Kagoshima is blessed with many volcanoes, a mild climate and a lot of rain.

People have survived on barren volcanic ash plateaus.

Currently, the agricultural production is the highest in Japan and marine resources are also abundant.

Relatively close ancestors started the industrial revolution along with the social revolution for modernization in Japan.

Western countries hailed this as an oriental miracle.

Please enjoy the trip to find many of Kagoshima's secret keys.

About Tour Guide Moriaki A.


Hello, I am a retired captain of a commuter airline, with over 40 years of experience and over 22,400 flight hours focused on providing safe and comfortable travel. I have had the opportunity to visit various countries, including Japan, the United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines.


After retiring, I worked as a volunteer guide for city walks in Kagoshima for eight years and obtained my certification as a certified guide for the World Heritage Sites in Kagoshima Prefecture. The joy of traveling overseas is getting to know different cultures, languages, and the unique lifestyles and food cultures of the people. However, what is most valuable to me are the memories made meeting people during travels.


During my career, I focused on safely and comfortably transporting passengers. Today, I aim to continue a job that brings travelers fun and memorable experiences. I am committed to being a reliable guide for everyone and providing memorable trips.

A Perfect Day

To quote my wife, "we had a perfect day." Moriaki A. was a wonderful guide who took us to an amazing sand bath followed by an excellent lunch. We had been concerned doing things far away from the cruise port and transactional dealing with the sand baths. Moriaki met us right outside of customs off the cruise ship and took us by his private car an hour away to the sand baths. He escorted us to the front counter and helped us deal with the cashier and then guided us through the spa and waited while we enjoyed all the facilities. He followed that up by taking us to a local Ramen house and explained the menu to us and helped us choose. He then took us back to the ship exactly on schedule, making it a completely stress free day. Thank you.

Thanks to everyone's help, we were able to complete the course as planned. I hope that you all have fond memories of Kagoshima. Everyone's happy smiles have become my memories as well. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.

Wonderful tour of Kagoshima!

Moriaki gave the four of us an excellent tour of several fascinating sites in Kagoshima. He was extremely organized and kept us on schedule throughout the day. He provided outstanding narration and history on the places we visited and made the day interesting. He organized a very enjoyable lunch for us at an authentic local restaurant. Overall Moriaki provided a fascinating glimpse into the history of Japan and a most memorable day.

Robert R.-san I hope you are well. Thank you for your wonderful review. I hope you have returned home safely. I would be very happy if you could learn some of the good things about Japan and Kagoshima on this trip. I think it will be easier to understand why Japan has become such a livable and prosperous country by looking back at history. Also, I think we can change the future. I believe that this is a worthwhile endeavor. If you have the opportunity, please come to Kagoshima again. I wish you all the best. Thank you. Moriaki
