“Chiran Town Samurai village Day Tour”
We had an excellent tour with Yaron who was very flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to get as much into the day with our reduced time due to having to rejoin our ship. We would highly recommend Yaron. 5 stars.

“Samurai Village and Green Tea”
Yaron is an outstanding guide. He showed me places that most tourists don't get to see, and he was extremely helpful and informative. Top notch!

(3 reviews)Thank you very much for traveling with me today and for your warm words! I'm very happy that you could enjoy the culture and rhythm of south Kagoshima. Actually thanks to the soft rain we got even better views and colors of a beautiful mystic nature. Have a pleasant trip ! Best regards Yaron
“Great guide when in Kagoshima!”
Booked with Yaron for a tour of Chiran out of the port of Kagoshima. He was waiting for us with the taxi driver (who had a speaker and microphone that made it easy to hear his commentary) in a timely manner and we headed to our first stop which was the Samurai gardens. He had the itinerary well prepared and we had ample time for all the stops planned. On the visit to the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots he accompanied us and provided great explanations. Lunch was at a really fun restaurant which culminated our visit to Chiran. I highly recommend Yaron for your next visit to the Kagoshima area.
