The weather was wonderful, and it was a very comfortable taxi tour. The course was adjusted considering lunchtime, and there was a good degree of flexibility in the time allocation, which gave a nice "Customer First" feeling. At the crater, we could see a little hot spring, and at Kusasenri, I rode a horse (for the first time in 50 years!), and the view from Daikanbo was an unexpectedly breathtaking panorama that moved me!

Above all, the driver (I forgot to check her name, but she was a woman who moved to Aso last year and became a driver) was very pleasant. Even though the exploration was free, she went out of her way to come to the photo spots and took pictures for us. Her explanations about the sights were comfortable and easy to talk to, which made the tour very relaxing and enjoyable! Thank you, driver! お天気にも恵まれ、とても快適なタクシー観光でした コースも お昼時を考慮し、順番を変えて下さったり、時間配分もある程度自由があり、Customer First な感じがよかったです。 火口では ちょびっとだけ湯たまりが見え、草千里では 馬に乗り（50年ぶり！）、大観峰は 予想以上の大パノラマ絶景で感動的でした！ 何より、ドライバーさん（お名前をちゃんとチェックしなくて忘れてしまいましたが、昨年阿蘇に移住してドライバーになったという女性の方）が とても感じのいい方で、散策は自由なのに、Photoスポットまで わざわざ来て、写… お天気にも恵まれ、とても快適なタクシー観光でした コースも お昼時を考慮し、順番を変えて下さったり、時間配分もある程度自由があり、Customer First な感じがよかったです。 火口では ちょびっとだけ湯たまりが見え、草千里では 馬に乗り（50年ぶり！）、大観峰は 予想以上の大パノラマ絶景で感動的でした！ 何より、ドライバーさん（お名前をちゃんとチェックしなくて忘れてしまいましたが、昨年阿蘇に移住してドライバーになったという女性の方）が とても感じのいい方で、散策は自由なのに、Photoスポットまで わざわざ来て、写真を撮ってくださったり、観光説明のお話も心地よく 話しやすいん感じの方で、とてもリラックスして観光楽しめました！ ドライバーさん ありがとうございました

The weather on the day was cloudy, but based on the cloud cover at the summit, we were able to adapt flexibly by reversing the order of visiting the crater and Kusasenri to ensure we could enjoy good views. Thanks to that, we were able to see both the crater and Kusasenri in perfect weather. We also enjoyed various guidance during the ride. On the way back, being dropped off at the accommodation in Kurokawa Onsen was very convenient compared to waiting for the bus.当日天気は曇りでしたが、山頂の雲のかかり具合から、火口と草千里の順番を逆にしたり良い景色を見れるように臨機応変に対応いただきました。お陰様で、火口も草千里もばっちり良い天気で見れました。車内でも色々ガイドいただき楽しめました。帰りも黒川温泉の宿まで送っていただるし、並んでるバスより断然タクシーが便利だと思いました。

We used this service for our trip as a couple. Since we often use sightseeing taxis at various travel destinations, we researched several sites and decided to go with this one due to the positive reviews. It turned out to be a great choice.

Kurokawa Onsen is far from the airport, so the main options for transportation are rental cars or buses, but with a sightseeing taxi, you can visit all the main attractions in Aso, such as the Aso volcano crater, Kusasenri, Daikanbo, and Nabegataki, while being taken to your accommodation. This time, we also requested a stop at Shirakawa Onsen next to Kurokawa Onsen.
We were picked up right in front of the airport arrival area, and they helped carry our luggage, making for an easy start. The driver was very talkative and full of service spirit, taking us to various spots not on the route, like Shirakawa Springs and scenic viewpoints. We were able to leisurely explore, and they informed us about limited-edition souvenirs from the crater, which we were able to purchase. The assistance during boarding and alighting was very polite, and they took great photos for us, making for wonderful memories. They also took us to a restaurant that matched our lunch preferences.
Aso has many mountain roads (especially narrow roads in Kurokawa Onsen), and finding parking at tourist spots can be time-consuming, so it would have been quite difficult with a rental car.
We were blessed with good weather, making it a very memorable anniversary trip. I highly recommend this service for those who want to enjoy sightseeing comfortably and without hassle. 今回夫婦での旅行で使わせていただきました。各地の旅行先では観光タクシーを利用することが多いので、いろいろなサイトを調べた結果、口コミの良かったこちらでお願いすることにしました。結果大正解でした。 黒川温泉は空港から遠くレンタカーかバスでの移動が主になりますが、観光タクシーを使えば阿蘇山火口、草千里、大観峰、鍋ヶ滝など阿蘇観光のメインを全てまわりながら宿まで送っていただけます。今回は黒川温泉のお隣の白川温泉までお願いしました。 空港到着口前でピックアップ、荷物も運んでくださり楽々スタートです。ドライバ… 今回夫婦での旅行で使わせていただきました。各地の旅行先では観光タクシーを利用することが多いので、いろいろなサイトを調べた結果、口コミの良かったこちらでお願いすることにしました。結果大正解でした。 黒川温泉は空港から遠くレンタカーかバスでの移動が主になりますが、観光タクシーを使えば阿蘇山火口、草千里、大観峰、鍋ヶ滝など阿蘇観光のメインを全てまわりながら宿まで送っていただけます。今回は黒川温泉のお隣の白川温泉までお願いしました。 空港到着口前でピックアップ、荷物も運んでくださり楽々スタートです。ドライバーさんはとても話上手で、サービス精神満点の方でルートにない白川水源や絶景箇所などいろいろ回ってくださいました。のんびりあちこち見て回れて、火口限定のお土産のことも教えてもらい購入できました。乗り降りのときの対応もとても丁寧で、写真も上手に撮ってくださり良い記念になりました。昼食も希望に合ったお店に連れて行ってもらいました。 阿蘇は山道も多く（黒川温泉は特に道がせまい）、観光場所では駐車場所を探す時間も惜しいのでレンタカーだったら大変そうでした。 天気にも恵まれとてもいい記念日旅行になりました。 手ぶらで楽に心地よく観光に行かれたい方にはぜひお勧めです。

On my trip with friends, we planned to explore Aso on the first day and then head to Kurokawa Onsen. Since there were only a few buses and managing our time was challenging, this taxi plan, although a bit pricey, turned out to be the best option! The driver was very kind, providing guidance and taking photos for us, going above and beyond. The weather was unstable that day, with heavy rain that felt like a storm, so I think driving a rental car would have been quite stressful.

The driver was very kind, providing guidance and taking photos for us, going above and beyond. The weather was unstable that day, with heavy rain that felt like a storm, so I think driving a rental car would have been quite stressful. We faced torrential rain on our way to Daikanbo, but miraculously, the weather cleared up when we arrived, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Daikanbo. The driver was also flexible in accommodating our needs for meals and souvenir shopping. I'm really glad we chose this option! 友人との旅行で、初日は阿蘇を巡って黒川温泉までを計画していました。バスは本数も少なく、タイムマネジメントが大変だったので、このタクシープランは、お値段はかかりますが、最適なプランでした！運転手さんはとても親切で、ガイドをしてくださったり、写真をとってくださったりと至れり尽くせりでした。お天気が不安定な日で、嵐のような雨もふったので、レンタカーであれば運転はとても不安だったと思います。ワイパーの回転が間に合わないような豪雨で大観峰に向かい、現地ではすつまかり、晴れ渡り、大観峰の景色を満喫できるとい… 友人との旅行で、初日は阿蘇を巡って黒川温泉までを計画していました。バスは本数も少なく、タイムマネジメントが大変だったので、このタクシープランは、お値段はかかりますが、最適なプランでした！運転手さんはとても親切で、ガイドをしてくださったり、写真をとってくださったりと至れり尽くせりでした。お天気が不安定な日で、嵐のような雨もふったので、レンタカーであれば運転はとても不安だったと思います。ワイパーの回転が間に合わないような豪雨で大観峰に向かい、現地ではすつまかり、晴れ渡り、大観峰の景色を満喫できるという奇跡的な思い出もできました。食事やお土産の購入にも臨機応変に対応してださくださいました。お願いしてよかったです！
