View on Google MapsHoshie is the most amazing guide one could ask for. She customized the day perfectly for me, ensuring that I got to see many of the wonders of Kagoshima. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
As someone who does not speak the Japanese language, it was extremely helpful to work with my guide, Hoshie! She communicated ahead of time to find out my likes and dislikes, suggested a perfect itinerary, and handled guiding me through a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through the city of Kagoshima, and we enjoyed a regional meal together at a fantastic restaurant. Her knowldege of the English language along with her enthusiasm for Japanese history, culture and art made this experience spectacular. I would recommend Hoshie to anyone seeking a guided tour as she is a true delight!
Very nice day in Kagoshima where we could easily visit the main points of interest of the city.

Had a really great time with a wonderful guide, Tachi, who worked around our port times for the best experience possible.
4 of us really enjoyed our tour with Tachi. His English is good. I don't really recommend going to Sakuarajima Island--we had to hire a car to get there which, with the ferry, tripled the cost of our tour. The island is interesting for its park with hot springs, but you don't really get any better views of the crater. If we had it to do over, I'd just spend the day at the Senga-en garden and Shiroyama Observatory. We would use Tachi again.
Good tour for us as first time visitors. Saw several Temples and Shrines, went on the car ferry to the volcano, walked thru a beautiful garden, and visited a glassmaking shop. After viewing the volcano we stopped at the foot bath, which was a great experience with a nice view back to Kagoshima. The dedicated driver and van was really helpful, as the sites are spread out. The guide spoke good English and was able to explain the sites and answer our questions easily. A very good tour overall.
Fantastic day spent with Jiejie. She made our tour so personalised and enjoyable with her knowledge of Kagoshima. We had a fabulous time and have made many photo memories. Thank you again.
Jiejie was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide for us in Kagoshima. We also had a private vehicle and dedicated driver that made it very easy to access many different sites. Jiejie gave a good background and history for each site, as well as recommendations for the best sites at each location. Her English skills were good. At the end, we had a fun quiz about the day, with Japanese treats as prizes! Our only small issue was that the people in the back row of seats sometimes had difficulty hearing while riding from site to site. She and the driver went above and beyond to recover a cell phone lost on the ferry while we were at the volcano viewing area. Overall a good day and we recommend Jiejie.
Excellent guide! Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Was in time with our name displayed . Great time visiting Kagoshima!
We had an exceptional experience with Kiyoko as our tour guide during our trip to Kagoshima! She took us to some of the most beautiful and historically significant spots in the area, including Sengan-en Garden, where she exemplified extended knowledge of garden’s history and its connection to the Shimadzu family. One of the highlights of our trip was the sushi lunch Kiyoko arranged for us. She took us to a local restaurant and made sure we tried a variety of regional specialties. Throughout the day, Kiyoko was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. She took the time to answer all our questions, and we appreciated her detailed explanations of the history and culture behind each location we visited. Her warm, polite, and welcoming personality made us feel so comfortable, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. If you're visiting Kagoshima, we can't recommend Kiyoko enough. She showed us the best of the city, and made our time there truly special. Thank you, Kiyoko!
