Originally from Canada, I've been living in Japan for 35 years, most of that in Miyazaki. I speak the language and I know the area better than most locals. In Miyazaki, there is a lack of public transport so I'd be happy to drive you to places like Aoshima (a beautiful beach and surfing hub), Udo Jingu (a unique seaside shrine), the samurai and merchant residences of Obi, and introduce you to the best spots for local food, shopping, or nightlife, as well as let you in on a few hidden secrets of Miyazaki if you have the time.

Hi I'm Eiji, an English-speaking tour guide in Kagoshima and Amami Oshima. Born in Tokyo and left the bustling capital when I was 22 years old with my little backpack. After spent my youth to see and experience the world, more than 25 countries in total, and lived in several areas of Japan, such as Yakushima, Izu, Kochi, and Amami Oshima. Now, I’m based in Kagoshima, still have a wanderlust… Since 2010, I have worked as an English-speaking tour guide in Japan, for INTREPID TRAVEL for 3 years, as a sea kayak tour guide in Izu for 3 years, and as a self-employed in Amami Oshima for 9 years, love to show people around my favorite places. My interests are traveling, birding, playing with nature, and cooking as well... I'm looking forward to sharing our time together!!

Aoshima and Nichinan Coast half-day tour
We start at one of the greatest attractions in Southern Japan, magnificent Aoshima beach and its historical shrine, plus a chance to visit some local shops and tropical gardens. Then, we drive down the beautiful Nichinan seaside coastal road with several recommended seascape photo ops (Horikiri Pass, Futo no Totoro) along the way, to the mysterious and atmospheric Udo Shrine, built into a cliff rock face above the crashing sea before returning to Miyazaki City.

Miyazaki Tour Reviews
Valencia I.
“An unforgettable moment in Takachiho Gorge”
Our tour of Takachiho Gorge was absolutely magical, and it wouldn’t have been the same without our wonderful guide, Michael san. From the moment we met, He made us feel welcome and excited to explore this breathtaking part of Kyushu. Michael san was incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history, legends, and natural beauty. The way He shared the myth of the Sun Goddess and pointed out hidden details along the river made the whole experience come alive. We also appreciated his patience in helping us get the perfect photos and suggesting the best viewpoints for the waterfalls and basalt cliffs. It felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than a guide. If you’re visiting Takachiho Gorge, I can’t recommend this tour and Michael san highly enough. It was an unforgettable day filled with beauty, stories, and warm hospitality. Thank you for showing us the true heart of Takachiho!
Michael G.
Thank you. I had a wonderful day with you and Grace, Valencia. As you said, it felt like we were friends and the glorious weather made everything perfect. It was just unfortunate that the boats in the gorge were all reserved. Maybe next time…

“Aya Tour to Suspension bridge ”
We had a wonderful day with Michael in Aya. He was flexible and accommodating, even when our plans changed at the last minute. Michael took great care of us, was engaging to talk to, and shared a wealth of knowledge. We highly recommend him!
Michael G.
It was great to meet you and your team Alex and I'm glad that I was able to offer some help. You made my job very easy thanks to your thoughtfulness. Have a great rest-of-trip in Kyushu!

“Nichinan Coast day trip with Totoro of Futo”
Had super great day trip to Aoshima! Michael was very knowledgeable and shared interesting stories and local insights throughout the ride. It made the experience even more special and enjoyable. I like most especially how flexible the schedule with the time and the places. Highly recommend this service if you want a stress-free and fun way to explore Nichinan Coast area!!
Michael G.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed the trip, Andrea! You and Rain were both so positive and energetic which made my job that much easier. I hope you take back good memories along with your souvenirs.
