About Tour Guide Hitomi A.

Hello! I’m Hitomi. I was born and raised in Kagoshima. After graduating from the college, I mostly lived in Tokyo and came back to my hometown 10 years ago. I love communicating with people and sharing each other’s culture and history. As I used to work for an airline company, I could travel to many foreign countries with lots of joy experiencing their unique cultures. Now, I want to help visitors from abroad enjoy Japanese unique culture, history, nature.

Reviews

Wonderful day in Beppu with Hitomi

We booked a whisky tasting itinerary with Hitomi during our brief cruise stop over in Beppu. She arrived early and greeted us at the terminal with the taxi driver. We had a blast touring the distilleries and learning about the history of the whisky in Japan. We also enjoyed Japanese BBQ for lunch which was just delicious. Hitomi has a great personality, she speaks English well and understands our need. She really took care of our group. We had never thought we would enjoy this small town so much. It is now one of our fondest memories in Japan :)

Great day with Hitomi in Kagoshima

We had a group of 5 adults stopping in Kagoshima via cruise ship for the day, and booked Hitomi to tour us around. She did a great job. Very friendly and personable. Kept us on track and ahead of the crowds. We had also booked a van for the day. Went to Sengan-en House which had a really nice house structure and beautiful gardens right on the bay. Much history here. Then she took us to a Wagyu beef restaurant for lunch, then we took the ferry to Sakurajima island to look at the volcano at a couple of viewing spots. Stopped first to soak our feet in the geothermal bath…pretty hot water !! The volcano just happened to spew out ash about 500’ high twice while we were on the island…something that doesn’t happen very often. A really nice day and Hitomi made it fun and special.

Thank you for your wonderful review and for visiting Japan and Kagoshima. It was a great pleasure to show you and your family around many tourist attractions in Kagoshima city during the 7 hours. Yes, it was especially amazing to see Sakurajima erupt so explosively twice. It was my first time to see it up close and a moving experience to witness the power of nature with you all so closely. I Look forward to your next visit and wish you and your family all the best!

Well organized tour and a great guide

Hitomi was a great guide. From a year out in planning, she communicated well, so there were no surprises. Pricing is clearly setup. The tour goes to many places a tour bus can't go to, and she was able to adjust the start time of the tour. Being a private tour there is so much flexibility and no waiting for other people. She booked our lunch for us and the pricing was a great value. Food was really yummy. We learned so much about the sites and Japanese life, history and traditions. I'd recommend booking this tour, as there are a limited number of quality guides.

Thank you for your lovely review. You've come during a fantastic week in Japan with the cherry blossoms starting to bloom. It was a wonderful day introducing Kagoshima and sharing so much with you both. I wish you and your family all the best.
