Privérondleiding: Mt. Aso-vulkaan, graslanden, Aso-heiligdom
Beschrijving
Beginnend met een bezoek aan ons historische Aso-heiligdom, dat een geschiedenis van meer dan 2000 jaar kent, kunt u de Japanse manier van bidden ontdekken. Je gids neemt je vervolgens mee naar de aangrenzende Monzenmachi, een van de oudste straten in Aso; waar veel winkels in de rij staan. Je kunt de mineraalwaterbronnen uitproberen en langs de met bomen bedekte laan wandelen. Na onze lunch bezoeken we de top van de berg Aso, waar je de adem van de aarde kunt voelen. Het is een echte traktatie om onze levende aarde te ervaren, en hoe de lokale bevolking hun religie verbindt met de omringende natuur.

Great sunny day and the guide is so familiar with Mt Aso and the grasslands. Its her playground! We are in very good hands. She a trekker as well so if you are game to trek, she is the guide.
Kana is an excellent tour guide, answering all our questions and when she didn’t know something, she would say so! Unfortunately the volcano level went from 1 (viewable) to 2 (non-viewable). We still got into the National Park and could see the volcano from afar. She offered a couple of alternatives which turned out to be just as good, if not better!. The Shinto Shrine ceremony in the morning was one of the many highlights. She was adaptive (pescatarian for lunch), and willing to show us as many things as possible in our tour time. Kana is well traveled with good English skills. One of the most interesting alternatives was a “once a month” Shinto story performance in her home town. She explained the storyline and we got to meet and get pictures with the performers. A special thanks for getting us onto the most direct road to Beppu!
Thank you so much for your kind review — it really meant a lot and was very helpful for me. I am relieved to hear you arrived safely in Beppu! Wishing you and your family a wonderful rest of your trip in Japan, with lots of fun and a little help from the “Volcano God” of Aso😊
Our guide Kana Illig was very friendly and accommodating. Being an Aso resident, she shares generously about local practices and culture. The prayer session in the Aso Shrine was very enlightening as this is our first time after so many visits to Japan. Trekking to vantage points to get awesome views! Overall, we had a wonderful experience in Aso from beginning to end! Thanks Kana and driver for making this memorable!
Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. I am truly delighted to hear that your day in Aso was a meaningful and enjoyable one. There are still many more wonderful places to discover in Aso, so if you have the chance, I would love for you to visit again. We look forward to welcoming you back someday!
This tour made for a great day. We were coming by train from Kumamoto and our guide Kana helped us book the train tickets back. Then we went to the shrine which was beautiful; there was a wedding (we were able to catch a peek), so we couldn’t have the “special blessing” included in the tour. It was agreed we would come back later for it. Then we walked around the town for a bit and had a delicious lunch of local beef. After lunch, we drove to the Aso crater and took a short hike (30 mins) to the top. It was very impressive. Kana was very friendly, asked us questions as to our preferences and did her best to accommodate them. After the volcano tour, we went back to the shrine where we had a beautiful Shinto blessing experience. It was very moving and interesting. Would recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. I'm very glad to hear that you had a wonderful time in Aso. It was a very enjoyable day for me as well. Although it was quite cold for April, we were lucky to have a clear view of the scenery. I pray that, with the blessings of the gods of Aso, the rest of your journey will be fulfilling and memorable!
Wonderful guides Yuko and Joyce. Don’t hesitate to book this experience. So grateful for our time with them!
Thank you for joining our tour. We also appreciate your kind comments despite your busy schedule. We hope that you and your family will enjoy the rest of your trip in good health and safety. We look forward to seeing you and your family in Aso again in a different season.
It was really great. Nathalie knows so much about this area; the absolutely interesting Shintozeremonie, the nice Tea tasting, the delicious Bento Box and the impressiv Vulkano.
Thank you for joining our tour. We are very grateful that you appreciated our guide, Natalie. We are very glad that you enjoyed not only the natural beauty of the national park, but also the history and culture of our region, as well as the food. This time we visited in early spring, but we hope you will come again next time in the season of beautiful greenery.
Arriving by train at Aso station, we were greeted warmly by our guide, Natalie, right outside the station. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Aso town and Aso-san, and told us in great detail the local history and traditions. Very graciously, Aso-san allowed us to view the crater at the end of our tour (as poor conditions can make it unsuitable for viewing) and although we went overtime, Natalie was more than happy to take us for a tour. Amazing experience.
Thank you for joining our tour. We also appreciate your kind review. Our guide, Natalie, was very happy. For us, hearing from our customers is the most rewarding thing. And it was a relief to be able to go to the crater of Mt. Aso Nakadake. I'm sure the gods of Aso were welcoming you there. This time you visited in winter, but we hope you'll come again next time in the season when the greenery is in full bloom.
Joyce was very nice and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed her guided tour. It made the Aso experience more accessible than if we’d explored on our own (mother + 7yo).
Thank you for joining our tour and for posting a review. Receiving comments like this is a great encouragement to us. Our guide on the day, Joyce, lives in Aso, and would be happy to show you the charms of Aso in each season as a local. Please come to Aso again in the green season of summer. Regards.
The tour with Nathalie was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable about the cultural, religious and environmental dimensions of Asos and its surroundings, making the tour very informative and lively.
Thank you for joining our tour. We also appreciate your kind words. We think it is very important to experience both the nature and the history and culture of the national park. Your feedback will be a great encouragement for us. Thank you very much.
This was an outstanding custom tour that we worked out in advance. Our tour guide Kana-san is a local of the area and knew her way around - we felt like we were getting an "insider tour" done especially for us. We hit all the highlights in Aso area, great views and some fun hiking and history. Kana-san also had some "secret gems" to show us that we didn't expect, and were really worthwhile. I'll keep her secret safe and all I will say is that the corn was great. Thank you. This was the best guided tour we've ever had.
