“Sakurajima and Chiran Peace Museum and Samurai District”

We are a group of 4 adults from Singapore on a Japan cruise holiday stopping in Kagoshima for a day. Mr Eiji K was our private guide in Kagoshima. Eiji-san is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, with a very pleasant and friendly personality. He speaks very fluent English, communicates well and has a good sense of humour. He is punctual and covers the itinerary of our tour very efficiently with due consideration to our cruise ship's departure time from the port. Due to rainy weather condition, we decided, after visiting Sakurajima, to skip the Sengan-en Garden strolling part of our tour and instead requested Eiji-san to take us to the nearby small town of Chiran to visit the Peace Museum (history of Kamikaze pilots) and the Samurai District. Eiji-san was very flexible and amenable to switch the itinerary, although the driving distance from Sakurajima was quite far and knowing the change would result in our agreed tour time period being exceeded. Both these places were surprisingly very interesting and educational although they are not well advertised in travel websites. The mini-van used for our trip was very comfortable, clean and safe. Overall, we had a very enjoyable day with Eiji-san as our guide. We highly recommend Mr Eiji K as a private guide for Kagoshima. CH Koh Singapore

“Best choice for Kagoshima whisky tour”

If you are looking for whisky tour for Kanosuke and Tsunuki in a day, Eiji guide will be the best choice! Otherwise, I wouldn't have any chance to visit both distilleries in this short period.

“Unforgettable Chiran and Eiji”

Among all the trips that I have undertaken so far in Japan the trip to Chiran, to the Samurai Residence Gardens and the Peace Museum dedicated to the kamikaze pilots of WWII, is one of those that will stay in my memory the longest. The well-kept Samurai residences and their sophisticated gardens are beautiful (quiet and uncrowded) and the Peace Museum heart-rending. However, what truly made the experience unforgetable was Eiji’s company: Eiji is an excellent guide with an outstanding personality, reliable, cultivated and open-minded, he speaks better English than I do ;-) and patiently answered my hundreds of questions with sincerity and profound knowledge. Without him my trip to Chiran, although impressive, would have lingered on the surface, thanks to him I learned so much about the places we visited and on Japan’s past and present in general. Thank you, Eiji, I truly appreciated your company !
