Kumamoto Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“A great visit to Mt. Aso”

Steve's was very knowledgeable about the area and knew of a couple less crowded spots to take in the scenery. It was a nice day on the mountain when I went and I was able to get a hike in. He was also flexible about the tour, allowing it to be adjusted on the fly if I found something along the way I wanted to see instead. I will definitely consider him again if I make it back to Kyushu.

“French People visiting aso”

Very Nice driver Who take his time explaining the interesting spots, but our knowledge of japanese is very weak.

“An amazing adventure in Kumamoto”

Steve was, by far, the best guide I could ever have. We did the tour for about 8,5 hours (which seemed a lot, but felt like nothing). We started going straight to Jinbe's statue. Since it was early in the morning, the store where I could buy the mini figure wasn't open yet. But Steve was one step ahead and already had one statue for me in the trunk of the car. During the drive from statue to statue, Steve talked about the curiosities of Kumamoto, and gave us some info about the tragic earthquakes from 2016. The second statue was Brook, another one with the store unavailable (the store doesn't open on some days of the week). Steve, once again, had a statue to sell me. Later, we went to Sanji's, then Nami's. Both stops were terrific, but Nami's was absolutely amazing. Later, we went to Franky's, and then we made our way to Robin's statue. This one is the most impressive of them all. It is the one where you really understand the meaning of having those statues around Kumamoto. For the final part of the journey, we went to Usopp's, Zoro's, Chopper's, and Luffy's statues. Getting to the captain as the final stop felt both amazing and sad at the same time. We were amazed by the journey and having our captain say farewell, but we were also unhappy because it meant it was the end. Steve made this journey pleasant. Besides driving the whole time, he also took some fantastic pictures of us at the stops. He helped get the statues (talking in Japanese with the people around) and managed to drop us in the best spot possible at each statue. If you're still wondering if you should do this tour with Steve, hear me out: The guy is the best. Just go for it and enjoy this fantastic day.

Hey hey my Brazilian friend! Thank you so much for your kind words. You were both great guests. It was my first time to have YouTubers on a tour. It was a great experience!. I’ll be going to your country as well, so please show me around, as you know, I’d love a food tour!
