This private tour starts off with you and your English-speaking guide heading to the highest point of the north caldera wall. Here we enjoy the jaw-dropping sight of the five peaks of Mt. Aso and the huge volcanic caldera.
After getting a feel for the landscape of Aso we head to one of the small communities that exist in the vicinity of this huge volcano. Here we will explore the true Japanese countryside and meet some of the locals who live here.
With their help, we will learn about life and culture in rural Japan, harvest vegetables, cook food, and enjoy a lunch together made from locally sourced ingredients! A true hands-on Japanese farm-to-table experience!

Wonderful morning with Max. Exactly what we wanted: authenticity, a special moment with local people — in short, a really great experience. A big thank you, Max, we’ll keep amazing memories of it!

My husband and I had the best day touring with Max! He was a wonderful companion, is extremely knowledgeable about the region, yet warm and easy to be with. I can’t say enough good things about Max and our day with him! Max picked us up at our ryokan, and we explored the gorgeous Aso Caldera, stopping at several viewpoints to see the crater and enjoy the spectacular scenery. We visited the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu shrine, an old and atmospheric shrine, a place filled with mystery and mythical legend. We walked up a long set of moss-covered steps as the sun’s rays created a magical atmosphere through the trees - a wonderful site. Finally, we had a great lunch at, Takamori Dengaku, a traditional barbecue restaurant where we grilled our food in a fire pit while we sat around it! I had initially booked the farm visit tour but, unfortunately, that tour wasn’t available but Max was willing to accommodate us and together we designed a custom tour taking in our interests. If you’re looking for a guide for Kyushu, Max is the best!

There are so many highlights of this experience! For one, travelling to the outskirts and enjoying the scenic views was amazing. The food prepared by Nuroko and Hiroko san was simple yet amazing, and it was fun harvesting yam! Max was such a lovely soul, accommodating to our needs (especially when it was raining) and was so willing to share nuggets of information about his life, how it is like in Aso and more. It was a rounded experience that I would highly recommended many to go for!

Max and Quynh took us for a farm visit and Aso lookout. The farm had 2 really cute ponies and we had great fun harvesting yam and daikon with Noriko and preparing our farm to table lunch with the family. Weather was good and we had a great view at the lookout.

Max picked us up from the Ryokan we were staying at and drove us to a local village. A lovely couple then welcomed us into their home. We started off by getting the rice cooking on the stove, then we walked to a field and dug up some potatoes and then picked some spinach. They then helped us prepare the potatoes, spinach, and some mushrooms for lunch. We then sat down to eat the meal together. Lunch also included homemade tofu and miso soup, among many other small dishes. It was heartwarming to be able to talk to the Japanese couple with Max interpreting for us. It was the best food we have eaten in Japan. Max then drove us to a lookout point so we could see the Aso Caldera, and we got some lovely photos. I couldn't recommend this experience more
