Excellent, really enjoyed it, our guide was lovely and really helpful. The food was also delicious 5*
Mr. Tanoue, made our day incredible. The tour was amazing, he knew everything by the statues, he was kind enough to learn some of our language, and the day was amazing. I totally recommend this tour. This is the best way to visit the 10 statues. Thanks Mr. Tanoue.
This was such an amazing experience right from the start. Our tour guide and driver Mr. Bono was very kind, professional and fun to be on the tour with. We got to see all 10 of the statues, get souvenirs and learned a lot about the history of each location thanks to our guide.
What a fantastic experience! My guide and driver, Miss Mori, was both professional and personable. She made the trip both educational and fun, and ensured I got the most out of every stop. Please note that not every shop takes credit cards, so you’ll want to take cash too. There were people at every stop we went, but we only needed to wait a few times to take pictures. Ms. Mori shared information about each stop with me too, and made sure my needs were well taken care of. Through this tour, I was also able to see more of the natural beauty that is Kumamoto and take in breathtaking views. I highly recommend the grand tour, and if you’re lucky you will be guided by the wonderful Ms. Mori. ❤️🌻
Thank you for your highly recommending our grand tour! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed Kumamoto's breathtaking nature and had a great experience with Ms. Mori. She will be thrilled to read your kind words. Thank you also for the great tip about bringing cash! We hope to see you again on your next trip.
Must do experience for any One Piece fan. Great way of seeing the beautiful landscape, learning how the earthquake affected the area and seeing the Straw Hats life size! Our guide Yamada san was amazing and very fun to have guide us through this experience
Thank you for such an awesome review! We completely agree—it is a dream come true for any One Piece fan to see the life-size Straw Hats! We are also deeply touched that you took the time to learn about how the earthquake affected the region; your support means a lot to us. Yamada-san will be absolutely thrilled to read your compliments. Thank you for making the tour so much fun with your great energy, and we hope to see you on your next adventure!
Great tour! The scenery was beautiful . Luna is an amazing driver and guide! We had lots of fun
Thank you for your fantastic review! We are thrilled you had a fun tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We will definitely pass your compliments on to Luna. We hope to see you again!
Runa was an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the guided tour. She also takes great pictures if you’re traveling solo and want a picture with the statues. We were able to go to all the statues in one day, and purchase the figures. Each character has two figures (gold and colored). Depending on the day you go, the one you want might not be available. For example, they didn’t have the colored Luffy figure in stock when I visited. There is also an included lunch during the tour that was amazing. 10/10 would recommend this tour service if you are a huge One Piece fan visiting Kumamoto, Japan!!
Wow, thank you for such an epic review! It is the ultimate adventure for any huge One Piece fan, and we are so happy Runa could be your guide. We will be sure to let her know how much you appreciated her knowledge and photography skills! It is a shame the colored Luffy figure was out of stock, but we are glad you had a great time collecting the others and enjoying the local lunch. Thank you for your 10/10 recommendation, and we hope to see you on your next grand line adventure in Japan!
