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.

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.

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!
