About Tour Guide Moriaki A.


Hello, I am a retired captain of a commuter airline, with over 40 years of experience and over 22,400 flight hours focused on providing safe and comfortable travel. I have had the opportunity to visit various countries, including Japan, the United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines.


After retiring, I worked as a volunteer guide for city walks in Kagoshima for eight years and obtained my certification as a certified guide for the World Heritage Sites in Kagoshima Prefecture. The joy of traveling overseas is getting to know different cultures, languages, and the unique lifestyles and food cultures of the people. However, what is most valuable to me are the memories made meeting people during travels.


During my career, I focused on safely and comfortably transporting passengers. Today, I aim to continue a job that brings travelers fun and memorable experiences. I am committed to being a reliable guide for everyone and providing memorable trips.

Pros: Punctuial and proactive in customizing our tour. Provided recommendations based on our interests and has an informative narrative of what we were seeeing as welll as Kagoshima historyt. All in all a great day under his care. Con: somewhat quiet spoklen and difficult to understand at, so patience is a virtue for the overall experience

Thank you for your wonderful review. Thank you for discovering and enjoying the charms of Kagoshima. There are still many wonderful hidden charms in Kagoshima. If you have another opportunity, we hope you will discover even more of them. I will endeavor to provide you with an even clearer guide when the time comes. Thank you very much.

Kagoshima Volcano

Moriaki was punctual and very accommodating. Getting off Celebrity Millenium took an extra hour because of Japanese customs inspection for all passengers since our ship spent a day in S Korea. We took the ferry with the car that Moriaki rented for 4 guests. The ferry was easy and we drove to volcano viewing area. Very cool thing to see. Later on, spent time at garden area and watched volcano spew large volume of smoke. Moriaki’s English was ok and he knows his city well. Thx Moriaki. 5 stars

Thank you for your kind review. I will try to improve my passable English even a little. And I would like to further convey the charm of Kagoshima. I think you were very lucky to be able to see the smoke rising from Sakurajima at Sengan-en. If you have the opportunity, I hope you will come back to Kagoshima and explore even more of its charm. Thank you very much.
