We’ll visit some of the most beautiful and interesting spots in the city, with stories and views you won’t find in guidebooks. One highlight is a short ferry ride to Mt. Sakurajima, Japan’s most active volcano today. I’ll share how this wild landscape was shaped, and how locals live calmly in its shadow — with ash on their cars and humor in their hearts. As a local guide, I’ll choose the best places to match the day’s weather and your interests, so you get the most out of your visit.

“Sini is the best guide for Kagoshima”
Sini is very nice and knowledgeable of the region. We were able to adapt the itinerary where we wanted to stay longer or even skip a location. Always taking us to the best locations. We had a Mandarin speaking colleague so it was fun for him to speak with Sini and ask questions. Definitely am recommending her for my friends traveling to Kagoshima.
Sini T.

“Kagoshima Half Day”
Our guide,Sini was spectacular. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture, making every stop come to life. For our first time in Kagoshima she made the history so interesting and explained everything in great detail but yet not over the top and we came away with so much information. She was very helpful answering our questions carefully. English was very good. She provided exactly the sites we wnated to see. She helped me shop for the souveirs I wanted. She was ablsolutely delightful
