Hi! I’m a licensed guide living in Kagoshima. Please call me Miki ! Now I’m working as a guide and an interpreter. And I have a certificate for medical interpreter. I love to meet new people.
In my town Kagoshima, there are abundant nature and places where you can experience unique local culture. My favorite place is Mt. Sakurajima. It’s one of the best active volcanoes in the world. From observatories, you could feel its energy and, moreover if you are lucky, it will erupt in front of you!
If you are interested in history of Japan, here is the right place to visit because..... oops, I’ll tell you the story when we meet!!
I’m very flexible and cheerful. And I’m very happy to arrange a tour for you and customize it according to your request!! So please leave your message to me and feel free to ask me if you have any questions or specific requests before you come.
I’m looking forward to seeing you here Kagoshima!! Can’t wait!!
Miki

“Amazing guide”
We had a wonderful time with Mikiko, our day just flew by. She met us at the cruise port and we made our way to Mt Sakurajima. Her knowledge about the volcano was excellent. We have had many guides, but we have never had as personal connection as we did with Makiko. She was kind and warm. Her English is AMAZING! We were surprised to learn that she had learned some English in school, but perfected it by watching Netflix. Our day with Mikiko was one of the best on our trip to Japan.

Dear Marie, Thank you for the kind and heartwarming words! It means a lot to me. I really enjoyed the time with you two. Please come back to Kagoshima. There are more things to do here!! Until then, please stay safe and healthy^ ^ Best regards, Mikiko

“An excellent day at Kagoshima”
My family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our 6-hour tour with Miss Mikiko. We visited Sakurajima and Sengaen gardens. Ms Mikiko gave us lots of interesting information and also shared her personal anecdotes of how it was, living life close to an active volcano. She took us to a nice restaurant for a light lunch. Sakurajima is a fascinating volcano and Sengaen has such beautifully manicured gardens. It was a day well spent.

Thank you for joining the tour with me! I appreciate your generous words for the review. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to have the tour with such a wonderful family like you. I hope that you come back to Kagoshima and visit the beautiful mountains in Kirishima next time! We can meet then again!! Until then, please stay safe and healthy. Best regards, Mikiko
