“A wonderful day in Kagoshima!”

Sini was an absolute pleasure! She picked us up promptly when she promised to and took us on a grand adventure. She was kind and engaging with our small child, patient and accomidating to my husbands unusual requests, and made sure the whole family was comfortable and arrived back safely. Overall a fantastic tour guide, we cannot recomend enough. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review! I’m so glad to hear that everyone, especially your little prince, had a great time exploring Sakurajima and Sengan-en. It was a joy to spend the day with you all. Knowing that you felt safe and comfortable means a lot to me. You are a wonderful family, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime! Thank you!!

“Special day with Yaron touring Chirian and the scenic coast.”

Yaron was such a pleasure to tour with. His communication with us before our tour was outstanding. He was interested in learning about our interests and wanted to tailor our tour to them. He promptly picked us up at our hotel at the hour requested. We felt confident driving with him and appreciated the comfort of his car. Highlights of the day included our visit to Chiran Samurai residence street. It was a wonderful experience and Yaron was exceptionally caring with our mobility issues. Yaron took us to remote locations throughout our tour that only his experience as a local resident would know about including a beautiful waterfall. We then experienced a traditional Japanese lunch in the village of Ibusuki in a building that was a former Samurai residence. It was such a treat and the food and service was outstanding. We also did a coastal drive and saw the surfers in the ocean and another amazing volcano. To top it off before the return to Kagoshima, Yaron was kind enough to take us to a local bakery for some amazing baked goods. Yaron made the day special. We would highly recommend him. He is an exceptional tour guide and speaks excellent English as well as Japanese.

Dear Stanford Thank you so much for your beautiful review. I was truly touched by your words. I enjoyed every moment of our day together, and it made me very happy to see how everything connected so nicely —the nature with the history of this place, the restaurant and the small surprises along the way. Your warmth and kindness, made the tour special for me as well. I’m very glad that you felt comfortable and that we could enjoy those gem spots in one day.I wish you a wonderful continuation of your journey in Japan and many more happy travels around the world. Thank you again for choosing to spend your day with me. It was truly a pleasure. Warm regards, Yaron

“Wonderful insight into samurai and kamikaze culture, rounded out with beautiful scenery”

Yaron was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. He was very cognizant of meeting our expressed interests by showing us some hidden treasures along the route and some great photography spots. We enjoyed our walk through Chiran among the former samurai houses and amazing gardens while learning some history. A quick stop at the museum for kamikaze gave us some insight into their sacrifice. Seeing tea fields from a high vantage point was lovely. Later we were able to eventually get a good view of the volcano from a couple of different spots. The sea horse farm was enchanting in such an out of the way spot with such panoramic views. Lunch was a lot of fun at a unique restaurant by a waterfall fishing noodles for our soup out of a spinning container filled with fresh spring water. All in all, a very pleasant day led by a wonderful guide who sincerely wanted to do his best for our tour. Highly recommend.

Dear Mary, Thank you so much for your warm and wonderful review. It really made my day... I also had a great time with you. Right from the start, I felt a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere, and that is something I really appreciate. I always get excited when I guide, and you made it to become even more fun (-: We were also lucky with the weather! The rain started only when we were on the way back to the ship — perfect timing. It was truly an amazing day. I wish you a great trip around Japan. And if you come back to Kagoshima, please remember that this area still has many beautiful and special places to explore. Warm regards,
