人で参加しましたが道中お話させて頂いて楽しくツアーを回る事ができて楽しかったです。
ランチも茅葺き屋根の建物がある雰囲気のあるご飯屋さんで、品数が多く見栄えのする美味しいご飯で大満足でした!
高千穂峡は深い深緑の水の色合いと滝のコントラストが見事で、写真では散々見ましたが現地でないと体感出来ない迫力や壮大さがあって大感動。
最後の天岩戸神社は本当に行きたかった所で、とても空気のキレイな清浄な場所で伺って祈るだけで心が現れる様でした!
とても楽しかったので、同じコースでもう一回参加したいくらいです。楽しく感動的な思い出を有難うございました!

I didn't confirm enough, but it seems the tour I participated in was aimed at Chinese tourists, as the guide's explanations were in Chinese. Therefore, the explanations in Japanese were minimal, and I wasn't fully satisfied with the experience. Since Japanese was the third language for me, that aspect reduced my enjoyment.

The time allocation and meals were excellent. However, I understood that it was a tour mainly for foreigners, but all the announcements were in Chinese. I was in a situation where I didn't understand the attractions, meeting points, or times, and when I asked, they only provided the time. If there had been pamphlets for Japanese people or announcements in English, I think I would have enjoyed it much more.

I had prepared myself for a one-star experience, but it turned out to be just fine. The main language was Chinese, and all the explanations were in that language as well, but I had checked the websites of the places we visited, so it was totally okay not to understand everything. As long as I knew the meeting place and time, it was no different from a Japanese tour.
For this price, I thought the content was definitely worth it. We were taken to various places, which felt like a good deal. Each stop was relaxed, allowing us time to buy souvenirs and take bathroom breaks. I was glad it wasn't a tight schedule.
The guide was also very kind, so there were no issues at all.

There were about 20 participants, including myself as the only Japanese, a Korean parent and child, and the rest were Chinese (including the guide). Instead of a sightseeing bus, we departed in three HiAce vans from a taxi company. We were informed that there would be no restroom breaks for the first two hours, so we headed towards Kumamoto Castle. Once we arrived, there was immediately a restroom break, and after receiving our entrance tickets, we had free time. Overall, everyone seemed to share similar impressions as the reviews suggested. Indeed, compared to Japanese travel companies, they might be slightly less efficient, but considering the public transportation is inconvenient around Aso, if you view it as transportation and lunch costs, I had no particular complaints.
By the way, since the participation date was just before a holiday, we returned an hour late due to heavy traffic. (Later, when I spoke with other travel companies, they mentioned that the traffic on that day was quite severe.) If you have a flight to catch, please be cautious.
参加は、日本人は自分だけ、韓国人親子、あとは中国人(ガイドさんも)の約20名。観光バスではなく、タクシー会社のハイエース3台で出発。2時間まではトイレ休憩なしとのことで、熊本城へ向かいました。着いたら、すぐトイレ時間があり、入場券をもらったら、その後は自由行動。概ね、皆さんが口コミ通りの感想です。たしかに、日本の旅行会社と比較すると、若干手際が悪いかも知れませんが、阿蘇のあたりは公共交通機関が不便なので、交通費+ランチ代と割り切っていれば、特に不満はありません。
ちなみに、参加日が祝日前で帰りがすごい渋滞で1時間遅れの帰着でした。(後日、他の旅行会社さんと話したところ、この日の渋滞はすごかったと話題になっていたそうです。)飛行機の時間がある方などはご注意を。

I was a bit anxious because I heard from reviews that the tour mainly consisted of foreigners, including Chinese tourists, but I was very satisfied to finally visit Takachiho and Amano Iwato Shrine on a day trip bus tour from Hakata.

We departed with about 20 participants on a microbus. Aside from the four of us, the others were from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. The guide and the driver were not Japanese, but they provided guidance in fluent Japanese and Chinese.
The first stop was the Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine in Minami-Aso. After climbing a long, steep staircase, we reached the shrine. Further back, there was a large wind hole called Suentokuiwa. After that, we enjoyed a lunch of grilled dengaku at the Dengaku Preservation Society right in front of us. The grilled yamame with crispy skin was delicious.
We then traveled for about an hour by bus to Takachiho Gorge. It was crowded with many visitors, but the bus took us right to the promenade, making sightseeing easy. We only had about an hour to stay, so we couldn't ride the boats as the same-day tickets were already sold out. We enjoyed the magnificent scenery and ended our visit with a stroll at Amano Iwato. I felt the grandeur of nature once again.
We returned to Hakata Station by bus in three hours. I am grateful to the driver for getting us there earlier than planned.

Since the explanations of the sightseeing content are not in Japanese, it sounds boring and just like noise.

It felt a bit challenging with all the movement, but I was glad to visit places I wouldn't normally go. I was taken to some great locations.

It would have been nice to hear more enjoyable details about the scenery and local information from the bus guide. I think the Korean guide was probably saying other things too. For Japanese people, the tour felt somewhat lacking.

There was no Japanese guide since I was on the same bus as Chinese tourists, and only one Japanese person. The reception was in Japanese, but the guide spoke entirely in Chinese, and the instructions were given in Chinese followed by only a few words in Japanese with a Chinese accent, making it difficult to understand. After several minutes of explanation in Chinese, the instructions in Japanese, like "10 minutes," were just single words indicating when to gather. While I can hold a basic conversation, I would prefer clear Japanese instructions for confirmations about meeting times and locations. Additionally, there are places where the meeting point is listed as Fukuoka Station instead of Hakata Station, which should be corrected. The tourist spots were good, but I felt the time spent there was too short.
中国人観光客と同じバスで日本人1人のせいか日本語ガイドなし。受付は日本語でしたがガイドは全て中国語で、行動指示は中国語のあとに中国語なまりの日本語での単語のみなので日本語と理解できませんでした。何分も中国語での説明に続けて日本語で「10分」など10分後に集合するという意味の指示も単語でした。日常会話はできるが、ガイドとして何時にどこで集合などハッキリした日本語で本人への確認をして欲しいです。システムの集合場所の表記も博多駅を福岡駅と表記されてる箇所あるので修正した方がいいです。
観光地は良かったが滞在時間は短く感じました。

Recommended Points: A day trip bus tour departing from Fukuoka to enjoy the stunning views and history of Miyazaki and Takachiho.
Includes: Lunch / Bus fare / Guide fee (available in Japanese, English, and Chinese) / Insurance fee
Schedule: Takachiho Gorge (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes)
This information was found on Veltra's page.
For this bus tour, there were two vehicles: one for Japanese participants and one for international guests.
1. There were too few guides...
When we arrived at Amano Iwato Shrine and Amano Yasugawara, could you at least introduce a god or share one of the myths? (There seemed to be too many introductions to souvenir shops.)
2. Can you stick to the schedule...?
According to the schedule, lunch was supposed to be at 12:00, but we arrived at Takachiho Gorge at 12:22, and we reached the restaurant at 12:45. After arranging the seats, lunch was served at 12:55.
The guide mentioned we would stay at Takachiho Gorge for one hour.
There is quite a difference between "90 minutes" and "60 minutes," don't you think?
As a bus tour: 4 stars, as a guide: 2 stars. Average: 3 stars.
We arrived at the sightseeing spots properly, thank you.
There are people overseas who want to know about Japanese stories.
Fortunately, I did some research before departing, so I could manage without explanations.
It was really disappointing as my expectations were not met.
おすすめポイント: 福岡発着、宮崎・高千穂の絶景や歴史を満喫する日帰りバスツアー。
含まれるもの: 昼食 / バス代 / ガイド代(日英中対応可能) / 保険料
スケジュール: 高千穂峡 (約1時間30分)
以上、Veltraのページに載っていました。
今回のバスツアー、車は2台でした。日本の方一台、海外の方一台。
1.ガイドが少ない…
天岩戸神社&天安河原に着いたら、せめて神様の紹介や神話の一つを言ってくださいませんか。(土産屋の紹介が多すぎませんか?)
2.スケジュールを守ってもらえますか…
スケジュールによるとランチは12時のはずだ、
あの日高千穂峡に着いたのはもう12時22分、そして12:45にレストランに到着、席の手配が終わった、ランチは12時55分でした。
ガイドさんは高千穂峡に1時間滞在しますと言っていました。
”90分”と”60分”で結構な差があります、そう思いませんか?
バスとして:星4、ガイドとして:星2。平均:星3。
観光スポットはちゃんと着いた、ありがとうございました。
海外でも日本の物語を知りたいの人がいます。
幸い、出発する前に一応調べだ、説明がなくでもいけます。
少々期待外れ本当に残念でした。

I applied for this tour without knowing it was for Chinese tourists. I was the only Japanese person, and it felt like I had traveled abroad while being in Japan.
Without any prior notice, the guide started speaking in Chinese, and I began to worry that there wouldn't be any Japanese guidance. Fortunately, they provided the minimum information regarding the meeting place and time, but after that, I felt a bit neglected. It seemed like they assumed that since I was Japanese, I could manage on my own.
Just because I'm Japanese doesn't mean I know the places, and I wanted explanations about the history and locations. When I asked, "What is this place about?" the guide replied, "I'm Chinese, so I don't know. Other Japanese people research before coming, so I don't provide explanations." When I asked, "What kind of explanations do you give to the Chinese guests?" they said, "We don't convey much detailed history to the Chinese either; they are satisfied with just knowing it's a beautiful place."
I was surprised… with so many Chinese visitors, it was disappointing that nothing about Japanese culture was being conveyed, just the photo opportunities. It might be a cultural difference, and ultimately, I was satisfied with the itinerary since it allowed me to visit places I wouldn't have been able to on my own in a single day. This experience made me realize how diligent and passionate Japanese guides are.
The Chinese tourists in the tour were polite, quiet during meals, and punctual, so I didn't feel any discomfort in that regard. More than the content of the tour, the way the tour was conducted was quite different from what I'm used to in Japan, and that left a lasting impression on me.
こちら、中国人のためのツアーとは知らず申し込みました。私一人が日本人で、日本にいながら海外旅行に来たようでした。
何も告げられないまま、ガイドさんも中国語で話しはじめ、最初日本語のガイドはされないのではと心配になりました。
幸い最低限の集合場所、時間などの案内はしてくれますが、あとはほったらかし。
大勢の中国人相手しているんだから、日本人は自分でどうにかできるでしょう、といわんばかりの案内に少しガッカリしました。
日本人だからと場所のことを知っている訳では無いですし、歴史や場所の説明をして欲しかったのですが「この場所はどういうところなんですか?」と聞くとガイドさんは「私は中国人だからわからない、他の日本人は調べてから来るから説明はしてない」とのこと。。
「では中国の方にはどういう説明を?」と聞いたら「中国人にもあまり細かい歴史は伝えていない、綺麗な場所というだけで満足する」と。
ビックリというか…これだけ中国の方が来ているのに写真映えだけで、何も日本の文化が伝わっていないのかと残念でした。
文化の違いなのかもしれませんし、最終的には1人ではなかなか一日で回れないところを回ってくれるので行程には満足していますが、今回、改めて日本のガイドさんがいかに勤勉で熱心にガイドしてくれてるのかわかりました。
ツアーにいた中国人旅行客の方々は礼儀正しく、食事時も静かで時間も守ってくれるのでそのあたりには違和感ありませんでした。
ツアーの内容よりも、ツアーの仕方が日本のものとだいぶ違うのでそこの方が印象に残っています。
