About Tour Guide Shiho F.

I was born and raised on the Osumi Peninsula in the eastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture. In elementary school, I walked 4 km one way to school.


I used to fuss with the neighborhood children about the kappa (a well-known Japanese specter, water imps) in the creek.

In summer, I drank from the freshwater flowing into the eel pond on my way home and picked wild strawberries to eat.

I aim to be a guide who can provide such "unique" and exciting experiences that I cultivated as a child.

I am a local, and I can give you a guide who understands the area.


I have a husband, a son, a daughter, and two cats.

My home is in a rich natural environment, and in early summer, you can hear the call of the ruddy kingfisher!
