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.

Beautiful day in Kagoshima

Had a beautiful day with Hitomi visiting Kagoshima. Pottery and whisky distillery were fabulous places to visit on a rainy day. Our lunch was delicious and healthy. We absolutely loved the entire day. Thanks Hitomi. You are a fantastic guide.

Thank you for visiting Kagoshima. I also think it was the perfect itinerary for a rainy day. I had a great time spending the day with such wonderful people as you, and I am so happy to know that you all enjoyed the day in Kagoshima. I wish you all the best!

A great customizable tour of a fascinating area!

Our guide, Hitomi A. was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, kind and empathetic. Our driver, Mr. Take was also great. One of us uses a rolling walker, so they made sure the car trunk was large enough to handle it easily. They took us to the volcanic area Sakurajima and gave us a real insight into the whole are. Hitomi suggested a restaurant that specialized in Waygu Beef (the best comes from Kagashima) and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. The Sengan-en Garden and Villa gave us a great background on the feudal system in Japan as well as the beginning of the Meiji era. It was also beautiful to boot! I cannot recommend Hitomi A. highly enough. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!

Thank you for visiting Kagoshima and for taking the time to post a great review. It was a pleasure to show you some of the best that Kagoshima has to offer on a beautiful, sunny day. I hope that you will remember Kagoshima when you see your beautiful Satsuma Crystal cut glass and Satsuma ware. I wish you all the best.

Sakurajima Island

Hitomi was very helpful in helping us plan our day in Kagoshima and Sakurajima Island. She has excellent English and is very organised and knowledgeable. We had a great time.
