Kagoshima Private Tours

“Fantastic and Amazing Experience!! ”

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Hitomi visiting the wonderful island to see and experience Sakurajima. From the initial communication to setting up the trip including specific dietary requirements and timings, everything was done promptly and with ease. On the day, as agreed everything from the pickup at our hotel to the whole day's schedule ran perfectly. It was meticulously planned and followed and yet it never felt like we were following a script. Hitomi is the consummate professional who speaks perfect English and her knowledge of the area and volcano is second to none. Highly recommended and we hope that we will be able to visit again soon!!

Thank you so much for posting such a wonderful review; I was truly impressed by your writing. I am delighted that you and your lovely family enjoyed your visit to Sakurajima, an active volcano. I appreciate you traveling all the way to Kagoshima—navigating the Shinkansen system, with its sometimes-cumbersome ticketing process, to tour Japan. Please do come back to visit Kyushu again with your delightful wife and children. Arigato Jeegar-san

Dear Jo and family! Thank you so much for your warm recommendation! This area, as you saw, is so rich in nature, history, culture, and good food. I only wish we had a bit more time together. I hope you’ll visit Japan again, and if you return to Kyushu—whether on a cruise or for a longer trip—we would be happy to show you even more beautiful and hidden places. Warm regards, Yaron

“A fabulous day with Guide - Yaron”

We had the most wonderful day with Yaron and his driver meandering south through rich volcanic soils with many farms growing an assortment of vegetables and tea. Yaron was very patient answering our many questions about local farming and industry. We learned a lot about Japanese history both very old and the more recent times. The Chiran Gardens with ancient Samuari houses and gardens were such a privilege to visit, so much history with original houses over 300 years old. Truly the most beautiful park and Cherry Blossoms was experienced at the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots where we were told of their tragic missions during WWII. Our lunch restaurant was an amazing venue and will never be forgotten: eating traditional food in a traditional way never experienced before. There was so much more during the tour with photo stops and local knowledge imparted which we so enjoyed. A huge thank you Yaron and 100% for being such a great guide. Susie, Rob, Jilly and Hugh.

Dear Susie, Rob, Jilly and Hugh, Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review, I truly appreciate it ! It was our pleasure spending the day with you, we glad you chose a route that combines landscapes, agriculture, and culture as it really reflects the hidden part of southern Japan. Your curiosity about local farming and japanese history made the experience even more meaningful from my side as well. I’m glad to hear that Chiran, the samurai residences, and the Peace Museum left a strong impression on you. These places carry powerful stories, and it means a lot to me that you connected with them. I hope this day will remain a memorable part of your journey in Japan, Wishing you all the very best in your travels, and I would be delighted to meet you again in the future. Yours, Yaron
