Kagoshima Tour Reviews

Wow of A Day

Mikiko is a wonderful guide. Her personality is very warm and engaging. Her flexibility to make changes for her customers was great. Weather conditions on the day weren’t conducive to our planned day, hence plans modified to make a perfect day. We experienced a wonderful day of local Japanese Culture. Later on she kindly assisted me with our further planning in Japan.

Michael A.

Dear Micheal, Thank you for your great review on me and about the tour we enjoyed together! It was my pleasure to have a tour for your wonderful group!! Please enjoy the rest of the days in Japan and when you have a chance, please come back to Kagoshima!!
