Miyazaki Tour Reviews
Nikola W.
“Outstanding Day Exploring Kirishima and Ebino with Michael”
We had a fantastic day touring the Kirishima and Ebino area with Michael, including Kirishima-jingū Shrine and the beautiful volcanic landscapes near the Miyazaki border. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the region, its history and the volcanic landscape, and he made the day both informative and enjoyable. Michael was very easy to chat with and created a relaxed atmosphere throughout the tour. He was also extremely accommodating and flexible, making sure we were able to see as much as possible during our time in the area without ever feeling rushed. We really appreciated his local insights and thoughtful planning, which helped make the experience memorable. Highly recommend this tour and Michael as a guide for anyone visiting Kagoshima and the Kirishima region.

I had a great day up in Kirishima/Ebino with you Nikola. We managed to get some sunshine, some cooler air, and the seasonal azaleas, which, along the good conversation, made for a fun outing. Have a safe trip back!

“Five stars!! ”
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour yesterday with Michael. He was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with tour arrangements. We would highly recommend him as a tour guide. Loved exploring the Nichinan coast, Aoshima and Obi. Very interesting and culturally fascinating

Thanks so much for the kind words, Nikki. Most of all, I'm glad that you enjoyed this little, obscure corner of the country. We managed to have great weather and you and Bruce were very congenial -- making my job a breeze. I must also note that you were the first guests I have ever taken to a Japanese hardware store -- I hope that Bruce was satisfied with his new drill. Anyway, have a good, safe trip back and please spread the word about Miyazaki!

“Miyazaki Tour”
My brother Jason and I flew out to Miyazaki airport where Eiji picked us up. Not only is he a welcoming and friendly tour guide, but he's also very knowledgeable. He was more than happy to explain the historical background of the various places in we visited such as Obi Castle Town, Udo shrine, and Aoshima Island. Additionally, he's also makes good suggestions. For instance, when he learned that we practiced archery, he told us we could try out Shihanmato style archery at Obi Castle Town and that was pretty enjoyable. On top of that, the restaurant he recommended makes was excellent. We had nanban chicken and that was delicious. If you're looking for a tour guide for Miyazaki, Eiji is excellent.at it. If I decide to visit Miyazaki in the future and need a tour guide, Eiji will be one I'll definitely reach out to. Thanks for the tour, Eiji. Jason and I had a great time.
