Samurai Streets, Somen Streams & Stunning Views in Kagoshima

What. A. Day. Kagoshima completely stole our hearts—thanks to our amazing guide Yaron and the absolute MVP of drivers, Momo! We started by stepping back in time at the Chiran Samurai Residences, where peaceful gardens and old-world charm made us feel like we were living in a samurai movie. Then Yaron took us to drink the best macha and ic e cream - yum! And on our way back to the car to meeet Momo, Yaron bought some fish food so our kids could feed the koi fish along the side of the road. Then came the views: Kaimon Volcano rising dramatically over the sea, looking like it was plucked straight from a painting. Pure magic. We visited a sea horse farm where there was the cutest torii gate and shrine. For lunch Yaron took us to the best somen noodles in town! Catching noodles out of water chutes at a flowing somen restaurant was an experience will never forget and the kids loved their first Japanese somen! It was delicious chaos in the best way. We feasted like locals—grilled fish, inari, and dishes we couldn’t pronounce but now dream about daily. And then—plot twist—my husband had a mission: find the original Pokémon game for Game Boy. Instead of laughing us off, Momo made a few calls, found a local vintage game store, confirmed they had it, and detoured us there before heading to the port. Literal hero move. We wrapped the day at Lake Ikeda, home to Japan’s very own Loch Ness Monster, Isshii. No confirmed sightings (yet), but the lake was stunning and full of mystery. Huge love to Yaron and Momo for making this day unforgettable. From samurais to somen to beautiful views, Kagoshima hit every note.

Dear Cristin, It was such a pleasure to spend time with your family — I truly enjoyed every minute! We were also lucky to have such beautiful weather. I wish I could have shown you even more… so I guess that means you’ll just have to come back! (: There’s still so much to see in Kagoshima and on the amazing island of Kyushu. And the kids eating the somen noodles even without the sauce — that was cool! Thank you all :-)

Perfect excursion

We had a great time with Eiji. Communication was very easy, and the meeting was perfect. We had some logistical issues, but he waited for us without any problem, and we did the tour as planned. As a bonus, we were lucky enough to witness a live eruption.

Thank you for coming to my tour, Joel. Happy to hear that you enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed sharing time with you and your family, as well as the eruption!!

Highly recommend tour around Kagoshima

We had a wonderful day touring with Mr. Yamada! He was waiting with a sign right outside the cruise terminal. He took us to all the places we wanted to see, including a stunning volcano, a historic samurai house, and a beautiful garden. He was incredibly kind, patient, and easy to communicate with using Google Translate. His warm and thoughtful nature made the day feel effortless and special. We’re so grateful for his hospitality and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Japan!
