“Cherry blossom season ”
We went with Melinda and spent a busy and wonderful day with visits to Mt Sakurajima on ferry to see volcano, take a hot foot bath, visit shrines, shopping and to view many perfect cherry blossoms.

Dear Alice, Thank you so much for choosing to travel with us. our guide, Melinda, has extensive experience in Kagoshima, and we feel very fortunate she was available to guide you during such a busy season.

“An overall fantastic experience ”
We had a wonderful time exploring Kagoshima. When there was an issue with scheduling, Yaron was quick to inform us and present an excellent alternative solution that ended up not impacting our tour at all. The sights were magnificent, and the tour was well tailored to our interests. A special highlight was our stop for lunch at a little cafe on the slopes of Sakurajima, where they served some delicious daikon that they grow right there.

Thanks so much, Andrew, for choosing to travel with us in the Kagoshima area! It’s such a beautiful and special place, as you’ve already seen, and I hope you’ll make it back to Kyushu someday—there’s still so much to discover! Best, Yaron

“Best tour & Best guide!”
Best ever! Yaron is a wounderful guide, very knowledgeable, he shared with us lots of interstening anecdotes and stories about the places we have visted, about Japan, and every day life in Japan. We visited many special places we would not have experience to see without him. Highly recommended!

Hello, 我姓鄧，英文名叫Tiffany。來日本讀書到結婚工作20多年的澳門人。現在是日本九州的中文導游(Chinese / Cantonese tour guide)。除了日語和廣東話之外,國語（普通話）流利,以及日常英文溝通都沒問題,所以我的客人大多來自香港,澳門,台灣,國內,還有馬來西亞,新加坡,還有美加華人等國籍非常多元化。由於我在日本的大學讀完研究生以後工作了差不多十年中，曾經從事過鹿兒島國際交流協會，鹿兒島觀光連盟（相當於官方旅游局）和主持過本地電視台（KYT）介紹旅游和美食的節目。所以對於九州，特別是鹿兒島這個地方的風土人情，美食特色的實務和相關專業知識,可能比日本人一點都不遜色呢（笑！） 無論您是幾個小時或者一天的短途旅遊, 或是連續幾天的深度旅遊,我相信可以為您的旅途錦上添花。 我們可以選擇去鹿兒島經典名勝的櫻島火山、仙巌園，指宿泡沙蒸溫泉，霧島的高千穗牧場親親大自然；也可以去體會潛力新景點：去看茶田，試穿和服；看千隻仙鶴在日出日落中飛舞；去霧島泡泥漿溫泉；去離島的火箭基地看火箭發射，衝浪或劃橡皮艇,甚至單車游、自駕游,甚至一起定制路線的自由行等，相信我都能滿足您的願望！數小時、半天、一天，或者跨境的多天游，都可以事前通過溝通爲您私人訂製,保證貼心安排。。。除了鹿兒島,宮崎,熊本,大分,長崎,福岡等九州各地,我都可以與您同行,讓您暢通無阻! 不要猶豫了，快來日本跟我一起領略這個九州淳樸的南方城市的美麗風情吧！ 2019年10月 Tang Tiffany 2023・03 更新

Hi, I’m Hoshie! I’m a national government licensed tour guide from Osaka. I moved to Kagoshima in 2021, and after living here for four years, I’ve completely fallen in love with this amazing place. That’s why I decided to become a guide in Kagoshima! Kagoshima is a perfect blend of stunning nature and rich culture. We can see the majestic Sakurajima volcano from the city, which reminds us the powerful natural forces. Kagoshima was home to major Meiji Restoration figures, so history lovers will find plenty to explore. And of course, the food is incredible—famous for Kurobuta (Berkshire pork), Satsuma-age (fried fish cakes), and Shochu (a local distilled spirit). I’m passionate about history and love visiting historical sites all over Japan, especially in Kyoto and Nara, where I can explore Japan's ancient history. I also like outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and camping. Kagoshima’s natural landscape is perfect for these adventures, so there’s always something new to discover! I look forward to sharing wonderful Kagoshima with you and making unforgettable memories together!

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!
