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!!

“Wonderful island”
Eiji was a great guide. He listened to what we wanted and we had a great day. He is very kind and despite the language difference we had a great time. It was wet that day but Eiji brought umbrellas for everyone. He has a very beautiful smile.

“Eiji is a fantastic guide!”
Eiji is a fantastic guide. We booked a birding/nature tour with him. We saw many new birds in a short amount of time. It started to rain, and he took us on a tour of the island and a stop at a Kimono factory and a chicken soup lunch. We had a great day with him. Don't hesitate to book with Eiji.

“Great trip to see the ferns”
Eiji is very kind and knowledgeable. He came very punctually at 5.30 am to pick me at the hotel. But it is better you book directly with him and avoid this platform which takes a ridiculous one-third in fees for providing very basic functionality.
