Hello, 我姓鄧，英文名叫Tiffany。來日本讀書到結婚工作20多年的澳門人。現在是日本九州的中文導游(Chinese / Cantonese tour guide)。除了日語和廣東話之外,國語（普通話）流利,以及日常英文溝通都沒問題,所以我的客人大多來自香港,澳門,台灣,國內,還有馬來西亞,新加坡,還有美加華人等國籍非常多元化。由於我在日本的大學讀完研究生以後工作了差不多十年中，曾經從事過鹿兒島國際交流協會，鹿兒島觀光連盟（相當於官方旅游局）和主持過本地電視台（KYT）介紹旅游和美食的節目。所以對於九州，特別是鹿兒島這個地方的風土人情，美食特色的實務和相關專業知識,可能比日本人一點都不遜色呢（笑！） 無論您是幾個小時或者一天的短途旅遊, 或是連續幾天的深度旅遊,我相信可以為您的旅途錦上添花。 我們可以選擇去鹿兒島經典名勝的櫻島火山、仙巌園，指宿泡沙蒸溫泉，霧島的高千穗牧場親親大自然；也可以去體會潛力新景點：去看茶田，試穿和服；看千隻仙鶴在日出日落中飛舞；去霧島泡泥漿溫泉；去離島的火箭基地看火箭發射，衝浪或劃橡皮艇,甚至單車游、自駕游,甚至一起定制路線的自由行等，相信我都能滿足您的願望！數小時、半天、一天，或者跨境的多天游，都可以事前通過溝通爲您私人訂製,保證貼心安排。。。除了鹿兒島,宮崎,熊本,大分,長崎,福岡等九州各地,我都可以與您同行,讓您暢通無阻! 不要猶豫了，快來日本跟我一起領略這個九州淳樸的南方城市的美麗風情吧！ 2019年10月 Tang Tiffany 2023・03 更新

Hello, I am a retired captain of a commuter airline, with over 40 years of experience and over 22,400 flight hours focused on providing safe and comfortable travel. I have had the opportunity to visit various countries, including Japan, the United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines. After retiring, I worked as a volunteer guide for city walks in Kagoshima for eight years and obtained my certification as a certified guide for the World Heritage Sites in Kagoshima Prefecture. The joy of traveling overseas is getting to know different cultures, languages, and the unique lifestyles and food cultures of the people. However, what is most valuable to me are the memories made meeting people during travels. During my career, I focused on safely and comfortably transporting passengers. Today, I aim to continue a job that brings travelers fun and memorable experiences. I am committed to being a reliable guide for everyone and providing memorable trips.

I was born and raised on the Osumi Peninsula in the eastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture. In elementary school, I walked 4 km one way to school. I used to fuss with the neighborhood children about the kappa (a well-known Japanese specter, water imps) in the creek. In summer, I drank from the freshwater flowing into the eel pond on my way home and picked wild strawberries to eat. I aim to be a guide who can provide such "unique" and exciting experiences that I cultivated as a child. I am a local, and I can give you a guide who understands the area. I have a husband, a son, a daughter, and two cats. My home is in a rich natural environment, and in early summer, you can hear the call of the ruddy kingfisher!

Hoshie K.
Hi, I’m Hoshie! I’m a national government licensed tour guide from Osaka. I moved to Kagoshima in 2021, and after living here for four years, I’ve completely fallen in love with this amazing place. That’s why I decided to become a guide in Kagoshima! Kagoshima is a perfect blend of stunning nature and rich culture. We can see the majestic Sakurajima volcano from the city, which reminds us the powerful natural forces. Kagoshima was home to major Meiji Restoration figures, so history lovers will find plenty to explore. And of course, the food is incredible—famous for Kurobuta (Berkshire pork), Satsuma-age (fried fish cakes), and Shochu (a local distilled spirit). I’m passionate about history and love visiting historical sites all over Japan, especially in Kyoto and Nara, where I can explore Japan's ancient history. I also like outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and camping. Kagoshima’s natural landscape is perfect for these adventures, so there’s always something new to discover! I look forward to sharing wonderful Kagoshima with you and making unforgettable memories together!

Fukuyo K.
Hi, I’m Fukuyo—call me Francis! I’m originally from Kagoshima, but after spending time living in different places around Japan and abroad, I came back home three years ago. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to meet so many amazing people and learn about their history, culture, and traditions. One thing that’s really stayed with me is how important it is to connect with people—whether through chatting, sharing a meal, or simply exploring a place together—to truly understand it. Since moving back to Kagoshima, my connection to the culture and traditions here has only grown. I’m especially fascinated by Kagoshima’s beautiful traditional handicrafts. Now, I blend my deep love for this place with my belief that real connections are key to experiencing its heart. I offer tours that are authentic, fun, and all about connecting with the locals. My focus is on helping visitors learn about the local culture by interacting with the people here. I truly believe the best way to experience Kagoshima is through the people you meet, and I can’t wait to share this amazing place with you!

Hi! I’m a licensed guide living in Kagoshima. Please call me Miki ! Now I’m working as a guide and an interpreter. And I have a certificate for medical interpreter. I love to meet new people. In my town Kagoshima, there are abundant nature and places where you can experience unique local culture. My favorite place is Mt. Sakurajima. It’s one of the best active volcanoes in the world. From observatories, you could feel its energy and, moreover if you are lucky, it will erupt in front of you! If you are interested in history of Japan, here is the right place to visit because..... oops, I’ll tell you the story when we meet!! I’m very flexible and cheerful. And I’m very happy to arrange a tour for you and customize it according to your request!! So please leave your message to me and feel free to ask me if you have any questions or specific requests before you come. I’m looking forward to seeing you here Kagoshima!! Can’t wait!! Miki

“Great day in Kagoshima”
Moriaki was a very courteous gentleman. He showed us the sights of the volcano and Sengran-en garden. Communication was great. However he did speak a little quietly so sometimes a little hard to hear / understand. However he was very accomodating with our extra requests to take us to shops after the tour and waited for us.
Moriaki A.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. It was a very enjoyable day showing you around. I'll fix my habit of speaking quietly and muttering. I hope you continue to have a fun and happy journey. I hope you come to Kagoshima again if you have the opportunity. Thank you very much. Moriaki A.

“What an amazing tour , Sini ROCKS”
We had a wonderful experience exploring Kagoshima with Sini as our guide. From the moment we met her, her kindness and warmth stood out. She drove us around the area with such care and thoughtfulness, making sure we were always comfortable and engaged. Sini’s personality truly resonated with us — she’s genuine, gentle, and incredibly patient. Her passion for Kagoshima and her dedication to sharing it with visitors really came through in every moment. We’re so grateful we had the chance to spend the day with her. If you're visiting Kagoshima, we wholeheartedly recommend Sini. She's not just a great guide — she's a lovely human being who made our time in the region unforgettable.
Sini T.
Thank you Jeff and your lovely family for visiting my town! We had an unforgettable day together! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed this trip with me. Although the weather was not very clear, I felt the warmth and sunshine from your smile. I Wish you and your family happiness and joy! Thank you for your nice picture too!!

“6 hours of interest and fun in Kagoshima”
Mikiko-san provided a really interesting and fun afternoon and evening to my wife and I in Kagoshima. We visited the gardens and historical buildings at Sengan-en, unusual shops in the Tenmonkan shopping precinct, then ended at an izakaya. Mikiko-san has a great sense of humour, good knowledge, an easy pace and excellent English. I suppose we could have done it on our own, but really, our stress levels would have been higher, we wouldn't have been to as many interesting places, or have understood half as much of what we saw there. And we had a great time doing it! Mikiko-san is highly recommended.
Mikiko H.
Dear Dean, Hello! Thank you for leaving the great review and recommendation! I really enjoyed the time with you and very happy to have had an opportunity to welcome you in Kagoshima. Please stay safe and healthy and in the near future, come back to Japan again!! When you have another plan to come Kagoshima, please let me know!! Best regards, Mikiko
