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. ❤️🌻

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!
It was very fun =) our tour guide/driver was very attentive, drove carefully and offered to take our pictures at every statue, he also explained some things to us about the places we visited. We really recommend this to any One Piece fans!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had a fun time and that our guide and driver provided attentive and safe service. It is great to know you appreciated the photo assistance at the statues and the information shared about the local areas. Thank you for highly recommending our tour to other One Piece fans. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
