What to expect

When we start the tour, the travelers will first pass through Fukuoka, a bustling city with modern architecture, historic temples, and notable landmarks like Fukuoka Tower and Hakata Station. As the bus moves away from the city, the scenery changes to the serene countryside with lush rice fields, rolling hills, and traditional Japanese homes dotting the landscape. On clear days, travelers may catch distant views of the mountains in Aso-Kuju National Park, famous for its volcanoes and expansive highlands. The route may also include crossing or traveling alongside the Chikugo River, offering picturesque views of the region's waterways. Along the way, the natural scenery becomes a peaceful backdrop before arriving in Kumamoto, where the urban landscape of Kumamoto City begins to unfold with bustling streets, shops, and local restaurants, leading up to the grand Kumamoto Castle.
